Angry Freakin Ebay!!!

Well, I bought some Denali wheels off of Ebay and was grossly misinformed by the seller. The seller stated " they are in good condition with only minor blemishes and are polished." What a total lie. First off, the wheels are not polish finish, they are the machined finish. No biggie!! Second, minor blemishes!??! WTF! All but one has some nasty curb rash. He had pictures up and obliviously he took a picture of the one wheel that was in good shape. The three wheels that are in bad shape have some nasty "rust" on the inner side. How does aluminum rust?? Anyways, they look like he totalled his truck and had them repaired.

Stuff like this really makes me Why are some people so freakin' dishonest? The ol' lady told me to email him back and tell him I want my money back. Yeah, like he's gonna do that! WTF am I suppose to do. I guess I can tell Ebay about it, but what else? Anyone have any good ideas.

Where does the guy live? If he's near by, you could call the cops for misleading or false advertising, I think.

If you paid through paypal, I believe you can dispute it. Other than that I think your only real recourse if legal action which may not be worth it.
Sorry to hear about that man

Yea man, I've paid too much for crap on ebay that didn't live up to the description...really burns you up. I guess you could leave a negative feedback or try to contact the seller and tell him that you don't want the stuff. Either way, it just sucks.

I know. I just talked to my dad and he made some logical remarks about it. Maybe that guy thought they were in good condition, they're not out of round or anything. I'm just pissed that he didn't disclose a few details, which would have made my decision. My dad told me to talk to the guy and see what kind of person he is and go from there. Three of the wheels have got my bugged though. The inner part of the rim, where the tire mounts against the inner lip, look like they've been re-welded. The one good wheel is not like that. I'm gonna go by a wheel repair shop and get an opinion on whether they are repaired or not. I might just have to deal with it and take as a lesson learned.
