MASTODON Guitarist Claims That He Was Victim Of Online Auction Scam
Guitarist Bill Kelliher of Atlanta progressive metallers MASTODON has posted the following message on the band’s official Facebook page:
“I recently sold a guitar on eBay to a kid in Germany. Now, long story short, he didn’t like the guitar
so asked for a refund. I gladly said, ‘Send the item back and i will
give you a refund. Well, he opened a case [and] somehow eBay Germany decided in his favor and refunded his money, WITHOUT EVER SENDING THE ITEM BACK!!!!!! Real cool, eBay. So when I opened an appeal to the decision, they asked him to send the
item to me. He sent me an empty box!!! And I can do nothing now. eBay claims he sent the item back even though I have the receipts showing
when I mailed it to him, it weighed 27 lbs. and when he sent it back, it weighed 11 lbs. They don’t wanna hear it.
“ANY HELP????? Anyone affiliated with eBay Germany???”
