So I bought this squash racket on Ebay for $1.29, plus shipping, from a liquidation company, but the description and picture looked fine. It came damaged, most likely from shipping, since there was a dent in the box. So I called the company, Empire Liquidators, and they said, no worries, send it back and we'll get you a refund.
Soooooo, I send it back and then check up on it in a week or so, and was told that if I left positive feedback I'd get my refund in a day. Read: EXTORTION. I said no, I only leave feedback when the entire transaction is complete and I didn't have a positive experience. No refund, no refund, no refund. Called a week later and was told my refund was processd. Read: LIE. No refund, no refund, no refund. Called again a week later and was told that I need to leave positive feedback for the customer service person to even get my info to even process the refund. Read: BS.
Then I called again and got a helpful lady who said she'd send me a replacement. Fine. She'd go look for another squash racket and call me back. Read: SUCKER. But I'm no sucker. I called again, oh yes, you, I haven't found anything, just a sec. Put on hold. Then hung up on.
That was the last straw. So I filed a complaint with Paypal and Empire Liquidators actually upgraded it to a claim. I get an email from Paypal saying they are looking into it, but haven't heard anything for a while so I checked online and got the response to my claim from Empire Liquidators:
"This item has not been returned by this customer as of this date. Therefore, a refund or a replacement have not been issued."
Little do those suckers know, I HAVE THE FEDEX RECEIPT THAT SAYS THEY RECEIVED IT! And now I'm filing a complaint with the BBB. I'm so going to win this dispute.
BUYER BEWARE - NEVER BUY FROM EMPIRE LIQUIDATORS!

I have to know the progress of this story! you must win. good MUST triumph over evil. what did ebay say when you told them of the extortion about the positive feedback??? how could that possibly be a requirement for a refund?? if you go on judge judy, you should totally wear a skirt.
