Bottom line, I think this douchebag is bluffing. He's just trying to get his money back and get a free item out of it. Don't give in to his bullshit. This is the dangers of selling to random idiots on the internet. The fact that he told you that he doesn't care about Paypal and is just threatening you with verbal abuse and possible physical abuse is proof that he has NOTHING. He is just trying to scare you to the point that you will give in and send his money back to him. Then he has the item and his money. Fuck him. Let Paypal work it out, if he continues to harrass you, I would work with the cops to get this sorted out. You might need to file a police report of some sort and have it on record. This would help you in the longrun if some sort of legal proceedings had to follow. You could also contact AT&T to get your number changed (I know it's a pain, but might be worth it). Funny story, I was being stalked and harrassed by an ex-girlfriend and her friends via voicemails and texts. I contacted my phone company, they changed my number for free provided I showed them proof of the harrassment. I think they only allow you do to it once every year or something for free, then if it's more often you have to pay, I'm not sure. I think I was with Verizon at the time, so not sure how AT&T works. @ THE_TECH: I don't think Ateam read the actual OP... Nowhere in it did persian admit to sending the wrong item. He said he MAY have possibly, but he doesn't recall sending the wrong item. The asshole is just saying it is wrong, but won't send it back and won't send any proof. This douchebag is just trying to scare persian into giving in and sending money back so he gets a free item. This is the problem you run in to with asses on the internet that think they are anonymous.

For example, I ship large items for sellers who don't know how/don't want to do it/etc etc for a mere $10/hour. My gf makes more than $10/hour sitting behind her desk at work lol. Those who have shipped exhausts and other large items know it's a real PITA and worth more than $10/hour, but I don't do it for the $ Quote:

I'm not a law person.... I read the Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort But I don't see how this would even apply to this situation?

But he never showed me good proof that I did... Reason I don't want to post the item is then people can easily find the thread. This way, it'll take a little bit of work lol. Member KRUZN335 bought the same thing, as I had 2 of them left over from a recent car purchase (well, my family's purchases, but same thing right?). The dealer gives (well this one does), this item with every new car purchase. Also, i don't think I can refund him now that a full dispute is under investigation right? I have no issue giving him the $ so he just goes away, but I'm not paying him his $45, and then have even the 1% chance paypal says I need to "refund" him, meaning he gets $90 Now that's just plain wrong Quote:
The main number at top isn't his real number, it's the number google voice has used to connect us (is that's the number you're referring to?). I don't give out my personal actual cell number...

That's some retarded ass shit man, sorry to hear it's happening to you of all people on here! Remember that thread that popped up like a month ago where some idiot hit a guy in his M3 and after exchanging info they realised the other guy had previous convictions of pretty high caliber.. It's gone on for long enough but if it continues until tonight then definitely head down the courts and get a restraining order, you could laugh about it with your friends and think he's a nut job, but then again he could be the nut job that comes all the way to your house and breaks the door down just for his $45.
Stay safe bro |

Hell, at this point, I don't care even if I didn't make a mistake... but I don't think paypal will let me do anything until their investigation is done? Yes Hence the note about he doesn't have enough posts to send a PM, and 0 iTrader I am done with helping members out who have 0 iTrader and limited posts. Done with it. Quote:
So how am I suppose to know I'll get it back after I refund him? I have no leverage at all then Paypal rule states that the buyer has to pay for return shipping, at least this is what the paypal rep told me No real need to change my actual # as he only knows my g-voice #, not my personal cell. and that number is easy to change if need be So is there any merit against the legal stuff? As I said before, I don't know anything when it comes to law, that is not my field. Quote:
Even with a restraining order, he can still come by.... I seriously have no issue giving his $ back and shutting him up. But he opened a fking dispute without even trying to be reasonable (i don't appreciate threads/harassment... if he wasn't rude I'd have refunded him almost instantly)

Since you said he has your address, I would contact the authorities right away. Ensure they know the magnitude of the situation and they see all of the threats you got from this guy. Tell them that you are concerned for your safety because he has your address. I guarantee he will NOT send the item back after he gets the refund. That's not the way it works in real life anyway! I bought curtains yesterday from Walmart that don't quite match the color I thought I wanted in my living room. I can't call Walmart and tell them I want my money back, then I'll bring the item in... I go to customer service with the item in hand, process the receipt, and then I get my money back. This guy is living in some fantasy if he thinks you need to refund him before you get the item back. It's good that he doesn't have your real number. I thought for a second he did. Can you somehow disconnect the google vouice number thing so it doesn't send you the texts anymore? I would do that temporarily at least to avoid the conversations with him until the dispute is resolved.

