Members rog951 Posted June 13, 2008 Members Share Posted June 13, 2008 I commend your intellectual jui-jitsu Thanks for that! I must admit it was quite a good feeling when the item actually arrived something like two and a half months after I won the auction. I had no idea my brilliant plan would work...definitely a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danhauk Posted June 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2008 So who wins the pool? Unfortunately I was away from the computer from the time I left work until now due to me forgetting I had dinner plans with the fiance. Oops. She's gotta get used to that though since we're getting married in October. This means I wasn't able to file a dispute. But there is good news, and a bit of humor. Read on... yes i totally understand. he said he contacted you, apparently not. he told me that he recieved an offer for his guitar alone of $250, so he could not sell it. so i will def refund your money. i'm srry for all the confusion. i will speak with him - beicher1o Glad his friend got in touch with me to let me know he got a higher offer. I then received a confirmation from PayPal saying that the refund went through, and checked. It's there, minus their lame $5 fee. Payment Details Amount: $165.00 USD Transaction ID: 7UB42525SU172604J Subject: guitar refund Note: i'm srry for all the confusion. i will speak with my friend And yet another message from him through eBay. Dear abzmo, i just refunded your payment. it should be in your paypal account. srry for all this again - beicher1o At least I didn't have to open a dispute or anything, so that's good. Not sure who was first to say the refund was coming, but nice prediction. And he apologized three times (srry counts, right?) so I suppose that makes everything all better now.

Members danhauk Posted June 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2008 I just realized... $250 for a used G310? OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GodBlessTexas Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 I really don't feel like going through a PayPal dispute. I've done it before and it's a huge pain in the ass since the other guy tried to drag it out as long as he could. This is why you ALWAYS pay with a credit/debit card through paypal, not a bank transfer or from paypal funds. Your credit card/debit card issuer will play hardball with Paypal, and you are not left to Paypal's fickle whims. Paying with a credit card is the only way you maintain control over the transaction.

Members Cletus Spuckle Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 This misadventure cost you three weeks of bad feelings and a $5 paypal fee. Are you going to give him a negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 This misadventure cost you three weeks of bad feelings and a $5 paypal fee. Are you going to give him a negative? I wouldn't. The guy (though it was hard to believe at times) did what he said he was going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cletus Spuckle Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 I wouldn't. The guy (though it was hard to believe at times) did what he said he was going to do. No, the guy said he was going to sell the item on ebay to the highest bidder. If he didn't honor that "contract" then he deserves the negative feedback.

Members Metalhead Mike Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 Give him a negative feedback, that will teach him to screw around and cut deals with his douchebag friends. I'm still bitter after getting scammed out of $4 by a fake tow-truck driver yesterday morning who told me my neighbor/friend had gotten into a serious car accident. I hate scammers, scumbags and dishonest assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
