What time was that palm?

[comeasyouare]

I sure hope he is aware of the implications for carrying out Internet fraud.

[comeasyouare]

decided to remove. will not let my anger take over my sanity and waste my time over this guy.

[ken shinoda]

Ok he's refunded my money. But doesn't make him a good seller anyway. Dun expect me to remove all these evidence cos you fucking caused me hours of anguish while you sleep away hoping to spend my money on those chicks you're trying to impress on your fb profile pic. Fuck you for that. Oh I almost forgot I save some pics of the two of you. And it's not over until I get an apology here and a personal apology for all the time I've wasted I might as well make a police report on the both of you it won't take an hour. How about that?

seems like quite a few members got their stuffs from him.

he has already refunded your money almost instantly, wtf you bitchin bout now? I say just forget bout it and move on. Let all this be a warning and be careful next time when dealing online.

I sent money to the user gooshi for a varsity jacket more than a month ago now and it still hasn't arrive. I have sent messages on this forum to him about it and have gotten no reply - no shipping or tracking number was provided hence there's no evidence that he's even sent the jacket. I filed a claim with paypal and still no reply from him - yet he still remains active on this forum.

Its the black/black toj varsity?

funny, I was contemplating whether to cop that, or the red/white ones by sup.reme a month ago. Went with the later, and felt that both were legit.

Can't believe both to bear similar fate, now that's creepy coincidence. Out of curiosity, where's gooshi located?

[5tranger]

Cali (patrick callaghan) - i am convinced this guy is either a crook or a waster.

great communication when i showed interest in a jacket, as soon as i paid he stopped responding to pms/emails. opened a paypal dispute 2 weeks later and he refunded me without even messaging me. then a few days later he messaged me saying he had been on vacation and forgot to post it.

i stupidly believd him and paid again. guess what. exactly the same thing happened again.gave a tracking number, but it was just a number saying he had notified the delivery company on the 7th june that they will be recieving a parcel from him. now its a month later and countless pms/emails with no response . and , of course, no jacket.

AVOID at all costs

God dam, I wish I had known this. Exact same thing has happened to me over at Styleforum, paid Cali for a pair of his boots and he had prompt reply. After payment, he would no longer reply.

Do not deal with Cali aka [email protected]

Are there any loopholes with Google Checkout? or is it safe to use?

I paid robgotsastaplerr a month ago for a pair of Quoddy boots. Since he received my payment he's been dodging my messages; he stated in our last contact that he would have a tracking number for me by today, or provide a full refund.

I have received neither the boots, a tracking number for a package, or a refund.

Due to my payment being a gift through PayPal (he requested that I pay him as a gift and I obliged), I cannot even file a dispute for the transaction. I have been contacted by people from other forums who had an unsuccessful transaction with him and the same problems.

Any advice on how I can get my money back would be greatly appreciated.

if someone ever bugs you to pay "gift," always do regular and add the 4%, without telling them. that's what i've always been doing.

After sending paypal payment, received no word from him for weeks, at which point I contact him and he says that he will ship it out soon (i.e. two weeks after payment). Never received the item. Made a claim on Paypal and had the charges reversed. Showed me a receipt which he claims was for the shipped item--even if it was, it was $9 less than what I payed for shipping.

In summary:

-Poor communication.

-IF he did ship, he overcharged and shipped two weeks late.

-Item never received.

Here's some closure on the situation:

After trying several avenues to contact the seller, he finally became aware of my discontent. He has since shipped the boots, and provided a partial refund for the inconvenience. I have received the items I purchased and they are in the condition as described.

To sum up the transaction, I think the seller is a good guy; just the timing and circumstances of the transaction made things difficult.

[younghwan91]

is soxfan sweet to deal with now?

[madstaxbro]

What to do about false advertising? I.E. Canali blazer selling for $800 but $20 RL Polo blazer gets shipped instead.

This dipshit sold Luc knits to both me and mega( the same ones), Unfortunatly mega paid by gift, I used credit card and have already opened a dispute

Will keep you all posted as to the outcome

you open an item significantly not as described case in PayPal

was it an eBay item? it may be more difficult to illustrate the difference in items to PP if it's not, as they are kinda flop like that.

i strongly urge you to call PayPal and talk to them on the phone (before, while, and after opening the dispute) as it seems to get much more done. they are more willing to help you over the phone in my experience

Following up what Cutup said above...sent payment for an item and haven't had communication since. Tried sending a number of emails/pm's asking for an update but had no replies.

[clydeflouride]

I wasnt aware paypal entertained claims for 'item not as described' unless the item was an ebay auction?

[_ironman]

i think you may be right. remember seeing something like that

check the user agreement lol

[madstaxbro]

Dang. So if I got scammed on supermarket then I'm out of luck?

[_ironman]

then you should contact admins (jimmyc, haptronic, mike_lowrey, etc.) about this, and also probably do a credit card chargeback i guess?
