I need some help... Administrators/Anybody.. UPDATED!!! Got Money Back!!!
 

UPDATE! Paypal Claim Ended in my favor and I was refunded the $300 I Paid for the set of snow tires and rims. I'm very happy i got my money back but this was all a major pain in the ass. This is the second time something like this has happened to me and i have now lost a lot confidence. I know 95% of the sellers are honest and good but there are some bad apples out there. Anyways I just wanted to thank the members who gave me any info and help.
Thanks
Krunk Man




I bought the wheels from e53fanatic, I sent him payment on Monday as promised via paypal(were both verified). Since that i have not heard a word from him. I've sent emails, private messages, and i have not recieved any responses. He promised Shipment on tuesday and an email with tracking numbers, but i have not received anything. He says hes sold rims to 2 other members, i private messaged both of them but they havent gotten back to me yet.
What should i do?


Heres the Link to the original post for the sale of the set.

Start an dispute with paypal, they are great about this stuff!

Wait a few more days. Be patient. Paypal will do its job though. Things do come up. I was supposed to go to a BBQ but got hit by a drunk driver in the daytime.

When I use PayPal I always have the funds directed from a credit card rather than my bank account. That way if PayPal doesn't give me help in a dispute then I always have recourse through my credit card company (payment protection is usually pretty standard on most credit cards).

As was suggested above, be patient for a few days before taking action. Unforseen things do happen to people that are out of their control, so give him the benefit of the doubt before panicing.

I agree with replies above. ^

I assume he's not a retailer so don't expect the same "customer service" as a real retailer.

His profile says he was on the board last night at 7PM so he should have read your PM. Did you PM him with read confirmation?

yes i have the pm confirmation and there all unread.

Still sitting in the dark. I will wait till the middle of next week and then i think im going to file a report.

What i dont like about all of this is we had really good communication before the sale(private messages sent back and forth for a couple days). As soon as i sent the money, he disappeared.:confused:

Really sorry to hear that!The seller being a member here and all!Hope you sort it out soon.:)

Not sure if this is a good idea or not, but if it is not too much trouble, maybe make it policy for any sale that goes on here requires a phone call first with the exchange of each others phone numbers. Much easier to get a hold of someone with a phone number. And we all know how text can sometimes be taken out of context. Plus, if something did happen like a family emergency or something along those lines, there might be someone who can clear it up... ie; "sorry he/she had to rush out of town for whatever reason"


Just a thought.

They may rule in your favor, but they will only refund your money if they can recover it from the seller's account; if not, you're SOL. Plus, they drag on their so-called investigations forever, most likely on purpose so that you exceed your Credit Card's dispute timeframe. Whenever I have a problem like this, I don't even bother filing dispute with PayPal - I go straight to my Credit Card and get much better service and faster results.
