What has happened to 2 Major online selling sites

Some fricking idiot who happened to have same name as I do sold a bunch of old NES games on the finnish version of Ebay (huuto.net). Of course, the git didn't deliver and the next thing I got an angry call from the mom of the kid who had bought the games. I explained that it wasn't me and that eventho there's only 5.5 million peeps in Finland it just might be possible that someone has the same name as I do.

We let it go at that, until she called me again the next day with the same whine whine whine. I explained again how I haven't owned a NES in years let alone would have many games to sell. She said that they have my bank account number they paid the money to and would contact police. At this point I was rather pissed (was at work then and really had no time for her BS), so I "kindly" said to her to call to the ****ing bank and ask if they could get the sellers phone number or something as she's yelling at the wrong guy. She hung up.

The next day, I get a call from the local police, asking me to come over. I quered if this had something to do with a scam on Huuto.net and sure it was. I told the nice policeman what I told the bitch, check bank for the contact information of the other git and if they still get my phone number, I'm willing to confess the murder of Olof Palme too. Fortunately, I didn't have to go over to th station and the police said that he'll look into it, but that I should be in reach just in case.

Well, haven't heard from them since. Would not have minded an apology call from the ****, she weren't very nice nor polite to me.

I haven't had any problems with amazon but I rarely buy stuff from them.. But I quit Ebay years ago.. They change there policies back in the earlier 2000s and It violated our original agreements. I didn't like the path there where heading so I refused to accept the new conditions.

I've heard it got worse over the years...

I didn't get mad, I got even. Well better than even.

I contacted Visa and cancelled payment.

I then contacted seller and told him I cancelled order as it's been 7 days with no shipping notice and his ad states "Ships within 24 hrs"

Immediately I get a email that item has been shipped.

Right.

I responded ... Good for you but, a little to late.

I got emails from Ebay and PayPal with contact ph#'s

After talking with both they saw it my way and asked me to send it back to Seller.

I said sure as soon as he sends me a prepaid shipping envelope.

edit: He has 7 days to do it too.
