Hey everyone,

I've been keeping busy the last few months, so I haven't been posting as much.

I recently bought up a shitload of RAM from a member on Ebay. Everything seemed to be great after the RAM arrived, but I discovered that one stick was defective and I politely asked them to replace the stick, or refund me the value of the RAM.

Four weeks later and I'm still getting the "sorry sir, we made a grave mistake and have sent a replacement...." Blah, blah, blah!

Correspondence started originally with a North American named Bradley (flawless written communication) and now the minions that are communicating with me aren't of this land.

What would you guy/gals do? The ebayer has a good rep, despite a few negatives and I don't want to deal with the hassle anymore -- yet I would still like to recieve the gig of RAM I'm still out. All told I ordered 4 x 1gb sticks at $45 each (CDN).

I've never opened a dispute, so I would love to hear the best way to get what I ordered back (Ebay, paypal, etc?)

Thanks,
IMH

Just open the dispute. Hopefully you've been communicating through ebay already so there is a record of the correspondence.

Don't know the currency conversion rate for CDN, but $45/gig sounds pretty high. I've seen DDR3 for as low as (US)$10/gig on Newegg and TigerDirect.
 
File a Paypal dispute and go through the process. It's a PITA but you'll get your money back or a replacement.
 
Thanks guys. I've communicated through Ebay the whole time. I filed an Ebay dispute just now, with a message to the seller indicating I will be starting a Paypal dispute by the end of the day.

@DanWesson: The RAM is for a Dell D600 (old school), which I think makes the cost at more of a premium. Newegg and others generally charge $40 - $75 plus shipping.

We'll see how this goes. :D
 
DEFINITELY open a Paypal dispute, 9 times out of 10 you'll recieve your money back or a replacement, Often speeds up the seller too ;)
