Options you have - 1) Take no action. Your account remains locked, you keep your $$, this sale doesn't proceed, and you can't buy from GP in the future. 2) pay the $1500. This sale doesn't proceed. Your account is reinstated, so you have a chance to do it again. You feel cheated and resent...

Oh, and take screenshots. This has proven very beneficial in the past when dealing with GP. It prevents mysterious disappearances of relevant data...

My first hand experience says it's a losing proposition. Even when you win, you lose. Of course, your speculation trumps my experience... The biggest mistake I see that you made was that you called them before thinking it through. Their rep's position is that you stated an intention not to pay...

While we're wandering off topic: "I'd rather fight it out in court" are the words of someone who has never been to court. At the point it goes to court, it's already a loss. Even when you win, you eat the attorneys fees.... you going to spend $350/hr to fight them over $1500? That won't end...

"According to your story" implies that you think I'm lying. I am offended. Here's the account, including item numbers and responsors from GP''s Operations Manager. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152079-Same-truck-sells-and-then-is-relisted-week-after-week

You know the item number? You know the total amount? You have GPs wire info from previous transactions? What other info is needed?

What would i do? Well, I had a dispute with GL. I'll go find the thread and link it here... What did i do? I told them to FOAD and let my account there remain suspended. Done. Edit - http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?141208-Extremely-Negative-Experience-Jared-at-Ft-Carson-CO...

Relax, I'm not your enemy... And here's a concrete example of how a default hurt me. I was outbid on a truck by a $100 margin. There were only two bids on the truck. The winner defaulted. The truck was relisted- the next time it was much more visible and sold for $2600 more than the first sale...

GPs cost for an inspection is $400. I don't know what their cost is for running the item through auction. If they didn't make default a painful process, it would occur much more frequently than it does. Could GP do a better job? Of course, most especially in the area of customer...

Meaning they hit rock bottom and started to dig....

The mistakes i see here - 1) bidding with credit. 2) calling GP before you thought it through. 3) making emotional statements. Don't tell your bank the card is stolen. Why make a false statement of fact? Have them close it without giving a reason... although GP likely won't charge the card...

It's hit or miss. I've had good experiences, bad experiences, and everything in between. With a large enough sample size, you'll experience it all, pretty much evenly divided across a bell curve. Without jwade to intervene, I'm reluctant to take the risk of bad experiences... had to get him...
