i bought something a while back off ebay. never got it. filed a claim with paypal. was awarded in my favor. i only received about half my payment back because that was all the guy had in his paypal account. that was 2-3 years ago. the claim is still open even though he no longer has a paypal account.


if you paid by credit card, go to them.

 

If you want your money back that's what you need to do. Of course it's your choice.

I believe we have been made aware of that "scam." We don't condone that type of behavior here though.

 

10-4 gotcha. Just thought they wanted their money back. My mistake. But what btm757 showed is o.k.? Just to make sure what is acceptable or not. Maybe then, btm757's answer is the way to go!! sorry.

 

Haha, thanks for all the support guys. Paypal sent me and email saying my case was closed due to me getting a refund...then awhile later the refund failed. I guess I will call mastercard...what do I tell them tho? I'm such a newb when it comes to real life things like this haha

 

What someone does outside this forum is up to them. Somehow I think you already know the answer.

Tell them you bought something online through PayPal and you never received the merchandise or even a tracking number. Let them know you have tried to contact the seller and PayPal multiple times for a refund, but you have not had any luck. Ask for a, "chargeback." Some companies will take care of it right then and others take a couple days.

 

Thanks man! I will do that tomorrow. Maybe I will finally get my money back. Fingers crossed

 

Whats the guys information? If he don't pay we will make his life hell!

 

He signed on 4 days ago lol

 

Whoop Whoop! Checked my bank account this morning...the nightmare is over! Every last cent just got refunded! Yay!!!! So pumped...regardless...Christoper Silva...you suck

 

thats good to hear, but I would still like to hear his story

 

As would I...if you ever get in contact with him and hear it...let me know

 

so where did the money come from? paypal? or did you get the credit card company to help you out? did he just end up giving it back to you?

 

Well on my statement it says:
PAYPAL *CSILVA88
MasterCard Return Item

So...? I'm not sure how to translate that really, it says Paypal CSILVA and Mastercard...all in the same entry haha

 

i guess the important thing is you got your money back haha good job. and now we know not to buy from him...

 

Glad you got your Refund!
so, you going to do anymore buying from people online???
It would seem that if this had happened to me, I'd never trust anyone that I did not personally know, to send me an item after sending them the money for it.

 

Just bought two lil things from two guys over on TRS and I ordered gears and a master install kit (since this diff never came thro...rebuilding what I have a guess) from wayne hartwig on Pirate 4x4. I have had more good experiences then bad experiences. I haven't lost hope in the Ranger Brotherhood just yet haha

 

I've had some bad experiences before, some quite costly. Hasn't stopped me from buying and selling on the Internet though. In the end, I've saved and made much more than I have lost. Just part of it.

 

So is this guy getting banned?

 

He hasn't made a post since 1/5/2011 anyway. I'd say it's safe to say he won't either. Would you?

 

Well, I was thinking he may wait till this has blown over and people have forgotten, then try to do it again.

 

yeah i mean he signed on 4 days ago, he shouldn't even be able to access information on here since hes a douche bag

 

Glad to hear you finally got it back!

 

Thanks to everyone! You have all been very helpful! Now you know...stay away from Christopher Silva!
