Car transaction fraud on EBay
|
Dec 2, 2007 Euromotorsales complaint by Smasud |
I bought this Chevrolet corvette from EuroMotorSales from Mr. Ramin and Kamran in Houston, Texas off Ebay. I gave them $500 as down payment via PayPal. The seller promised that he will give me 30 days warranty with the car and that the car is in good working condition. The down payment was made on November 4 and on November 10 I flew to Houston from Pennsylvania to check out the car. I met Mr. Ramin and when checked the car, the driver side head light wouldn’t pop out, the driver seat had wear, there were scratches on and under the body that were not mentioned on the ad on Ebay. The total selling price was $18,500 including shipping. The Seller promised that he will fix all problems and then ship the car and that I should receive the car by November 15 and the title and warranty papers should arrive within a week. I have the promisery note from Mr. Ramin in black and white. After that I came back to PA and kept calling Mr. Ramin and Mr. Kam to inquire when the car going to be shipped. They kept telling me that it will be shipped within a few days because they are waiting for the headlight motor. Time went by and after calling then several times, the car was shipped and arrived in PA on December 2. I filed a complaint with PayPal about this delay and the seller warned me that if I didn’t take the complaint back, he will hold the car and won’t release. He had already got $18,290 in the form of bank loan check and $500 deposit money from my PayPal account.
The car upon arrival, had deep underbody scratches and the headlight was not fixed. Additionally, the advertised mileage was 72,000 miles, upon arrival it had 73,000 miles. Upon inspection car had better tires but when it arrived, it had worn out tires and it can’t even pass the inspection. I called seller many times and left voice messages but he never returned my calls. I don’t have warranty papers, title and the car needs things fixed. I am pretty upset. I contacted Ebay motors many times and sent messages but didn’t get any help. When I was checking this vehicle on Ebay, it said clearly on the page that this vehicle is protected upto $20,000 by Ebay. But now Ebay is not helping to resolve this issue. I am going to report this issue to Better Business Burea and to Consumer Affairs.
Please help and advise.
Thank you,
Shah
