Bill Kelliher is not a household name but he is the guitarist for Mastodon.
Apparently the guy was ripped off to the tune of $1275 by a kid in Germany. A guitar was purchased and when the boy asked to return it Ebay refunded him his money, yet the boy only returned an empty box.
Kelliher turned to Facebook to rant writing:
'hey everyone and Merry Christmas, this is Bill from the band, i recently sold a guitar on Ebay to a kid in Germany. now long story short, he didn't like the guitar so asked for a refund. i gladly said 'send the item back and i will give you a refund' well he opened a case and somehow Ebay Germany decided in his favor and refunded his money $1275 , WITHOUT EVER SENDING THE ITEM BACK!!!!!! i'm not interested in hearing any shit talk about ebay or Germans. it's really just the PRINCIPAL that i'm fighting for. to not let these things just go. maybe someday you will be in the same situation and be able to DO something about it. so please post only if you can help. believe me i have called Ebay, Paypal,German Ebay.you just get shuffled around and NO ONE wants to take the time to hear or see the evidence that i have about this petty shit. thanks for your time and help'
OK what does he want us to do? Considering he has the kids name and address I say he post it and we all go to his house and ask nicely for the guitar. I personally think this was an honest mistake…
