Fraudulent Seller and No One from EBAY will respond to me
                 

I am writing as a deeply frustrated customer who has been completely failed by eBay's customer service process.

I purchased a DJ set from seller fer-7252. The seller's account is now inactive, they have not responded to any of my messages, and the system will not allow me to cancel the order. This is textbook fraud.

I have done everything eBay asks of customers in this situation:

  • Filed 4 separate complaints through eBay Customer Service — zero responses
  • Called 866-540-3229 over 20 times — it is effectively impossible to reach a live representative
  • Sent multiple messages to the seller — no reply

At this point I have been ignored at every channel. There is no path to resolution, no refund, no acknowledgment, and no human contact. For a platform of eBay's size, this level of customer service is unacceptable.

What I am demanding:

  1. A full refund for the fraudulent transaction
  2. Immediate review and action against seller fer-7252
  3. Confirmation in writing that this case is being handled

If I do not receive a response within 5 business days, I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov), the California Attorney General's Office, and disputing the charge directly with my credit card issuer.

I expect a prompt response.

Sincerely, Josh Taekman jmtaekman@mac.com
