Look Here at the Pink Yuma
Click to expand...

Was that the picture of the Yuma in the auction? I sure in the hell hope not...that is a pic from my tank that I took about a year ago. I have sold plenty of pink yuma's on this forum (babies from the one in the link) and whatever you got, is not a pink yuma. I would say you got the shaft. Can you post a link to the original auction?
 
Well, I was going with the honest mistake theme until Rick pops up with, "that pic is from my tank last year." Hopefully, that was not the pic used for the auction.

I can honestly say that I have never got ripped on Ebay. I'm real picky about Feedback. Better have a min of 100 with less than 1 complaint. That complaint has to be six months old.

For high dollar stuff, I typically approach people here with sound reputations. I'd rather pay top dollar/fair value and KNOW what I'm getting.

I really hope that this was a mistake and not some hack.

Please keep us informed.
 
The seller has still not contacted me. I learned yesterday that someone else bought one from them right after I did and that it has very little color also. They too are having trouble with the seller not contacting them.
 
That s**ks. Are you going through ebay when you try contacting them? If you don't hear something in the next few days you really need to contact ebay commplaint, but you need to make sure that youare trying to contact the seller through ebay, not by email direct. Here is the link for it, though you probably already know it. Ebay will help resolve it. They deal with this type of problem all the time and don't take it lightly. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?InrCreateDispute
 
This thread reminds me of a website I saw the other day. I really can't tell if these photos have been doctored- the ones on the website aren't very clear crisp pictures for some reason.. its like they were saved as a crappy low rez version of the picture.. And yet I also can't believe some of these corals are this color naturally - close maybe - what do you guys think?

yeah i would get on the complaint/ disput with both ebay and paypal...i just recently got screwed over by someone promissing me that it was on its way and that possibly ups lost...after two months i tried to file and to no avail...ebay and paypal wont do anything for after 45 days...now i give two weeks after payment max then file a complaint regarless of what they tell me...wheni get the correct item i will end the dispute and close the clomplaint..like the old says goes screw me once shame on you...screw me twice shame on me...it will NEVER happen to me again..

hope you get this figured out though...and sorted...

but i read through the auction and didnt see where it says Yuma? so you indeed may have gotten a pic ric that has just been severly shocked via poor shipping, handling, temperature..etc..
 
Chrisstie, I have seen that color of Goniopora at an LFS here. It really is that color, although that pic looks like it was shot a 1/3 or 2/3 under.

Can't say on the Yuma. Haven't seen enough of them yet to qualify me for an intelligent opinion.
 
Why does that guy still have positive feedback?? You and the other seller totally need to get in there and mark him down.

Looks like he randomly sells weird stuff here and there and maybe decided to try to make a profit off of something fishy like a nice picture of a yuma that isnt his =\

and for the pics I've posted above- I have seen some gonis close to that color but not.. quite quite that color. if I had enough cash right now i'd have bought what I saw but.. the mushrooms base looks a little not right to me- usually they are somewhat a uniform color underneath- at least the ones i've seen so i dont know why it'd have rainbow splotches on it.. beautiful color aside but.. I don't know something struck me as not quite right with those pics- the site i found it on does have some other very legitimate looking frags though so i was like hmm.. what the?
 
I recieved an email this morning from seller telling me to send it back for a refund. About twelve hours later I get another email stating "sorry no refunds or returns". It's time to take this to ebay.
 
Did he/she say why they changed their mind? Tell them you already sent it out todayper his/her request....LOL
go to ebay and save those emails too, but as another persone said, send your "messages " thru ebay so they have copies of them too.
 
It is also time to leave negative feedback. If you leave negative feedback they will probably offer you a refund if you retract the feedback. If they do, make sure you get your refund BEFORE you retract.
DOES IT SOUND LIKE I WENT THRU THIS BEFORE!!!!!
 
I had the same problem with another company recently. I payed through paypal. They sold me brown zoanthids instead of PPEs. I asked for a refund and they said they would but didn't. I contacted paypal, credit card company, and better business bureau. I also sent him a few nice warnings as well. 5mins later I got an email from paypal stating the company refunded my money. I hope this all works out for you aswell.

Now I know of two other people besides me that were sent Florida rics instead of a Yuma from this seller.. BTW, I just contacted Paypal to get the ball rolling on getting my money back.
