Some guy trying to rip me off? Title edited

Won this card back on August 26th and paid instantly when the auction finished. Seller and I both have perfect feedback so I'm expecting a perfect/smooth transaction. To this date I have not received the card and I have sent emails inquiring about it. He never responds. I file a complaint and now I have an email from Paypal stating that he has submitted a tracking #. Here's the funny thing. The tracking # given is RT858239238CA and if you go the Canada Post (if link doesn't work, try http://www.canadapost.ca/splash.asp) and enter it under item # after you press "english", it shows that it was delivered on 6/13/06. Is this guy psychic and knew I was going to win the item 1 1/2 month later that he decides to ship it early? Doh! I sent Paypal an email, since I can't post anything else (message) since it's now a complaint instead of a dispute. I don't want to leave him a negative, but I wonder why he never responded to me personally and just do this. What would you do? I think it's kind of funny trying to provide a fake tracking # and I hope Paypal catches this.

  • First let me say I am sorry to hear what has happened to you and I hope you get your cash back but What does the fact he is canadian have to do with it. It just makes it sound like we are all dishonest. If I get ripped off I dont post "Some American" or "Some European" guy rips me off it has nothing to do with it. I have two non paying bidders on big ticket items from auctions I have just ran but the fact they are american in my mind has nothing to do with it they are just a couple of deadbeat bidders period. Anyway just my 2 cents. Not trying to start trouble but just doesnt sit right with me putting a title like that up.

  • Have you gotten his contact information and called him?

    If not, why not?

    How expensive an item are we talking about here?

    His FB is fine.

    Maybe he gave you the wrong tracking number
    in error. (I did that once.)

    Sounds like lost mail, but PayPal will catch the
    tracking number. At least they did on mine.

  • I'm sorry that you got ripped off EagleEyeKid but being Canadian has nothing to do with it.
    I have been ripped off from more American sellers. Maybe because i do more transactions with US sellers.

    Sorry gang, didn't mean to make it sound like Canadians are evil....my bad.
    Steve and our other friends up North....my apologies. I'll just say some meanie from
    up North then.
    I just wonder why he never responded to my emails and I had to file a dispute.
    I'm giving him time to resolve this because his feedback is clean which is kind
    of strange. It is possible he provided the wrong tracking #, and I'll give him
    the benefit of doubt for now. I guess I'll have to look up his contact info.
    Dang it, that means more $ for me to call him image
  • Plus he spelled "color" with a "u"! Silly Canadian.image

  • Thanks Eagle Eye for adjusting your title I didnt think you were being deliberate in your title but just thought I would point out how it ended up sounding to others who are Canadian. Anyway thanks and lets move on.
