Some people insist on gift payments as a buyer could claim they never received anything and apply for a refund to get the money back.

PayPal is too full of loopholes that can be exploited in either direction...

hence the use of recorded delivery.

Which unfortunately only indicates a package arrives, not that it contained the goods described.

If you have been deceived out of money then that is against the law and can be dealt with by the police , but i would do it via the small claims court , it is so simple . You have the persons home address , or at least an address . Reporting it to the police doesn't get you any money back either , has to be proven in court and compensation awarded from court is rarely enforced .
But for £40 i wouldn't bother

I've also had experience with this member! He said he'd buy my air suspension off me and meet me at edition 38 which I wasn't planing on going to, I arrived there and he wouldn't answer my phone Calls or texts. Two weeks later he messaged me saying he wants the bags again, and that that it was his "mate" using his account before hand.

Edition 38 is a 2 hour 30 minute drive from me.

Had a similar thing happen on Ebay, buyer claimed the item we sent him didnt work so we asked for it back (figured he had swapped the item for a broken one hence why we noted down the serial number)

Anyway the buyer returned the item with tracking number after he opended a ebay case against me, what he did (thinking he was being clever) was post it to a house number slightly different than mine, basically Ebay saw it had arrived and gave him his refund.

After a few weeks of fighting ebay the royal mail proved it was posted to the wrong address, ebay took the money back of the buyer and gave it back to me  :surprised:

Has a few bits for sale. Either the threads should removed or a link to this one posted in all of them.
