N8LUV James McClellan bad dealings on Ebay

Post by n4dek »

Be warned if you do any business with N8LUV James McClellan as he is a pure born again thief. I won the bid for a 706MKIIG from him on Ebay and sent him $610 but he never sent the radio. Payment was made on 12/10/06 and as of today 01/24/07 I have received nothing from him. I filed a non-receipt claim with pay-pal and they did recover $175 but that was all his account had in it so they could not recover the rest. I have sent him many emails and none have been answered so far. Hopefully pay-pal has his checking account locked so that he has no option but to return the rest of my money.

Well since you know him so well maybe you could contact him because he refuses to answer my emails or phone calls.

Don't take me wrong, I am not stating you may or may not have a problem with him, I am simply stating to investigate before condemning him. I do not know him personally, however I have seen him around via other transactions and never seen a problem with him.

I emailed you before, it happened to me one time and I was really pissed only to find the seller was admitted the hospital after a heart attack. I told him get better first then worry about a radio I bought from him. Soon after he sent the radio and everything was fine along with a very apologetic letter.

I am still one of the few that trust people and look for the better in them and all I am saying is investigate if he is OK first..

Grant it if he is OK and is ripping you off , do what you can to make it known however if he is not returning or answering with NO email or NO phone calls , I doubt he is OK or had to temporarily leave his home for some type emergency.

I just went to Google.com and typed in his call. He has a positive track record.

I hope it all works out for you.
