To make a long story short, I saw a California Car cover that d4a3m2o1n had for sale, priced at 140 bucks. He listed it as their Ultraweave material, which is very weather resistant, and very much what I need for moving out and going to a school a couple hours away from home, especially in Oklahoma where the weather is unpredictable to say the least!
Well, after sending payment for the cover, I felt very un-sure about the transaction, as the buyer seemed in a rush to get the thing sold, and I can understand being in a tight spot, but this seemed more like a payment advance than a selling of an item. So just to be SURE, I posted up in both of his threads that I had bought the item. I then receive a PM from Blueline saying that he had thought he had bought the same cover from the same user, and had asked for a tracking number for a week and never got anything, only to file a paypal dispute and be denied because the seller does not have any money in their paypal account. This got me worried.. So I went ahead and filed a dispute, while talking with the seller. Our conversation is below, and I will follow up with the current predicament...: PLEASE let me know if you think I was out of line, but I've just been screwed over in too many situations like this, because people can't be honest. I swear I'm not going to buy from people with trader scores less than 10, and probably not at all if they have 1-2 strikes against them!:
I plan on not letting the paypal dispute go until I verify the shipped item is not a rock. If you look at the Seller's feedback, is this wrong of me. I'm sorry if I come off as a dick in text messages, I usually just do it to ward off potential scammers, as they'll usually only find a way to cut out if you know they'll deal with them provided they attempt to scam you. So anyway, here's a warning thread for this seller, who also just text me that he's "Leaving SVTP and deleting his username, so he didn't care" that I was going to make a thread to warn people to watch out for his strange practices. I hope the cover comes in as listed, or I will definitely be continuing this thread much further, i'm sick of younger people ruining these kinds of forums for us early 20 year olds that ARE responsible for our words and money, and would not monkey around with people for a quick buck because we're not irresponsible with money.
Cheers SVTP! :beer:
