Just Got Ripped off on Ebay
I just bought a set of Titleist 690 CB's from Ebay that were supposed to be in great shape with only normal wear and tear. The lower clubs 7-PW have the wear in the sweet spot that forged clubs get, no big deal. All clubs have bag chatter that forged clubs get, again no big deal. The 8 iron has a ding on the back of the club head and the 5 iron has a ding in the toe. The bottoms show wear, but if you are not as picky as I am about the cosmetics then they will be a sweet set of forged clubs. I have them posted in the classifieds for anyone who is interested.
Just want to warn everyone of the dangers of dealing with Ebay. Buyer beware.Last edited by 1972Apex; 12-01-2005 at 10:07 AM.

Neutral Feedback
If you really want to stick it to the guy, you can leave neutral feedback and stick it to him in the comment. He won't be able to leave a reply to neutral ranked feedback as he could if it was negative feedback. Just depends how pissed off you really are.

I am kind of lost on what to do about feedback. Since he is waiting for me to reply first I can't hammer him with a Neg because my record is %100 and I don't want a Neg on my record from a guy that ripped me of and then finished the job with crapy feedback. I contacted my credit card company and they are going to send me forms, the Paypal route is useless, but if can just off load them first then i'll take my losses and chalk it up to experience.

Ok,
Here are some pics. The 7 iron is in the worse condition and thats what you see here. Looking at the faces and the grooves the clubs are not that bad and if i would have been made aware of the condition before hand I would be happy. It's the fact of being lied to and the thought that I was buying something else. Anyway..........

Bummer. Looking at the pics those clubs have some serious miles on them.

Denny. That is quite unfortunate. Do you have a link to the winning bid. PM is OK.

Your feelings are understandable
I can see why you are disappointed. No mention of the dings in the description and these certainly do not look like normal wear and tear clubcs to me.
You should really file a dispute with Ebay and push for a refund. These should definitely qualify as being significantly not as described. Check out:

It notes that you will be referred to Paypal for resolution, but push the issue. Call your credit card company and see if they can help. Since you did receive the items, they may not be able to reverse the charge, but they could certainly apply some pressure to Paypal.Last edited by Big Johnny69; 12-01-2005 at 07:07 AM.

I did contact the credit card company but I don't think I can get back the jacked up shipping costs he charged me ( which at the time seem ok becasue of the final auction price) plus the taxes from customs.

Looks like the pictures were doctored. I would claim that he mis-represented the item and ask for a refund. That really sucks!! Especially when you look so forward to getting them. Sorry to hear about that.

I had a bad experience when new on ebay, received shirt in different color, after 6 emails, and 3 weeks of no reply, posted negative.
Well seller within 15 minutes replies with negative, lies in their version. I end up dinged in my feedback rating.
Could have avoided that with your method, although I did pursue the person and their feedback, eventually got it removed by ebay, but after a ton of effort. Cheers"Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual"

they actually don't look to bad to me... dings don't affect playability, eh?
might i ask how much your winning bid was? i would think about $250 USD (not including shipping) would be a decent deal?

The whole Feedback on Ebay is BS anyway! Seller's should have to leave feeback 3 days after payment is received, most wait until the buyer posts +ve then they may post. As a buyer it isn't fair to be black mailed into leaving feedback for people who don't deserve it out of fear of having your own rep damaged.

I had a problem with XXXX.com when I won a Taylor 580XD driver for my fathers birthday. After winning the bid I tried to contact them with 8 emails and 4 phone calls.....which none were answered! When the final day to pay came around, they emailed me and threatened to rat me out to Ebay for not paying.....so I paid.
I tried to find out if there was a tracking number so I could see where it was and when it would arrive (on a tight deadline for the birthday!) and still got no response.
so I left a neutral feedback saying that they were extremely slow to corrispond after 8 emails and 4 calls.....but the product was as described. They left a negative feedback to me saying I was a liar! You can reply to feedback as well for yourself which I did to explain what happened......they called me a freakin liar again! I'm not the only one who had trouble with these people......after looking through their history, several people said the same about the emails.....and XXX.com response every time was to call the buyer a liar!
I have reported them to Ebay but they did nothing.....
Now....all of their bids have a clause that states that due to some emails not getting through.....that a buyer must call if they get no response....no Kidding!

This is why I don't deal with ebay and only deal with local stores or the wonderfully honest and trustworthy members of Ottawa Golf for all my club hoing needs!

They all arent bad.....thats only one bad incident. I have had many many transactions go very smooth...actually, I just received my new Florsheim Magnaforce golf shoes from Texas an hour ago.....cost me $34 Cdn and took them 2 days to ship! Bought my TA3 irons (still in plastic) for $345Cdn.....so the deals are out there......but you still have to watch yourself.

Well these 690 CB's are the older version, which was replaced by the dot series. And overall, these clubs are made from the softest kind of steel existing now, that's why they are so fragile, but whatever, they look playable. I bought some stuff on ebay, but only to those who have kind of ebay stores, and look really serious. You have to spend something like 400 dollars to get a good deal in a cosmetic way. But i'm sure these heads will perform well, don't worry.

I have edited the above posts replacing the site with XXXx.com.
If you have issues with an ebay seller please contact ebay.
If you want to discuss various ebay issues and safeguards... have at it.
