Method, all sorted

Thought I'd post this back up here in the hope that someone on here knows him and can find out what he is playing at.

I paid 45 quid for a shock posted in the for sale section here and he snappily took payment through paypal and promptly vanished failing to answer emails or PMs, I lucked out and landed his current mobile number.

First time I called him (last week) I got through and had a semi promising conversation, he said he had sent the shock and would get back to me with the tracking number later that day. Needless to say I got no response.

Calling him today pretty much sealed it for me as he hung up and promptly switched his phone off Thumbs Down

Any suggestions before I go down the paypal claims route? I'm kind of hoping he can't ignore that too but I'm still happy to have the shock if he will at least explain wtf is going on with him, it's a pretty surprising turn given how long he has been here and that he has sold stuff before.

Cheers Thumbs Up

You not get his address from the paypal transaction? or even his full name?

Get the Paypal thing going asap, sounds like he's being a right arse.

Well I get the impression from the forum that he's actually an OK guy, so I'd be tempted to try to give him the benefit of the doubt in the first instance.

Give it a few more days before you initiate a paypal dispute because that is pretty much guaranteed to find in your favour. I'm sure you'd much rather have the shock than the money back and if its going to take ages anyway what is the harm in giving him another couple of days?

He's given him a few more days already. Seb posted about this last week, finally got in contact with Method who now will not answer his calls. It only takes a quick call/pm/text to explain if something is wrong.

Start the paypal dispute, he isn't going to post the shock.

Jayy · Mr. Ponzi Joined: 08 Jun 2009 Karma :

You're being rather nice about it Seb. He's taken you for a ride there mate, classic excuses.

The fact that you rang him and he answered and you told him who you were and he started flapping indicates he's lying.

Doesn't take a month to send something out if you've got it to hand does it? He either never had the shock or he did have it but something else has happened, like he sold it to someone else and kept your money as well!

By the way, it takes about 3 months for paypal to sort disputes out because they're a waste of spunk. An that's providing he pays it, they then pass to debt collection companies, they harass you and you can ignore them.

Rip off merchant.

Post his full name an i'll get you his address.

Sorry man, I'd rather not stir it up for him just yet, I'd much rather he just came here and posted a 'sorry buddy, no money to post it just yet, I'll have it in the mail next week' or whatever. He could have spent the funds on brown for all I care, as long as I know what's going on I'm happy Thumbs Up

" Hi Seb, Method here, sorry I haven't been in touch, I've been away travelling through time and I'll be back last week. Thanks for your £45 though, i'll pay you back on the twenty twelth of never "

Agreed about it's not coming mate, start a paypal dispute, if he can't provide the tracking number then Paypal will agree in your favor and refund you. Good luck. Thumbs Up

Do PayPal cover you for just sending cash to another party......

Pretty sure that they only have dispute process for purchase's via Ebay...

If it was just you sending them cash, then like anyother bank.

There is no comeback.

I suggest you get his addy from PayPal and pay a visit.

Maybe a mod should remove his other for sale threads for the time being until this is sorted out in case he is deliberately ripping people off?

Paypal have a dispute process outside of ebay, I got fucked over sold an MMOPRG account online (450dolla i might add) and a few days later the account reported 'unauthorised transaction' I saved all emails etc and paypal still said its their duty to give him MY money back because it was fraud.
Refused to tell me what evidence they had of the fraud though.... (yes I didn't answer in 7 days but I didnt think check paypal every couple of days FOREVER incase someone wants to steal your money...).

Buyer protection is crazy on paypal Razz
