I got F***ed on EBAY seats

So I found these seats on EBAY from a WRX. States in the description, front driver and passenger seats and rear seat for $250. I was stoked, that is an amazing deal on seats that looked perfect in the pics. It was a buy it now deal so I did it after seeing the seller had 100% feedback. That was thursday night, friday I send an email to come and pick up the seats on the following day, no response. Next morning I wake up and still no response. So I find the guys number from his EBAY store and call him up, goes to voice mail, so I leave a message. Later that night I email again, still no response. Sunday, I wake up go to meet a guy way up north to pick up some Forester XT wheels, get home and plan on painting and mounting them. I go to the parts store and get some wheel paint, and I get a call from the seat guy, he asks me if I can come pick up the seats before 5:00, by this time it is 3:45 and its up north where I just came from. I say sure since its right outside of battleground. I get in the car and drive for an hour and I get to his little dinky pole barn he calls an auto body shop. I call him up and tell him I am there and he tells me he is on his way he is 5 min away. 15 min later he drives up, opens the shop and grabs a ladder and climbs up to get the seats off the shelf. This whole time I am thinking this is kinda sketchy and just hope that the seats are what they are supposed to be. He hands me down the seat wrapped in plastic, I pull the plastic back and see a perfect drivers side WRX seat and I relax and think, "yes its not a deal too good to be true." He then hands me the second seat, and I pull back the plastic and see another perfect DRIVER'S SEAT! I tell him this isnt going to work and he tries to talk me into taking one driver's seat and the rear seat. I just stare at him with a "are you FUCKING stupid?" stare. Then he tries to get me to just take the rear seat, and I tell him thats not going to work either. Then he tries to ask me if there is anything else I need, I say "got any right side WRX seats?" and he laughs like I am joking. Well to not make my long ranting story any longer, I have a dispute with paypal right now to get my money back as I did not take anything from him. I was really looking forward to those seats damn it.

Did you tell him I am not interested and I would like a refund? That really sucks, and isn't the rear a bench seat? Should have took them, you can problem sell those driver seats to people who ripped theres.

What a D-Bag. Always pay with credit card so you can get your money back. That or with a bank acount because I believe paypal will refund you you money if you use a bank acount but for some reason not a debit card.

yea, you probably STILL could have taken the seats and sold the extra driver seat for a profit, and bought a passenger seat for 50-100. I got My driver and passenger seats for $120, almost literally mint condition locally. The rear seat was the in the "Radio Flyer" when I bought that and kept it for this car.

I can definately see where your coming from though, you want what you paid for. Post a negative feedback, and hopefully paypal will give your money back. Not much else you can do really...

Well, I have gotten a refund from paypal so I guess im just out the time of driving up there. I didnt take the seats because then I wouldnt know how the refund would work. He could of just said "yea he took the seats why should I give him any money" I just wanted my money back so I could use it toward something else, and who knows how long it would have taken me to find a good passenger only seat that matched.
