Ok, here's my story - but forgive me if it gets lengthy, I'm so mad now I could just spit - - Ok, so I bid on this item on ebay -
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=169854292 right?
Ok - I win, I sent a money order, I RECIEVE the item ( this is key here...) So, then I email the guy and thank him and leave him a positive feedback - only to have him respond that he never recieved the payment and that he's gonna leave me a negative feedback if I don't pay up. So - here's my dilemna - I got the box, and everything was fine! So, I tossed my money order receipt, so I have no proof of payment. Great huh? But what I wanna know is this - if I DIDN'T pay, WHY'D HE SEND THE DAMN THING TO ME???
I've been in contact with Safe Harbor about this, and they said this::

So... the negative that he has left me now because I refused to pay TWICE for this thing is FAIR as far as Ebay is concerned. According to them, I should live with this and let my POSITIVES outweigh this negative. To me, that's BULLSHIT. And get this - I can't leave him one back, cause I ALREADY LEFT HIM THAT POSITIVE WHEN I GOT THE PACKAGE FROM HIM! I know, I know - shoulda held onto the receipt for the M.O., but I figured "Why? I have the darn package, I don't need it!"   I advise EVERYONE who reads this to deal with GSAF@aol.com with EXTREME caution! His contact info is this:::
