Okay with xbox 360 frinzy calming down a little I had decided to check into and maybe even purchase one for my husband and son. That said I set off to find a good deal being the bargain shopper I am. Now I did have limited means of money ... limited meaning borrowing from good old mom and dad sadly. None the less I did find a good bundle (or so I thought) it was listed as xbox 360 mega bundle, Wow 4 games, 2 controllers .... ect. you get the idea. So it had like 2 minutes left to bid. Now mind you this was found doing a search for xbox 360 premium ,... under systems... I won the auction and my husband was so excited. I ran my butt off on Monday borrowing the money to pay for this. I emailed the guy telling him what 4 games i wanted added from his list. I paid him yesterday once the money was in my checking account and then I happened to notice one small detail. Upon close examination of the listing it was questionable weither or not an xbox was really included. OMG how could I be such a moron! I stayed up crying for over 3 hours straight and do believe I called myself every obscene name in the book for being such an idiot. So I calmed myself and emailed the guy. Turns out I am an idiot. However this guy tried to make me a very unusual offer. He offered to send me a xbox Core unit with one game and my option of an additional controller, memory card, or overnight shipping. Now The amount I paid was $640.00 ... does he think I'm an idiot?? Okay well I am, but I mean not twice on the same deal!!! Anyhow I was finally just like ,, hey could you just refund me my money minus $20.43 you incurred on paypal transfer fees ( since he made such a big deal about that) Well he replied that he would refund my money, but it would cost me $62.00 and some odd cents.
So I called paypal and talked with a rep who told me that wasn't allowed and also said I had to wait 4 days to give him time to refund the money she also told me to reply to him stating I was requesting my money in full and that paypal does not allow sellers to charge buyers for any fees incurred on their account. I did everything she said and apologized once more for my arrogance on the matter. Am I doing the right thing? I feel like and idiot, but the lady from paypal told me flat out that his auction was set up very tricky and misleading. When I checked his feedback responses for similar auctions it turns out I don't think I'm the only one who has been mislead, with exception I think others have went with his xbox and one game deal and been happy to just receive an xbox. Is it just me? or do you all think I'm doing the right thing? I think this guy is a total rip off.
