I've always been skeptical about sending people money through paypal rather then meeting up and getting the prroduct. You guys may know I posted an ad looking for a pair of seatbelts & airbags and he pmed me saying he'll send me a pair for 220$ shipped. I message him, agree to him dadada & sent him the money. So it's a tuesday, I send him the money. I ask when are you sending it he goes thursday, which I was alittle upset because I figured (damn i was hoping he'd send it next business day) but I didn't care as long as I got it. Two days finally roll by, I message him no response. Finally comes until saturday he messages me saying he hasn't sent out the package and he will send it out monday. That was alittle f**ked up but okay. Keep in mind his excuses were "I was busy at work" and yet, his G35Driver account says, "last login: today at 2" which makes me wonder how busy he really is lol. So strike 1, he's late to send my package. Strike 2, hes ignoring my messages and I know he does because it said he logged in not to long ago.

So he monday finally comes around, he sends out the package supposebly, no tracking number, but he got a signature confirmation? What the hell? I guess. Never had that happen before and I've been doing this for almost 5+ yrs now. I ask him when should it arrive, and he responds "I told you I shiped it out not BSing you...... " Funny because I never accused the guy of not sending out the package. So I respond saying I didn't imply that and I asked when the package will arrive he said no later then saturday.

It's now monday again, and I still have not seen any package. I have a close relationship with our mailman he's really cool. Stops by during his shift to check out my car and motorcycle. I ask him on friday if he knows of any package arriving to my house today and he has not heard of any. (It's happen before where he's forgotten a package so what he does is he goes check somehow or someway)

So what do you guys think I should do? It's been almost two weeks, dude is being a dick about everything. I've been patient, never cursed, never threatened, nothing. I pmed him on Saturday saying the package has not arrived and he SAW my pm because it said his last long was alittle bit after I sent the message. I told him, "Hey if it's cool I just want my money back if the package does not arrive by Monday. If ever comes, I'll just reject the package." and he responds "So you want your package for free. Ha you're a joke."

Wierd isn't it? I never asked for anything free. I simply asked for my money back and I won't accept the package when it arrives.

Should I just chargeback & get it over with?

Note: I've done some pretty crazy transactions, and this is probably the worse. I've never had to deal with anyone like this guy. Completely rude & completely changed after I sent him the money.

 

did you use your credit card while using paypal?
if so i believe you can issue a chargeback and tell paypal
or your bank the whole story. if you paid with your debit
i believe your out of luck. GL with everything

 

whats his i-trader rating? What's his thread count and how long a member?

Signature comfirmation usually means that you have to sign for it when it gets there, he might not have gotten a tracking number... I wouldn't file anything with paypal just yet... wait a bit longer.

 

just wait till the end of the week, if nothing comes up, get your money back with paypal if you used your credit card.

 

at least he's not entirely unknown - and presuming the 2 itrader rating are positive I guess it's not too risky... but personally I would be more inclined to do biz from longer member (and preferably more ratings)...

 

I get it back and look elsewhere. To me anytime a seller can't commit and do things as said i won't deal with them.

 

This guy guy is a joke trying to make me look bad must think I need his 200 and so dollars

 

see exactly what I mean. Have I in no way insulted him or resorted to immature name calling. I asked nicely for my money back and he's over here bragging like he's rich but doesn't want to refund my money.

Wierd how he name calls, but avoids explaining why it has been almost two weeks and the package has not arrived.

Regardless, I've already filed a claim and debit doesn't mean I'm screwed.

 

Wow yeah you can totally tell his attitude. Man its sad when crap like this happens, Totally ruins your trust for buying online off forums.

 

hopefully everything works out...

 

Not sure why you posted all that since all it does is prove that everything the OP said is true...


Good luck getting your money back, OP. This is the main reason why I only sell parts locally. That way I avoid the hassle of shipping and the buyer knows exactly whEn and what they're getting.

 

340tog35 : said itl be there by sat ..

Choleaoum : is only expecting what he was told ..

p.s. having an attitude doesnt help you appear a good seller..

just my opinion ..

 

yeah you can tell by the response of the seller hes probably like 10 years old. who faunts they have money like that to defend that they are not trying to rip you off? someone who is trying to rip you off.. i would just start the paypal investigation to get your money back hopefully paypal will be on your side. i've been scam a couple times, and when i find a deal i always cross my fingers when i hit "send" through paypal -_-;
