Problem w/Paypal, chargeback, ebayer.
« on: December 02, 2004, 06:44:39 PM »
Long story short:

1. Sold A4000 on ebay
2. shipped late (8 days after pmt recieved)
3. Buyer claiming through paypal for non-reciept
4. Buyer claiming through Credit Card for non-receipt
5. System arrives
6. Buyer recieved, powers up, works.
7. Paypal drops original claim since I showed proof.
8. Credit card takes money from paypal
9. I get a chargeback.
10. I'm disputing it showing proof of delivery.
11. Seller agreement through Paypal not covering me because since it was over $250 item I needed a signature confirmation which I didnt put on there.
12.  Paypal also will freeze his account if he does not return the merchandise or take care of the chargeback.

This guy is a Amiga user, allegedly a Judge in New York City.  How can I forward all the emails between myself, Paypal and buyer to have him reported?  He is a member of AMUSE user group in New York.

Now, what am I guilty of?  
1. Shipping 8 days after payment recieved.  
2. Thought I shipped it in a new box but I didnt, box was crushed, A4000 made it and powers up, toaster works etc.


Do not be biased since I am a moderator on AO, I need pro and con replies.

EDIT:
In a few hrs, I'll post his name & address because I am not going to let a criminal get away with stealing a computer and not paying for it, and then scamming Paypal for it.

EDIT#2:If this makes AO look bad in any way I'm willing to step down from being a moderator on this site.  I strongly believe in taking this guy down.

I dont mind either of the two options.  But from what it looks like he's keeping the A4000 for free.  If he's going to keep it, then he needs to pay for it.  And if he returns it, it needs to be in the same condition I sent it out being that he admitted it powered up and the toaster worked.  If it was damaged a claim could have been filed through USPS but since a claim was not filed, I assume it was not broken.

we kept in contact in email during the 8 days with me assuring that the package was sent.

What originally happened was I shipped it in 2 boxes.. one was the software, books etc..and then a big box w/the 4000, kb etc.

Box #1 (software books) arrived quickly..but since both were sent at the same time, why didnt the big box get there?  The tracking # was not showing up on the big box on USPS website.  I assured buyer I *did* send it that Friday along w/box #1.  But for a few days you could not see it as me sending it.  I could not explain it.  So that looked as if I didnt ship it which caused him to file.  Roughly, box #1 gets there on a Monday or Tuesday..box #2 that following Saturday.  All the time following up to Saturday the tracking # isnt updated on USPS which I do not have control of.

no that is correct.  I didnt actually send it for 8 days.  I had other personal things going on of which I will not disclose and it took about 2 days to actually remove my personal (programming stuff) off of there.  None of this was told to the buyer.  The additional delay between both boxes was USPS fault.

So again, I am at fault for shipping late, yes, correct, 100%, I admit it.  

That is done and over with, item recieved.  Time to be a man and pay the bill or return the merchandise.


X-Ray:  No, because I ordered the label/shipping through my Paypal account.  USPS doesnt stamp it I dont think.  


Also Wayne, I'm not asking for bias.  I do not hold it against you.