QUOTE] And you have his address. Just let him know that you have his address as well and a lot of people know about this situation. Advise that his address has been provided to a lot of really large friends and that if anything happens to you or any of your property those people will make use of the address they have been provided. No wait, that is probably really bad advise, but it sure would be fun to see how he responds... |

First thoughts that come to mind
-Is this guy like 16 working minimum wage where $45 means alot to him -Is he scamming to get his money back and keep the goods -Is he generally just a person with mental health issues If there is any level of reasonableness in him he will calm down and realise you are following the correct procedure given the situation.

But then he can easily email me right? Tell me if this is harassment on my part: (I'm paraphrasing) 'your texts come in pieces and are illegible, can you resent them please?" (this was when I first got them and didn't have time to decipher them I advised him to send me something legible I told him I'd have easily refunded it if he had been respectful and talked to me prior to taking this to paypal (he did email me before making the paypal claim, but he didn't even respond to my response, which was sent minutes after I got his email, and simply opened the claim) "I'm trying to communicate with you and understand what you're trying to say, but it's not my fault your texts come in pieces and are illegible) "you can't expect me to do anything if I can't understand you" [note how I keep asking him to send me something legible? He's completely stopped responding after sending his threats/harassment texts) "okay now I'm really confused, you sent me multiple (15) text messages tonight, and all I ask is for you to tell me what you're saying and you ignore me?" "you seem to talk big..and say various things (wish I knew exactly what you're trying to convey though) but don't clarify them? what the heck? you don't make any sense" "seems clear to me you don't have an interest life since you are spending so much time over $45. tbh, i had completely forgotten about this as I DGAF about the item or the $. you seriously seem to have some issues. may i advice you to consult a physician? maybe a psychiatrist? just simple friendly suggestions since you don't make any sense to me" note these are paraphrases, I don't use acronyms and do my best to make full complete sentences when texting.

So this guy bought some wheel locks from you and didn't bother to check to see if they would fit his car? He needs to send them back before you can refund him.

Since you sold him something with paypal and shipped it to him give paypal your tracking # showing that it was delivered and you should be eligible for their seller protection program.
Check into that with paypal. Hope it helps. |

my only point was being that he knows where you live and obviously sounds crazy, to me it would be worth losing 45 bucks for peace of mind that he will not do something insane or continue to stalk you. If he is bluffing than you lose 45 bucks either way but even if you are not in the wrong at all, think of it as paying 45 bucks to get rid of the problem and just let him keep the darn stuff and be done with it. Just my .02. Antatognizing crazy people is not worth it for 45 bucks

Here's the deal. If you messed up and sent the wrong thing you owe him a refund of the purchase price, original shipping cost, and return shipping costs.
If you sent the right thing and are offering a refund, you only owe him the purchase price and he eats the shipping both ways. The buyer must always return the item first before getting any money back from the seller. Just tell him to send the thing back on his dime and if it was the wrong item you'll do the first thing I mentioned above, if it's the right one, you'll do the second. This is standard practice for any business. If the buye doesn't like it, tell him there is a nice famouse bridge in Pasadena that he can go jump off of. |

I've had this happen to me before over a sale of a book worth $0.99 on Amazon. He claimed I sent the wrong book and demanded that I send him the correct book while keeping the first book I sent because he didn't want the inconvenience of sending it back.. Without letting me fix the problem, he immediately went to file a claim with Amazon deteriorating my seller rating. This guy harassed and threatened me over e-mail for a week. After day 2, I said fuck it and refunded all of the $0.99 and I even gave him an extra $2.00 for him to find and buy another book. I countered his dispute and just moved on.
Honestly, people like this are just a bunch of pussies that will continue to talk. If I were you, I'd want him to come over so I could kick his face in. On top of that, if you do have money and manage a company, you know that $45.00 or $0.99 isnt worth your trouble both in time and mental health... Fine you loose $45.00 in the end.. Its not worth loosing that 10-15% of your energy and getting upset over this loser. Since you've let PP take over the dispute, let PP take care of the claim. If he keeps bugging you, just refund him and move on.. From what it seems, I really don't think he will come to your front door and do shiet to you.... |

but I didn't see an option to refund him after he did the dispute Quote:
I told him to send it back and I'll refund him. No way am I refunding without getting it back Anyways, I called paypal again. Told them I don't want to deal with him...so they advised me to close the dispute and have the buyer return the item and then he receives a refund. If the buyer doesn't provide tracking within X amount of days, case closed and I keep the $45 If he provides tracking, and I receive the wrong item, then I can open up a claim/dispute from my end for seller protection She mentioned that since I'm a top customer etc, that I should have no problem(s) etc She said that if I was an actual business (like say IND or EAS or something), I'd have a much stronger case, but since I'm an individual and not a business, the case isn't as strong Honestly I don't care anymore. I just want him to go away and leave me alone. I'll file a police report though, that's easy right?
