[Milsurplus] All Customers of Harris RF-5800U-MP Falcon II Radios - Send Seller Strikes

[DeWitt Clay]

Did the "seller" of these radios send you a request to pay by paypal after doing 
the refunds? I've had a seller do this on some of my purchases. These sellers 
are trying to avoid paying the ebay fees. The seller will try to cancel the 
auction, send you a refund if you've already gone thru ebay checkout, and then 
send a payment request directly from paypal. These type of transactions might be 
ok or might be a scam. I've talked to paypal about it and been told these 
sellers are just trying to avoid paying ebay fees but no action was taken 
against the seller far as I know.

Send Seller Strikes

Attention all group members who hit the buy-it-now button on the original 
actions of the Harris RF-5800U-MP Falcon Radios:
 
 The seller ocdepot.04 in the auction below actually had 5 radios with original 
buy-it-now auctions. In my discussion with another of his customers who also had 
his sale cancelled, Our best option is to Issue Seller Strikes for each 
cancelled purchase for seller non-performance. One needs to come from each 
customer. These can be initiated through E-Bay Live Help. First under the seller 
request to cancel the transaction, refuse to agree . This communicates to the 
seller that you do not agree to cancelling the transaction. Even with his refund 
of your money, initiate a seller strike for non delivery of the radio. (If he 
did decide to honor his original commitment, he'd send you another request for 
payment). We need to have a minimum of 4 seller strikes issued by customers to 
cause E-Bay to put the seller on probation or delist. 

 
Note that seller strkes are different than negative feedback. This seller needs 
to get both.
 
I have located the customers of 3 of the radios, Please help me find the other 
guys who had their auctions cancelled after winning with buy-it-now and have 
them issue seller strikes and then if no satisfaction the negative feedback. 
Ebay Seller ocdepot.04 should not get away with this unscathed.
 
Thanks for your support!
