What would you do?
« on: February 17, 2013, 09:35:47 am »
Bought some Mk6 calipers from seller on eBay, although paid outside listing but used Paypal.  Seller has good feedback and seems to be a parts breaker.  Everything was fine, answered all my questions quickly and was very helpful... Until I paid... Then nothing... No calipers or response to mails.

After 10 days of nothing I opened a dispute with Paypal which has escalated into a claim.  He still doesn't respond via mail, eBay or PayPal, yet he's added new parts for sale during this time, and answered a question my mate sent him to test he was getting the mails.

So, what would you do next?  I'm pretty annoyed tbh and worry about getting the money back.

Paypal tends to favour the buyer so you should get your money back.

Paypal will try contacting the seller and give him a few days to respond. Just a matter of time

As mentioned above , Paypal virtually always resolves in the favour of the buyer . Just takes ages .

Cheers, my only fear is it looks like he requested the money into a different PayPal account than his usual eBay one... And PayPal never pay the money out, it's always the seller.

He did tell me he'd received the cash and would send out, but that was it... I like to give people the benefit of the doubt hence leaving it ten days... If he didn't have the callys any longer all he had to do was tell me, but not responding in nearly 20 days (but definitely receiving the mails) just makes him look like a scammer.

Big PITA as I've had to put off fitting the new callys which the car really needs.
If I've learned anything, it's not to deal outside a listing, and even though I didn't, don't send PayPal gifts... I would have absolutely no come back then.

How am I lucky, I haven't got my funds back.... Yet.

It does state what the invoice is for though.

This is the seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/200sxm/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3692

Anyone know of him, dealed with him before?
His feedback is practically perfect, bar 1, been a trader since 2006... he's ignoring mails from Paypal too... just doesn't make sense.  4 days left until Paypal does 'something'

How do you find out where he's based?

I think you can request there details from PayPal.

Hopefully they give you his phone number too so you can see what he says.
