Half.Com purchase gone awry
Please, no "I told you so's" or lectures on "buyer beware"!!! I recently purchased four text books on Half.Com on 08/19/06. These four texts were ordered from different sellers. Two of these purchases arrived ahead of schedule and were exactly how they were described. The other two books were never sent. Since these purchases were made these two fraudulent sellers have become 'no longer registered users'. I tried submitting a claim 10 days ago but was locked out of doing this by Half.Com because insufficient time had passed. Today makes the last day of the 'blackout' period and I go to file a claim and see these two statements on Half.Com:

That seems like a scheme to make sellers look better than they really are. I guess you have to limit purchases on that site to once a month at most. I'll continue to stay away.

Sounds like things went as planned. Half.com (i.e. you get HALF of what you thought you were purchasing...)

No, I have no previous experience similar to this. Thank you for letting us know to stay away from Half.com I would report them to the BBB or some agency of the sort. Sounds like a formal complaint is what they deserve. If enough complaints are lodged I believe they will be investigated.

Do the chargeback. Half needs to discipline the sellers. I have used Amazon vendors 5-6 times, without problem.
