An item I sold him didnt show up as advertised and I'm willing to give him a full refund AFTER he ships it back to me. He however, wants me to refund him the money BEFORE he ships it back to me which is an absurd request. If he doesnt send it back, since its a refund, I cant get any protection from paypal and can get screwed. I want to protect myself too if I decide to go that route. Anyone knows him personally in WASHINGTON and can vouch for him?

I've met him before, but barely know him.

Just an FYI, paypal doesn't protect purchases not made on ebay. I bought a Radar detector from a member here on rx7club, and he ripped me off. They started a dispute, but i never got my money back.

 

Thanks xcannibalx. Did u do business with him or met him at a meet?

If u can, can u please vote here https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...55#post8980455 . I need u guys help to decide my course of action.

He says hes a well known builder locally here in washington if that helps...

 

hello i am the one who got a turbo that had bent fins and shaft play when i have emails and pm's stating that it did not have any problems at all so how am i the one who is ripping someone off? i sent you 850$ for a turbo that was suppose to be goo and it was not so now i have to send it back with the trust that you will refund me the money???? right how do i trust that when you never kept your end of teh deal

 

ok we just talked on the phone as we have been since the original transaction and we agreed to do the refund when i get the money i will send the turbo out first class so he has to sign for it when he gets it and i will post the tracking number up tonight when he refunds my money.
please be aware this is a great seller he has no intention of screwing anyone over at all he is very trust worthy i give him good feed back
we wil see what happens tonight if this all goes thru i really hope so

 

I know and will vouch for him. He is not a scammer and will send the item back as promised. You're essentially asking him to do the same thing you want from him, send first, pay later. So its not absurd for him to want the money first before sending back. But I also see your side as you want the item before refunding. Regardless, I think this will work out fine.

 

i hope everything can be resolved in a timely manner without getting ugly.
and leave peoples names out of thread titles

 

Have already talked to him and paypaled him $700. Will wire him the remaining when my bank transfers to through.

 

468429110103751 here is the tracking number. and he sent me 700 and said he would send the rest to me tomorrow

 

well i am still waiting on the rest of my refund???? i send the item and the guy makes threads about this issue and yet i dont have my money

 

when did you send it, and did he receive it? typically it takes 3-5 or 5-7 business days depending on the size of the package or who the courier is.

**edit** just checked the package details and it looks like he didn't get it yet, until the transaction is complete the best you can do is wait and bitch regardless of which side your on.

Honestly i don't see the problem here, both of you had an initial argument and now your both paranoid. There is no winning situation until the transaction is complete.
