I won an auction on e-bay for a raptor30 v,1 wrecked and not flying I payed Eric Gaines via pay-pal as soon as the auction was over and he never shipped it to me. That was on June 4th and still know response. I talked to him a few days after auction and he said it did not meet his reserve it was a no reserve auction. I am going to be in his area in a few days and will be suing him for breach of contract and internet fraud.
He did not respond to E-bay or mediation. Any information on this individual will be appreciated and I hope to see that he does not treat any one else like he did me.

refund

As it turns out I got a refund from pay-pal on the deal today. It sure is frustrating to do business with this kind of person. He hung me and my money up for over a month. If he didn't want to do the deal or wanted more money or what ever all he had to do was respond and he wouldn't Even do that. He set my training back about a month. Kept my money in his account for a month or more and thinks nothing is going to happen, He is about to get a surprise. I am still going to sue him. My wife and I spend some time in linden each summer and that's pretty close so he will be getting a visit from the process server.

not coincidense

Rotospyco it is not coincidence I never said it was but it is time for me to do something about this. I usually am a little more aggressive and don't let things take this long. I gave this guy every chance and in the end I am the one that got screwed for doing the right thing and believing that a mans word is his bond and a contract is a contract. I also belive in standing up for myself which is why he will see me in Utah.

I realize that, I was refering to you saying you were going to track him down....he most likely is a member of this forum if he's into heli's and prob saw the thread...hence provoking a refund....as I was saying, coincidence? maybe....but prob not....

Rotorspyco, I understand what you meant now and stand corrected. I think your right as he finally responded to mediation. He made a statement that the auction did not meet the $750.oo reserve and he gave me my money back and doesn't plan to do anything else about it. I responded with this.

It was a no reserve auction there was never one set for it. If there had been it would have said reserve not met. It said winning bidder that constitutes a legal contract according to my attorney whom I will be glad to put you in touch with. I contend there never was a reserve. It did not go for as much as you wanted and you decided to back out of the deal. That's why you failed to respond for so long. You did not give me my money back pay-pal refunded it because you failed to upgrade your account to premiere within 35 days and my money was sitting in your account unclaimed.
You did not respond to numerous calls and e-mails all of which I have documented. This is a legal contract which you failed to abide by so I will sue or do what ever it takes to get you to honor this contract. A mans word should be his bond but yours is not. The one time I talked to you on the phone you said you should have put a reserve of $650.00 dollars on it now you are up to 750.00 (I have it all documented)whats up with that?

The ad is still on e-bay people can see there was no reserve right on the ad. The way you worded the the ad it sounds like a $258.00 deal that's all it is worth it is old version .1 it has had a terrible long hard life according to you. On that day it reached it s maximum value nation wide of $238.00 plus shipping of $40.00. There were other people bidding and that is all its worth. So you didn't get what you thought you should have. It certainly not worth more than it was that night a national auction proved it. We have a contract I will send you what I got it for any way you want payment through Pay-Pal or we go to court. I have already started the legal process and unless I receive Payment instructions and shipment of the items I will continue all avenues open to me to get you to honor this contract. I have already purchased parts for it plus the interest on my 302.00 plus my time and legal expenses plus any punitive damages the court sees fit if that's what it gets to then so be it. You had a chance to take care of this amonth ago and you wouldnt evan talk to me shame on you now If we dont get this taken care of I guess we wiil go to court. One last time my number is **********

I don't understand, do you still want the heli? If so, taking him to court sounds like a bad idea as he will probably send it damaged.

This is just me but there is always some risk in online buying and ebay, I would just be happy I got my money back and call it good.

At this point it is a matter of principle. I asked him the third or 4th day after no response from him not to hang me up if he was not going to respond or do the deal to refund me my money and cancel the deal and I would move on. E-Bay would not let me cancel he had to do it.
I finally called him and he said he should have put $650 reserve on it and he would get back to me he never got back to me and blocked my calls so i couldn't call him. I bid in good faith and payed when auction was over by pay-pal. If he wasn't going to honor the contract of the auction he should have been a man and refunded me my money the first week instead of 35 days later after i post on here. Mediation sent me a letter weeks ago saying he would not respond to them and there was nothing more they could do and now after posting on here he responds to them and says this b.s. yea i'm gonna sue and hope others out there who see this take note and don't hang up or cheat any one else. If more of us stood up to this kind of treatment there would be a whole lot less of it going on. If he lived in my hometown I would have resolved this weeks ago so I had to wait until I go to Utah. No I don't need his stuff now my wife felt sorry for me and bought me everything i need see my other post . I have a raptor v.1 (check my Gallery) so at this point his stuff would just be parts. I believe if you are going to make a contract with someone you should live up to it i have never broken a contract even if i had to eat a loss and there have been many but, you be a man do the deal cut your losses and move on so I am standing up for myself on this one.

So far we have only heard one side of this story. You received yoru money back and now you want to take him to court to get that heli? oh please... The court system is already buisy with suits here and there and you want to burdon it even more on a matter of principle? Lets say you you win.. would you want a heli from a a person you sued?
It would be instresting to hear from the other side as I think we may be missing something.

eric gaines

OH i See I am just supposed to let people crap all over me and get away with it. Did you not read the post above where I said I would send payment anyway he wanted it on pay-pal. It is because of people like you that people like him get away with this crap. I learned along time ago in a place called Vinh Long Viet Nam not to let people just screw me and get away with it. What I am trying to do is make a individual live up to a contract one which he held me to for over 35 days by not returning my money when he had the choice to. At this point it is not about the heli but holding an individual accountable for his actions. I wonder how you would feel if it happend to you. I told him to check RR we were talking about him so he has his chance to tell his side of the story if he wants. One thing I will say is every single thing I have written is the truth and is fully documented.
