Hi,
i dont know where to go about this and dont want a public issue.
i sold an item on here and posted it on the 1st of may. on the 7th received a paypal dispute over the item with no correspondence. i contacted him through the forum and told him i had misplaced the tracking number and had tried to find the status of the package but couldnt and asked if he would wait until the 10th to see if it arrived and if it hadnt i would refund it. he then upped it to a claim and told paypal he hadnt heard from me and demanded a refund of which i gave as i couldnt prove delivery.
since then i have found the receipt and the tracking number shows he recieved and signed for it on the 3rd, i have a copy of the signature but paypal canot stop the refund or reclaim it, due to this i am minus £50 or a set of DYE I4's inc 3 lenses however you look at it.
i have emailed him and contact the police/solicitor but thought this should be known on the forum and see if you had any advice.

Thanks, Matt

Hi, I hold my head to shame cos I got done by this guy too after selling my angel playing kit. As you have all said he did the same to me in going to Ebay resolution centre and opened a complaint without even contacting me first. he disputed the parcel never arrived but ebay sided with me and I didn't have to refund him !! So now he has opened a case through his credit card company which I intend on fighting all the way as its so obvious he is a fraudster !
He was pushy and intimidating throughout all the dealings I had with him, wish I read this first ! Im going to report him to Ebay and have already reported him to paypal... think everyone on here should do the same. My next step is the police.

what an *******. going to get what he deserves in the end i'm sure of it. since you've been personally affected as well I'd definitely go and report him to the police if you've got time, end of the day its fraud and he should pay the penalty for that.

Any News on this ?
Really hope the kid got what he deserves!
Yes, there are things going on behind the scenes. Pocoyo is aware of it, suffice to say we've got all we need to get it sorted :)

Unfortunately for the Jamie fella, he's now looking at a bill of several hundred more than what he was trying to claim........

Should post up his Ebay username so people can avoid dealing with this scammer!
Noticed his buddy, Ryan Perks, is on fb still buying things off groups and pages though.

Dusty is there a way we could have a locked section of the forum maybe as part of classifieds for this thread and the other one as warnings?

I'm sure there is but what I will do for now is sticky this and amend the title so that people can see it's clearly something to be aware of.
