It seems like proving anything in the legal system is impossible for me.
I've tried the legal system a few times.
The police always loose the police report. The police say that even if the
person is caught with my property, I have no way to prove that they stole it
or that they knew that the property was stolen.
For trespassing the judge states "trespassing is only a misdemeanor". If the
person is receiving an mental SSI check and doesn't work then they can't be
held accountable for their actions.
The legal system never seemed to work for me.
I keep some dogs that bark a lot and that seems to work best for me.

Ebay has a lot of good people on it....and it has alot of bad ones too.
One of the big problems with sellers is that buyers let them get away
with it.
A completed auction is a contract...and enforceable under law.
Defrauding a buyer is just that...fraud...and depending on the amount
involved is a felony if prosecuted.
Anyone who have tried to cheat me (and there have been very few) become
my personal project in seeing to it that they are held responsible for
their obiligations.
As for shipping broken equipment, that is a tough call. All the
shippers at one time or another have really bad days with your packages
taking the brunt of it. What distrubs me is when they try to wiggle out
of the insurance claims....and again contract law is your friend. Small
claims court is the first step and if the amount is high enough, fraud
carries a felony penalty.
In regards to one out of three items of yours that a seller had sold,
he was selling stolen property since the merchandise was legally yours.
I would have made that fact very clear and if he did not make the
situation good to my satisfaction, my next stop would have been the
local police department to file a stolen property report.

I purchased an Olympus microscope and emailed the seller everyday asking
if
he had shipped my microscope. He never answered my emails so after 10
days,
I filed a PayPal complaint. Almost right away the seller emailed me and
said
he had the flu. The other people that purchased items the same day got
their
items and left positive feedback. I know the seller is full of it so I'm
not
going to answer his emails. He didn't answer mine.
I sometimes sell a few items on eBay and people have started asking to
remove a parts and sell the parts to them. They say that the buyer will
never notice the missing parts. They make statements like "I can be very
persistent".
I purchased 3 items and drove 100 miles to pick the items up. The seller
said he only had two of the three items because someone made him an offer
he
couldn't refuse.
One of the eBay sellers favorite money makers is to sell an item with a
picture of an item that is not broken. They send the buyer a broken item.
Then they can file an insurance claim and make good money.
I used to like eBay.
eBay used to not be so bad. Why is eBay getting so corrupt?
