Default got scammed on ebay

So 3 weeks ago I brought this Best Motoring DVD (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWN:IT) and was supposely shipped out over two weeks ago.

I know for a fact that USPS cannot take this long so I emailed the seller last week. No response. I emailed the seller again Friday, no response. Finally I tried one last time yesterday and nothing.

Today I called my bank, Bank of America, and disputed the charge. They are refunding the money back to me tomorrow. I was quite surprised by their helpfulness! BoA rocks!

I hate ebay, half of the peeps there are scammers. Anyone know of a good, legit place to buy BM Videos online?

you don't come across many Aholes on Ebay but when you do it sure leaves a lasting impression in your mouth!

Mav - i would bet that you will get the DVD...look at the guys feedback...he has almost 3200 feedback with only 41 negatives.... that is pretty good......

i found that fire damaged S2000 that you checked out for me on ebay.

I find it hard to believe that this guy is a scammer. He has over 3100 positive feedbacks on eBay with a 98.7% rating. Plus, he is a power seller. I'm sure there is some sort of misunderstanding. He's been doing this for 3 1/2 years. The e-mail must have gotten mixed up somewhere. Best of luck.

Actually, I've bought two Best Motoring DVDs from that seller in the past with no problems. I'm sure it will get worked out.
