Meridian Bicycle Works 2001 Quest 1.4

Price Paid:  $747.00 at Ebay from Meridian B

Favorite Ride:
Monster Cruiser

Summary:
I recently bought a bike from this company at an Ebay auction. The site demanded payment within 48 hours. This was a 747.00 bike, I made a 500.00 paypal payment within a few hours. I then called and asked Jim Leis if I could make the next payment 1 day beyond the 48 hour deadline. He said fine but he had another buyer who wanted the bike and was willing to pay more. After we hung he emailed and said he was selling to the other person who had offered more. This is a serious Ebay violation and he has been reported. Ebay encourages traders to try and straighten out their differences, I tried to reason with this guy but his greed was too overpowering. He has been reported to Ebay and they are investigating. Ebay will basically do very little since he has his little 48 hour loop hole. Because he accepted my payment and then refunded it, my 500.00 was tied up for 7 days. This is a very disappointing and dishonest person to deal with. Be very careful when dealing with jim leis, I think he's a crook and a liar and can't be trusted.
