What should I do?
I bought a used Sedra 9000 from oohmiller in the selling thread here on RC. Link I received fast responses by pm until I sent my paypal payment. After that I cant get a response back via pm or on the thread. Seems others are having the same problems. All items where said to be shipped out on tues 7/30 its now 8/3 and no word or shipment yet.
Should I keep pestering them via pm and replys to post or start checking with paypal to reverse the payment? I dont wanna go overboard but I also dont wanna sit around wondering whats up.

Is he reading your PM's? You know how to track that right?
If he is reading them and not replying I would start the claim today. Odds of getting your money back without him providing a tracking number are good and they may freeze his account so he doesn't do this to others. |

I would keep pestering them! I don't know much about Pay pals and what not but this could be some type of scam! I am a fraud investigator and know about scams like this! if the problem continues I would reverse the payment ASAP

Yeah he read um all same day I sent and has been posting on other threads without a reply to me. Should I give him a warning that without an update on tracking/shipping info im going to talk to paypal or just start it?

Don't get you hopes up about Paypal doing anything for you. I had a problem with someone shipping me a broken Tek light and they told me tough luck. If you reverse the charges using your credit card or checking account, I've been told Paypal will cancel your account.

Initiate a formal dispute on the paypal website. It simply initiates a formal and documented dialogue between you and the seller. The seller must respond or paypal will eventually side with you. If he does respond and you both can't reach an agreement, paypal will review the emails and come to a conclusion. If you’re dissatisfied with the outcome, you can still cancel it on your credit card. Paypal may cancel your account but its better than being out the $$$$. I've had to do this three times now

Well I receive the item and it was a POS even though he said it was running and guaranteed me or 100% money back hes trying to renig and only give partial money back. I filed a dispute with Paypal and they said since it wasn't bought through ebay to **** off and closed the dispute. So now who should I contact to get my money back from this lieing sack of **** that wont even respond to pm's. I am totally ****ed of at the lack of support from paypal and will never use there ****tly little service again.

If it makes you feel better your not alone, a few others are having problems with the same guy, threads in the buyer/trader feedback forum.
I am with Mike, contact your Credit Card company if you used one. |

Just start a claim with paypal
He MUST provide a tracking number or you get an auto refund. If he provides a tracking number, and you get an empty box, then you can do a credit card charge back. Credit Card companies HATE paypal.... |

He didn't use a credit card, it was bank funds, so he's at PayPals mercy.

I had a deal go bad, just like this where the guy sent me something broken which I paid for with a bank transfer through PayPal. I filed with Paypal, they told me that if it wasn't purchased through eBay they won't do anything. I escalated and got the same result. I filed with IC3.gov, result: nothing I filed with the US Postal Inspector, result: nothing I filed with the Florida Attorney General, result: nothing I filed with the Florida Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services, result: nothing I think the only way you have any chance of solving the problem is small claims court and then it will cost you more than it is worth in time off and expenses. I wish you luck, but I think you are SOL. |

Here's a heads up...make the seller send you a request for funds via Paypal..listing what the item is and it's condition .then you have a recourse...at least that's how it used to be...

yeah used to be but ebay bought paypal and its not the way anymore. The only way paypal will protect you is if you buy from there parent company ebay. That way there dipping into the seller twice for money listing and paypal fees. If you dont buy it from ebay they say theres no way they can prove the condition of the item before its shipped just a bs excuse to push you off.
/sarcasm on "Why yes Paypal I did intend on buying a pump thats only use is a door stop or paperweight. The 100% guarantee of a working piece of equipment really meant nothing to me." The guy I talked to while at work today made it feel like he could have sent me a pile of dog crap and it would be fine cause he sent it with tracking. Ill give paypal a call back when im at home and can talk more freely and get a higher up. Neither party has heard the last from me.

What I don't understand about this guy is how he sold so much stuff. It seemed clear to me in his post that more then one person was having issues with him, yet people were still posting things like "I want that. I'll send PayPal today," well after others were posting their issues.
Deberg I don't put you on this list because I understand that you bought your item real early in the process, but how the heck did this guy keep people interested in his items? Some people just aren't that smart. Sorry to hear about your problem. I hope SOMEDAY you'll be able to get a refund.
