BTW, love the photo – which must be the view from your river house. Fantastic! Can’t wait to hear more about the river house and see pics of the finished product.
IMHO you could get the $300 for it. I’ve only sold a few rugs but I think the profit you’re looking for is there. However, you can find rugs for much cheaper at yard sales and auctions. We’ve picked up woolen Pier One and Pottery Barn rugs for $15.
Filed a mail fraud case today and sent this to the buyer via ebay messaging:
According to Wikipedia mail fraud is “In the United States, mail and wire fraud is any fraudulent scheme to intentionally deprive another of property or honest services via mail or wire communication. It has been a federal crime in the United States since 1872.”
Therefore I have filed a Mail Fraud case against you with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and I imagine that they will be in contact with you.
@Gopmpers – $9.22 was just what we paid for his “return” shipping. Oh no, we will not be happy unless we win this, and every cent is kept or restored. Last night he replied to my two messages with two denials so I’m going to look into opening that mail fraud case today. I’ll post any updates here.
Just got off the phone with ebay. They said I have to wait 6 days to see how this plays out but then I will have 30 days to appeal. I did send another message to the buyer and mentioned mail fraud, and that he could close the case….. I still want the $9.22 that we paid to have it shipped. Grrrrr
Wow. Well, I’ll give him a couple days to rectify the situation and then contact usps and ebay. Thanks everyone!
Wow, this is surprising. Yes, it was insured both with Priority Mail and with shipsaver.
He paid $230 for the item so… pretty high priced. If he doesn’t fess up I guess I could threaten with usps mail fraud claim. I never knew they would get involved in this sort of thing. Thanks!
Moths, lots of moths! Which means lots of damage probably occurring. Yikes
@Retro – Yeah, I did send a nice message about how he mistakenly sent back the wrong item, included 4 photos, that was last night. I reported him to ebay and blocked him. Thanks for the usps link!
There were lots of little identifying marks/numbers and I have the photos, but he could always say that we have another one and that he sent the right one back…. or am I being paranoid?
I bought a light box from amazon and still have dark pictures. Have to lighten each one in my listings which is very time-consuming.
Yay, finally sold that old “oriental” rug. I hope it doesn’t get returned, but it is very distressed. Someone in Brooklyn bought it. Got it at the auction for $85 and sold for $400. I had many lower offers on this rug, and some others we have listed don’t get any attention. I guess this one was special in some way. I put Bidjar in the title after someone messaged me about that on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/112180025766
