Seller Refused To Send Items I Paid For...

Is he still a registered user on ebay CoinNut? I don't know if you have a Paypal account or not but with Paypal you can dispute it there as well. You could always fill out the form from the post office inspector. You fill out the form online. Here it is if you want to do that:

Always worth a shot. I dislike shisters very much. I got ripped off for over $350 one time for some hard drives about 5 years ago and it did not make me very happy. Dishonest people just really are the pits.

I used to visit a forum of eh survivalists
Together with a dozen of them I was defrauded out of 60 silver eagles by an ebay specialist selling coins he did not have and not for the first time
The police made a file on him and about everybody got refunded or got his coins apart from me being a foreigner

If you are defrauded on the internet you can go to your local small claims court and start a free procedure against any american in any of the other states
A Texan did this and got awarded double ( the fraudster was from Mystic on the eastcoast )

The american police could not be bothered to help me
I got a single email asking me if I was still defrauded

I have not used paypal since they had a problem holding on to thousands of peoples personal info,, I had to cancel my credit card and get a new number, all the problem was mine, paypal took no responsiboility for the loss nor was I re paid for the time and money I had to spend to monitor my credit files for a year after .

Pay pal never again !!

I pay by money order only, if a seller does not accept it, then I dont bid .

While I am a PayPal user -in fact, most of my sales auctions are PayPal only due to time and travel constraints and the convenience of PayPal- I am just holding my breath to the day I get burned by PayPal. I've used PayPal since the late 1990s and have read all the horror stories of what can go wrong, so am living with PayPal from day to day, don't let my account build up to levels which could financially cripple me if PayPal froze my account.

That said, I occasionally have problems with PayPal-only auction winners who have PayPal accounts but, after winning the auction, tell me they do not use PayPal, will be sending a money order instead. Apparently they have a PayPal account only to get around the ebay block on PayPal-only auctions. This drives me up the wall since it forces me to make an extra trip to the Post Office (25 miles one-way = $7.50 to $8.00 gas cost) and creates a major delay in shipment of the item(s) - I normally make only one trip to the PO per week. It's not so bad if a bidder contacts me before the auction's end to ask if I will accept a MO or check; I always say "Yes" and make accommodations for a delayed shipment. I then remove the block on the auction, but when an auction winner for a $2 item wins an auction, tells me he doesn't use PayPal, then expects almost next-day delivery, he's pushing the "cheerful service" envelope.

Also, I make it clear in my descriptions that my auctions are PayPal only, that if other forms of payment are preferred, then contact me. If this is not clearly stated, then the seller has to take some responsibility for the consequences.

Still, there is no excuse for not shipping an item no matter what the method of payment.

Since you sent a money order, it has now become mail fraud. Contact your postmaster and find out if you should file your complaint at your local post office or the post office at the zipcode the seller gave you.

As much as I hate to say it, this is why I always use Paypal, even if I have to wait a couple of days to get funds into the account. I don't let Paypal deduct from my bank account as an e-check. The advantage is that the buyer will win a Paypal dispute if the seller didn't follow all of their rules. You can only open a Paypal dispute if you paid with Paypal, though.

**UPDATE**
Seller finally came thru with the goods........after I emailed a copy of the cashed money order by his company....along with a note which stated if I did not hear from him in 3 days I was going to contact the postal service......I guess alls well that ends well......except for the three dollars extra I paid out for the tracer.......I had almost given up...in fact I had decided not to do anything else except leave a negative feedback........which I did.......this was before I got the items....now the seller asked If I would reconsider the feedback........Ohhh brother!!

Hi CoinNut5

Man this guy sounds like a piece of work !! You have to go to the ends of the earth to get what you paid for and he wants the neg removed ,, what a joke !!

There is no way I remove the neg, since you have received the goods, my contact with this person would end abruptly and with no fan fair..

I would however post His ID in the Not recommended sellers (I did not check to see if you already have ) so that other buyers can be aware of this guy .
