I knew about the email from 4 days ago, I'm so pissed about I have trouble even talking about. This was Chris first sale / buy, I'm sure it will be he's last. That's sad.
Wait a minute......who said it's not covered because it wasn't bought on Ebay? UPS said this in an e-mail? Firstly they don't deal with anything in email and secondly as I stated in another thread form my job I have been reviewing the Service Manuals for all the retail carriers and I just was reading the UPS manual and nowhere is their any verbiage about it not being covered outside of Ebay.

If he misrepresented the items condition or conditions of sale, then that falls under "fraud" They don't guarantee that they can recover any money but, it would be in the sellers best interest to refund the purchase rather than get fraud charges slapped against him. The US Postal Service has jurisdiction when it comes to internet fraud. And believe me, from an experience I had. They do investigate this kind of crap. It's been suggested in this thread already that the seller misrepresented the amps condition, right?
He didn't use the US Postal Service so they won't touch it anymore than they will go after Best Buy if you walk in an purchase a bad TV.

This is what Chris told me by his Email and Phone call to PayPal, but I haven't seen this email myself. I told Chris to link this thread to PayPal, as no one is happy with Dylan and if PayPal is doing this I sure people with not use PayPal.
Karma is getting bigger. :rolleyes:

So deadbeat Dylan is non-communicado eh?
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all -
How you're Jim

Steve, you need to tell Chris to stop dicking around, go down to the courthouse and file a lawsuit in small claims. It may be the only way to stop Dylan from doing this to someone else.Political Correctness'.........defined

It seems that they are missing the fact the item was damaged DURING shipment and not just that you are not satisfied with the quality of the item. SOMEONE needs to follow up and make sure they get it right!"Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

It looks like you have bought at least 11 times on here so I am assuming the same reason/s you have. It was something you wanted and you felt you could trust the fellow selling it to you or at least the risk was acceptable. Of course the people you bought from had a very good rep on here as being solid peeps.
There will always be risk whether you buy from here or ebay,the only thing one can do is to attempt to lower that risk to an acceptable level. Personally I think that the flea market rules should be changed to a minimum of 200 posts and membership for 6 months to buy or sell something, in addition the first time someone sells something they should be required to ship and the item received in the same condition at time of sale before payment is sent by the buyer if the value of the object is $250.00 or more.
Just my 2 cents
REGARDS SNOW
So according to your rules, someone can hang around for 6 months, then easily con a new seller.
No matter what, trust is a big issue here. As is respect when selling privately. Obviously, respect was not present when Dylan refused to return payment.
Me personally, if someone had an issue I wouldnt think twice, I would give back the money. Its really not that hard of a concept. -

I asked Chris about this yesterday, there's been nothing from Dylan. So I'm sure he doesn't wish to man up here. I sorry to report that Chris will not pursue this in court, which I would personally enjoy, but truly isn't my call.
