Feeling like I just got robbed ..what to do?
 

So basically I purchased an used exhaust system from another member on the forum. Paid in full via paypal.

1st week = Thanksgiving holiday okay maybe just busy with family.
2nd week = Multiple emails requesting a tracking number. Finally responds apologizes for delay. Saying he is shipping it through a freight company, I should get a call to schedule delivery. And I should expect it early next week.
3rd week = No phone call from shipping company. I'm frustrated. Email him telling him if he hasn't shipped the item yet, to give me a full refund. It's been 2 days. No response. No shipping/tracking number.

What do I do? :mad0259:

hmm if I were you I would just paypal request but sometimes it takes a while for that to hit your account. how much was the transaction for

Paypal will intervene nicely if you send a dispute through them.

Also, your signature is off. the man says "More than you can afford pal, ferrari."

Insert FR-S in place of ferrari.

Paypal dispute.

Get your money back.

Unless you sent funds as a gift, in which case, you're SOL.

When using PayPal, never use the gift option when buying something. They protect their customers pretty well and as long as you sent money using the correct payment option, they'll help you.

make sure you contact an administrator on this forum as well.

I'm screwed! Damn blind faith.

Unless you know the seller, never send payment via Gift. Pay the fee and sleep comfortable at night knowing you're backed for shit like this. I forget what its called but assuming you have his information and a copy of the dialog between the two of you, you can file a police report against him.

If you know the person's name...file a litigation with them.

Breach of contract. Out of state? Not out of luck due to the Long Arm Statue!

Sue in small claims court. Just prove your case and you can prove it through transcripts like text/messages.

Also...share the persons forum name so we can all be aware!

Tell us who it is

Call him out!

ya Call him out, what his name in the forum, so its alert everyone here not to purchase from him again.

Well, that sucks.

Some people aren't "with it" if you catch my drift. Not defending the seller, just pointing out that even some official companies lack proper business ethics. Could just be some kid who has no idea how to act like an adult.
I would dispute it with paypal and get your money back. This person doesn't seem serious enough to warrant any further interaction
