What to do when purchased goods never arrive?

[jdpromo33]

Sad to say that after purchasing a set of painted Esky Vents from a member of this forum, they never arrived.
After 2 weeks i emailed the member and he said that his friend had sent them via USPS with no tracking number (Yeah right!!!!!).
USPS charge 70 cents extra for tracking info

After 3 weeks I emailed again asking for a refund and guess what? No response.

I filed a dispute with Paypal who also tried to make contact and still no response.

Has this happened to any other members? and should someone acting this way continue to be a member of this forum?

There has to be a element of mutual respect and honesty amoungst a group of people that share a common interest.

Out of common decency I have not named this individual YET! but my patience is fast running out.

This is just plain shady!!!

has the person been online since you guys made the deal?


you did good by starting a paypal claim. have they gotten your money back yet? try to post his info, to find out where he lives. if you can find out, contact his local police department and file a claim with them. also, check out this site for any possible recourse http://www.usps.com/forms/_pdf/ps8165.pdf

do not wait any longer, 3 weeks is way too long.


this is exactly why i've been pushing for a feedback forum.

Yes he was online at 3.02am this morning but has not posted for a while.
Yes I already filed the claim with paypal. Paypal have told me that if he doesnt respond by 1/18/10 they will issue me a refund.

I will contact the board admin to see if this member can be traced before I go to the Police

Thats not right. Have you tryed to contact him on here.

Yup! No response

If he can't provide a shipping receipt, PayPal will always rule in your favor and you will get your money back.

might try out the other forums as well. i know other ones have a feedback section, might be able to find more info on him.

 

[Travieso]

who is he i think you should put his name on blast just in-case other members try to buy from him just to give a heads up so it wont repeat again.

 

[vatahoelt]

post his info

 

[Chevyrider619]

[jdpromo33]

I'm dying to, but want to give him a little more time to respond first.

But I check the "For Sale" section just to make sure nobody else gets taken.

I hope it works out for you JD, that's really ****** up how he just vanished like that. People like that make it hard to trust buying and selling things on a forum

 

[Travieso]

you know it's funny that we found out who it was (Twenty4s) cause i was going to actually meet up with him and pay cash for the vent covers since he was local. I will no longer do business with him we don't need to deal with this kinda people and i was going to actually hook him up with a couple of stuff. I hope everything works out for you.. Good Luck

 

[chistoso]

I've dealt with guys here both selling and buying and have had nothing but great experiences. I do agree that we need a member feedback section though..
