sodbuster Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I might have mentioned this before but, I ordered - through PayPal - (4) .308 P-Mags from a guy on Gunbroker.com back on 11-30-2013. He shipped them a few days later and they were subsequently lost by the losers at the USPS sorting building in Allen Park, Michigan. Cost to me was $112. The vendor said he had to start the process with USPS for the insurance money which he only paid for $50 worth. USPS requires waiting 21 days before starting paperwork to get the insurance money. So it is 1-23-2014 (54 days since paying for the mags) and the vendor is not replying to my emails. I'm starting to get a bit cranky... Am I being a Nancy about this? He says he won't do anything until USPS pays him the 50 bucks. What would you guys do? His communication skills stink. File a complaint with PayPal and Gunbroker? I paid $112 and have nothing to show for it. I say any decent vendor would get me out of the picture and make good on my order. Thanks in advance.

shepp Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Since he clammed up I was start with getting your money back thru pay pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Go through PP. Best route to take. If the guy was still talking, I'd give him a chance. Since he clammed up, file a PP dispute on his arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would have started the paypal dispute Jan 1. You can't be too patient as paypal has a limit as to how long you have to file a complaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I concur. Go through PP and get your money back. He can wait on the USPS. You don't have to after this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yup…file as SOON as there is an issue. Dude sent me the wrong brass from Gunbroker, said he was shipping out a return label. I got busy, when I next thought about it it was past GB's 30 day complaint filing window and the dude is no longer on as a registered seller.

FaRKle! Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It's the seller's responsibility to make sure the package gets to you. In the event that a package is lost you should be refunded and he should be the one having to deal with the insurance to get his money back.

sodbuster Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys! I'll start the PP proceedings tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well yikes - PayPal is no good in this situation it turns out. Gunbroker isn't that much better but filed a fraud claim to see what happens. Just complaining to them is useless. Learned a $112 lesson there..........

Dracomeister Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Because it was through the USPS you may have a mail fraud case but because the value is fairly low they may just brush you off. In any event, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
