Alex.Pace Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Does any of you know an intellivision collector named Samuel Green, living in Taylor, Michigan? He opened an ebay dispute, then received an item of mine, forgot to close the dispute and ebay stupidly gave him back about 211$ (ebay told me that it cannot do anything and i have to ask the money again to the buyer). He doesn't answer my emails. I already contacted a lawyer collegue of mine in US, but before opening a lawsuit i want to be certain that he's trying to fraud me and not (i.e.) that he's ill or happened something to him. Thank you, Alessandro Pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Can you start a Paypal dispute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 No i cant, ebay already (stupidly) closed it. I cannot open paypal dispute in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Anyway if I don't resolve this problem I warn you to not sell Samuel Green anything, or you risk to lose your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Are you able to provide us with more exact details on what exactly happened ? And what is his username ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 His ebay account is sammer317. He bought two items, i sent them in a package. He opened two disputes (one for each item) after about 25 days. He then received the package. He closed a dispute for one of the items and left a positive feedback for it, then disappeared. Ebay (as the second item dispute was left opened) closed it and refunded him part of the price (about 211$t) I appealed giving also tracking number and proof of the package was received, but appeal was rejected. That's all. Alessandro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well if you have to go through with the law suit, keep in mind that any transaction done over the internet that becomes fraud is a Federal offense rather than a state offense. Kind of scares people when you mention that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'll wait some days, hoping that the buyer had a problem which impeded him to answer. If someone knows him and can contact him, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ebay did the same thing to me with my ONLY shipment to Brazil. Dispute opened - Item arrived - Money Refunded. Ebay saw it arrived but said I had to ask the customer to pay me. I am less likely to ship to France, Italy and Greece for their sometimes legendary mail delays. Any how I lost a Tutankham and a Super Cobra to that asshat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ebay is run by idiots, because I also provided tracking number. The buyer also confirmed the arrival of the package. Now the buyer sent me back money, telling that because it took a month for the package to arrive he took a month to give back my money. He also said I was a bad communicator, ME, that i sent him 15 messages without answer.... I suggest to stay away from Samuel Green / sammer317.

+Lathe26 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 ... It will come in handy to block happiestsellerever once I start listing some items. Have you had trouble with happiestsellerever as a buyer or do you just not like his selling practices? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Have you had trouble with happiestsellerever as a buyer or do you just not like his selling practices? Just curious. No issues with buying from him. Can't say either way because I'd never buy anything from him. Very much detest his selling practices and would never knowingly allow anything in my collection to reach his greedy mitts for resale. I've got 4-5 big resellers I would block even if doing so costs me money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenetixJ Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Alex, it seems that shipping from your country is slow and expensive. Perhaps you should change shipping fees and use another company? Or maybe state that shopping will take up to 3 months? I know I have been waiting over two months for my purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.Pace Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Did the package arrive, right? In italy we have only a company to ship with a decent price, others cost too much:) Indeed shipping time cannot be predicted. Sometimes is 15days, others is 45 days. But it always arrive.

+intellivotion Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) In my experience, the packages are stopped at the customs. It seems like the customs toward and outward Italy are quite strict. Packages shipped by me to the US, for example, reach regularly the customs and then they are stopped. They stay there for awhile (I mean for days, if not for weeks in some unfortunate cases) and then are forwarded to destination. The same for packages shipped from outside of EU to Italy.A clue that the issue is with the customs is that if you ship an envelope with, for example, a couple of Intelligentvision catalogs ( ) it's "treated" as a simple letter and is delivered in 7-9 working days (that is not bad for Intercontinental shipping, isn't it? EDIT: Sometimes the envelopes from Mark Thompson take even less than 7 working days).I blame the customs. I don't know if this is related to the trade agreements between the 2 countries.
