Default Very disturbing ebay experience. long story.

so i purchased a catalytic converter off ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

i paid immediately. the item came in a week later, but the problem was that they sent me the wrong part. no biggie. i email them about the problem (using the email address they provided ebay). one week, no answer, so i sent them another email. I also logged on to ebay and sent them a 3rd email through ebay. The next day, I thought it'd be easier to call them, so using the number they advertise on their auction, I give them a call. *tap, tap, tap* no answer after 15 rings. I call them the following day early in the morning. same result.

Ok, so they're not responding. i file a dispute with paypal. 2 weeks go by, and today I receive a phone call (it's the seller). he asked to speak to me, i said this is he.. he starts out with "If you have a fuck'n problem, why don't you call us you fuck'n cocksucker!" ..what in the ???? i proceed to tell him that i did call them. "No you didn't cocksucker, i'm by the phone ALL the time" what's with the profanity?? he then asks what time is it in cali. i said 2pm, he said it's 4pm over in tennessee. "Did you think of the fuck'n time difference, cocksucker?!" i told him that the profanity isn't helping anything. there's too much censorship needed for his reply. I told him that i called him 1:55 pm my time (i kept a log), and i called him 9:50 am the following day. response: "You know what time that is? that's lunch time, we're fuck'n closed at lunch you fuck'n chink!"... so much for being by the phone "ALL" the time. he continued on sayin how his daddy probably killed my relatives in Vietnam or China and that i should come over to tennesse so i can experience what his daddy did to my relatives. he asked which of the country's i'm from. i said neither.. he gets a F- on customer service, but i told him that sucks at being a racist too. I hung up after that.

a few minutes later, i got an email from paypal notifying me that i won and will issued a full refund after i send the item back to the seller..
