This is the sad story of a 6gc'er who thought selling his car on ebay was a grate idea... well, i was wrong!!!! please let me know what your thoughts are on the matter at hand and what i should do...
This guy (buyer) has locked up my paypal and my ebay acct!!! mad.gif Some one please help me!!! frown.gif
The following is how the ordeal went down and is what i submited to paypal as my stament...

Back on Apr. 14, 2008 Rusland (buyer) put a deposit down of $500 USD to purchase the 1994 Toyota Celica shortly there after the remaining amount of $7,397.42 USD was sent. Buyer then asked me to “help” ship the car to New York. I made no promise that the car would be shipped to buyer by a set date as the auto transport serves we were using had no pick up date because they were all booked. Buyer insisted that the car be in New York city by the 5/4/08. Buyer needs to understand conditions as stated in the auction (buyer arrange shipment seller is not responsible for shipping.) I helped buyer as much as possible and had the car delivered to a drop off lot in North Miami were it would be shipped by auto transport serves. Buyer then contacted me5/1/08 at 3:00 am and stated that he would be flying into Ft Lauderdale FL on 5/2/08 to pick up the car. I explained to buyer that the car has already been dropped off at shipping lot, and that I work that day and would need more time to plan ahead. Buyer insisted that I pickup car and meet him on 5/2/08 10am. I had car redelivered to the shop were it was being stored before and meet buyer on 5/2/08 at 12:30 pm and went over the car. Buyer then asked if he could also have my tag to drive car home. Advise buyer to purchase his own tag. Buyer then told me that “he could not drive car home because he did not have a tag or enough time.” (time was 1:45 pm, we only meet for about an hour) Buyer them became upset and demanded that I fix all the imperfection (listed below) or he was going to leave car with me and charge back my pay pal account. Advised buyer I would help pay to have imperfections repaired and to take car with him. Buyer said he had no time for me to fix imperfections and demanded me to pay him his money back and told me to resell the car. Explained to buyer again that the car is his and that the minor imperfections do not exceed $300. Buyer then left the car behind witch forced me to put car back into storage and I will be charging buyer $15 storage fee per day as I have no were to store the car but at the shop. All photos on eBay are accurate. The only one that is different is steering wheel photo because cover was removed and it is now black.

The car does have a small leak at top of windshield that I was unaware of, I repaired it with new molding.
Buyer complained that the windshield washers fluid did not work. I added washer fluid, washers work fine.
I also reinstalled the passenger seat bolt which customer requested .
The steering wheel cover I am unable to replace at this time it, was removed at the detail shop when the car was being cleaned. It is now black and not red.
Engine in car is good, it’s a 15 year old car with 230,000 miles and runs as it should for a car this age/mileage. as stated in auction “every thing on the car works.”
