dealings with paypal

[ssms5411]

THere is a guy overe on z28.com who was selling some chrome 5 spoke 17x9" rims with 2 new tires so I pay paled him $620 shipped for the rims and tires on 8-1-06 he was suppose to ship them several times but on 8-10-06 he emailed me and said he was shipping them out on Friday the next day which now I have emailed him about 5 times with no response and even left a message on his cell phone with no response. ANother member on the website also was suppose to recieve an item and never did so he emailed the adminstrators to see if they could get him to respond. I went ahead and filed with paypal with their resolution center has anyone dealt with them before. I know I have to wait 20 days before I can take the action futher then paypal will decide if they will pay out. Is paypal known to pay out or will they screw me in the end ?

Re: dealings with paypal

I just wanted to make sure if I don't get the rims I at least get my money back. I hope paypal will pay up i this guy doesn't come through. He also had like over 400 posts on their board so I though I was safe, I guess your never too safe these days. rhanks for the replys Steve

Well... sounds like the guy might be a ****head. I've had several hundered successful transactions involving PayPal, though I've never had to consult the resolution center.

Re: dealings with paypal

the only problem is if he emptied his paypal account there is nothing they can do about it, and you are going to have to take legal actions, but yeah, if you thoroughly discribed your case then you will get your money back, and make sure to elevate your claim immediately and not give him a chance tor respond

Re: dealings with paypal

my roomate at college had the exact same problem. he bout a set of rims and tires off a guy thru ls1tech... sent paypal... then waited... he was patient and waited a month, with 5-6+ missed ship dates before he filed. then i think he still had like a 90 day grace period he could extend to the guy before he got hsi money back (or at least thats hwo he described it to me). It eventually came down to the two of them meeting half way (bout an h our for each) and just pickign the things up... he rescinded his paypal claim and all was good.. but he did have to wait 2 months for his rims and tires, all the while not driving his camaro cause he had a cracked rim. good luck man

Re: dealings with paypal

things will get worked out whether paypal puts a lot of pressure on him to pay up or ship the rims out or if paypal will take the action and just pay you. i had a guy do the same to me complaining he was always to busy to ship them out. finally after a few weeks i told him that he had my money and my rims and that he had to give up one of them and to ship the rims out monday or give me my money back monday. needless to say monday morning i had a tracking number in my email. best of luck hope it works out and you dont get screwed
