Bad traders

Excellent! Congrats!

Finally! I'm pleased you got your money back.

woot woot. What little bicycle bauble will you spend it on to console yourself for the hassle?

Well done on being so civil/patient. I would have gone for full scorched earth long ago and probably fucked any chance of a refund in the process...

no he didn't ask. I just tend to do it. Give trust, receive trust, I don't know, I'm a mug.

That's what I figure. He can't be that shifty. But I've spoken to another person who he's basically done the same thing to, and he eventually sent the bits after some strongly worded pm's. I guess I'll keep pestering.

Can you get his full name from the PayPal transaction details?
If so, take it to Facebook?

yeah I've tried that. There is someone on facebook who could be him, but I can't be sure. He lives in E9 so I hoped someone might know him irl.

I have something in mind... It's currently just a matter of getting the seller to do it for a reasonable price...

Im so happy for you.

Ps. Delete your paypal and make another one so they cant take that money back for whatever crazy reason?

lol, precautionary tactics

Haha I am fairly certain that there's nothing he can say or do with would mean that I they'd Take it back ;-) also creating a new PayPal account is a right ballache

Big thanks to everyone for the help, I really appreciate it!

Hey Danny — only just back on here and I've just sent you a PM. Sorry for the hold up.

Needless to say I'm pretty embarrassed about this whole rigmarole and I'll be able to get this sorted when the post office opens tomorrow morning.

Lessons learnt; do it yourself.

but come on; using the intern to post personal stuff is also a bit out of order imo. I'd "forget it" too when i'ld've been said intern.

congrats, coke and strippers this weekend!;)

Lol I think we ALL should celebrate for our man @haveo here :)

He got his money back.....beers on him then :D

@haveo did your refund come out of paypal's coffers or did they take it from the seller. Would be a bit rubbish if he got away with it.

I'm sure they won't say and there's no way to know that for sure

If by coke and strippers, you mean spend the weekend finding an awesome frame to replace it, then yes!

Yeah no way of knowing

I believe they'll refund you from their own funds and then look to reclaim this amount from the seller. I had a friend who, as a seller, lost a dispute. He happened to have closed his linked bank account during this time and so PayPal send debt collectors after him.

Wow and then what happened?

He sleeps with the fishes.

get all the cash out of that account before they change their minds
