I know this is kind of off the subject but it has to due with a scuba shop and I thought I might get some recommendations on how to deal with my problem. I recently purchased a Aeris 300G off eBAY for $262.95. The seller who also has a store front and a online store had sent the item to my old address as I had bought a pair of fins from them in the past. I had emailed them my new address since I moved and eBAY also sent the new address, it was even on the money order and envelope and they still sent it to the wrong address. When I had not received the package I emailed them and found out that it was sent to my old address from the tracking number. They said they would put a trace on it and I should have it in 2 to 3 days. They suggested they charge me again and they would send another one and when they got the one back they would refund my money. I asked why they had to charge me and they said because I might have gone and got the item. I thought this was pretty ridiculous for them to make an accusation like this when they were the ones who messed up. Ticked off, I asked that they just send my money back. Still they said they could not until UPS confirmed they had the package back. They guaranteed I would have my money back within 2 1/2 weeks which passed the middle of last week. I emailed them on Thursday and said they needed to send my money back. They have still not replied so I filled out a form for eBAY's fraud protection and left negative feedback for them. UPS contacted me tonight since this was the second trace put on the package and they still have not got the package. If they do not send my money back is there any other recommended course of action I should take. I would also like to know if you think my current actions have been called for or do any of you think that I should have to wait till they get the package back. I have not listed the dealer because I don't know if that would open me up to any legal actions. They received my money order on 5-20-02. I was also curious if I might have any course of action through USPS as that is who I purchased the money order through.
Thanks
