Ripped off?
So as some of you may have heard it appears that I may have been ripped off in a transaction that I did with a member who posted parts for sale here. Apparently he's got no cash in his paypal account and so they can't get it back for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Should I call the county sheriff's office where he lives? File a smail claims case?
Thanks for your help. David |

Re: Ripped off?
It's been my experience that Paypal is for sellers. It's nearly impossible to get your money back when you've been scammed. Paypal should cover you and then try and retrieve the money. They make a hefty profit margin on every transaction and they're part of Ebay so they have millions and millions of dollars in profits each year.
Ya, who scammed you? |

Its been a month since I paid him. A couple weeks ago after hearing nothing from him and seeing other people getting nervous I called him only to find his vm full. That's when I went to paypal. Now, apparently its my fault that his paypal account is suspended and he can't do business. I guess when someone doesn't follow through, seemingly dissapears, and has a full vm box its time to continue to be patient?!?! Last edited by oregondave; 04-02-2009 at 06:19 PM. Reason: Accuracy |

He told me he sent out my parts 2 weeks ago. They haven't arrived yet, but customs can take a while. If they aren't here early next week I'll be filing against him too.
