I am a seller on Half.com and ebay not one of those scam sellers but a real seller and have been for 4 years. Back in August of 2006 Half.com had suspended my account for no "abusing ebay" I had listed my international editions on ebay which is allowed and my USA edition on half.com and then they suspended my account for getting chargebacks even when I supplied them with delviery confirmation numbers that showed the item was delivered.

After the suspension they said I would get my money after 90 days since that was the time customers have to file for claim but then 90 came and went and still no money and after 90 I still kept getting returns from customers. because half.com sold thousands of books which I did not have of USA editions back in August 16-22nd because of their email problem. I could not email the customers since I was suspended.

It is Jan 4th and still no money finally got a email and said "you must be inactive for 14 days to get money" But it is half.com that keeps accepting returns after 90 days that is making my account active with returns!!!
HAlf is a terrible customer cervice company.
They keep saying it is half policy that they must follow but then they are not following half policy by taking returns after 90 days?

I have filed complaint with BBB and didnt help, now with San Jose DA office still waiting. They said ebay has till Jan 8th to reply.

Contact your local State Senator and CA Governor

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, February 17, 2007

TODAY IS Februry 18th 2007 still no money
They said that I have to wait another 4-6 weeks to get a Check in the mail. My direct deposit that has worked fine for 4 years was "unsuccessful" so a check would need to be sent.

But I got another return today not in the original condition it was sent since it was 6 months ago. So I dont know when I will get my money.

BBB has been no help but you should still file a complaint Santa Clara office you should still file a complaint

My State Senator has contacted the Federal Trade Commission on my behalf. I am hoping maybe the Fair Trade Commission is next.

California State Senators
http://www.sen.ca.gov/
do not contact the US senators but your local State Senators

go to google and type in your state Senator

I am now sending a letter to the Governor of California. Everyone with a similar situation should do all the above.

I got this email:
Thank you for emailing the Governor's Office regarding your need for assistance. Due to the sensitivity of your issue, the Governor's Office must receive a detailed letter in writing requesting our help. If you have not already done so, please send a letter that provides all pertinent information, such as: return address, telephone number, case/claim number and additional material important for the review process, including your signature.

Please address your letter to the Governor and send your letter by fax to (916) 445-4633 or by mail to the following address:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814

Again, the Governor is deeply committed to Californians, such as yourself, and looks forward to providing any assistance possible.

Sincerely,

Office of Constituent Affairs

contact me with any questions XXXXXXXXX@yahoo.com

Feb 1st and still no money and "two weeks inactive"

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, January 31, 2007

I have now been "inactive for two weeks" according to website but still no money.
They have been telling the BBB, Santa Clara District Attorney Office and me that I must be inactive for two weeks in order to get my money. Still no money. They keep lying to everyone they talk to. I would not be surprised if a "return" appears in the next day or so so they can hold the money for another month.
