I did contact ebay. Their response was that I entered a binding contract to purchase said item under the Buy It Now option and that I was obligated to pay. They also informed me that the seller was the only person that could release me from the contract. I agree that since I didn't give them my credit card number and they haven't sent the product I am in no way obligated to pay for it. Ebay also said the seller can choose any means they deem to collect on a debt. A debt I feel never existed in the first place. I asked the collection agency for valadation and they sent me a copy of an automated email titled "Congradulations! This item was puschased instantly using Buy It Now." It listed the item name and number, final price, seller ID and email, and bidder ID (me) and my email. That's it. Some contract. I intend on sending a C&D letter to the collection agency. I've even tried emailing the seller directly to handle this but my email was returned MAILER-DAEMON. I don't know of any other way of contacting the seller other than through ebay. Doesn't the CA have to give me the creditor's name, address, and number? I explained to the CA over the phone that this is no different than if I were to walk into a Sears Dept. store, picked out a sweater, took it to the checkout counter only for them to tell me they didn't accept my form of payment. I asked him if he thought Sears would send the matter to a CA and he said no. I said well there have you it. The CA still insist I owe a debt because they believe I said I would pay for it first and then the seller would send the product. I guess what I'm wondering is if there is a specific law pertaining to having to recieve services or product in order to be indebted to someone.
