Members big69 Posted June 15, 2012 Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'd file one now just to be safe. Once the seller sees a dispute has been opened against him he will get his ass in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted June 15, 2012 Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 Go ahead and open a dispute now. You have to wait 7 days before escalating to a claim anyway. If the pedal doesn't show up in that span, escalate to a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rydia is hot Posted June 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 Edit: this is in response to oink. Oh hell no. PP gift is both stupid and, IMHO, unethical. Yes, the fees are high, but that's not grounds for ripping the company off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're, unfortunately, probably right--I'm a professor, and it's amazing how many folks seem to kick the bucket around midterms and finals. Uncanny, really.

Yeah. It just amazes me that apparently some buyers fall for that. Or at least enough do that scammers still try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Last Nerve Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 "Death in the family" is always a reason to state- THIS IS WHY YOU F&CKING SHIP THINGS OUT RIGHT AWAY!!File NOW, IMO.If you somehow lose, but used your CC, call them and issue a chargeback. People suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyprusg Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 You can't ship a package out when someone in your family dies? Do all responsibilities cease to exist? If it were me and someone in my family died and even if I'm destroyed I would just ask a friend to ship the package for me.

Members janimarj Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just wondering what you think is reasonable. Here's my situation, which involves about $1000:Contact seller (not through here). Seller is very quick to respond to questions. We settle on a price, I send payment (Paypal)--this is just shy of two weeks ago. Don't hear from him for a couple of days. Drop him a line to make sure the payment went through okay. He says sure, will ship asap. Few more days go by. Tells me that there's been a death in his family and he's out of town but will try to ship when he gets back. I apologize and ask him to give me a call when he's able--no stress--just to touch base. He emails, says he'll ship the next day when he gets back, which was yesterday. No word from him. Everytime you sell something on the internet, somewhere a family member dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Player99 Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Tells me that there's been a death in his family and he's out of town but will try to ship when he gets back. Why only "try" when he gets back? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rydia is hot Posted June 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 My thoughts exactly. I opened a [edit] dispute [edit] yesterday--no response yet. And that's no surprise since he's ignored my emails for the last few days as well. Now I'm deciding how long to give him before I escalate it to a claim. The way I see it, if he's got something legitimate going on (which I doubt), then he's got nothing the worry about with the claim--he just has to ship the item and then I'll close it out when everything is cool.
