What a Monday!

Okay. I am officially an idiot. I found an auction on RBA for rare orp chicks in March. I was a little leery since they stated the chicks would be shipping at 2 weeks old at the end of April. However, many people were bidding and their feedback was good. I won the auction for an unbelievable amount of money--more than I've ever spent on birds.

I emailed two weeks ago asking for an anticipated hatch date, knowing the time limitations were about to end for me to be able to ask for a refund through Paypal. Instead of a date, I got a long email about the storms ruining all of the eggs and he was behind. I knew the weather there had been bad, so I gave it until today. I emailed this morning asking for a hatch date and anticipated hatch date that was acceptable or a refund. After many emails back and forth--his ship date was now end of May which I said would be too hot, then he said he'd ship them next week but they wouldn't be old enough (to which I responded that it was still going to be hot and they wouldn't meet the 6 oz size requirements for shipping and now I'm convinced these are excuses to get away with theft). His final email said he was blocking my email, but for me to let him know a date to ship them and give him a week's notice. I tried several times to be clear that I would love the birds, but I would rather have a refund than him send birds that will die in transit. *sigh*

So now, I don't have a way to say "JUST SHIP THE STINKIN BIRDS" because he says he's blocked my email and when I try to message him through our transaction on RBA, it won't let me message him I'm assuming because the transaction is several weeks old.

Total monetary loss and I've had to listen to an unprofessional scammer idiot rant all day.

I need that big bucket of strawberry wine!

Chickenbelle ~ if you paid through PayPal and he hasn't held up his end of the bargain, you should be able to have them facilitate the refund. Also, if you paid with a credit card, many times they will help you with a refund as well. People like this make me furious!

I used RBA to auction some silkie/showgirl chicks once, and it was a nightmare. I lost one of the showgirl chicks I was supposed to send her, so I told her I would replace it as soon as I hatched some more. It was late fall, so I told her to get back with me in the spring because they had stopped laying. The site never forwarded me the messages that the buyer sent me. Once I finally got back on the site to read them, she had been trying to contact me for months. Then they wanted to charge me $5 to respond to the old messages. The poor woman thought I had been ignoring her for months, when in reality I just never got the messages. I got a poor feedback due to it which I was really upset about. I would never intentionally hide from someone like that! I won't be selling anything else on there that's for sure!

If I were you I would contact Paypal and ask them to grant you a refund. I usually use my American Express for online purchases (even through paypal), and they never give me any problems when I tell them that a transaction needs to be canceled. Sorry you had such a bad experience. I'm not a fan of that site.
