Seller ripping me off 1015usd!! Whats best way to try get funds back??
Hi folks,
What is the best way to get a paypal manual send a payment, money back?
The payment was with a credit card through paypal so not via paypal account funds.
(Type: Service)
Would a paypal dispute do the job or try a chargeback through the bank first?
First, this may help give you an idea what happened ...
A paypal payment of 290euro/480usd was sent from myself for shipping cost
from Germany to Uk.Thats right 480usd just for shipping costs!!Thats not all though ....
I had ordered unique tropical live fish breeders of a website called aquabid which
the 2xfish cost 350usd alone.The seller is in Thailand who sent the fish parcel to
a transhipper in Germany who was responsible for getting the wetpets over here
to Scotland so i dont think the Thai supplier is at fault here but just the German shipper.
What happened is, the german transhipper named Jan tried sending via TNT on Tue.
Tnt collected the parcel but 2hrs later they came back to Jan and said couldnt send
live fish after they already received my 480usd payment.
No refund from TNT or via Jan for the 480usd so Im already out of pocket for Jans
mistake. Now Jan has requested another paypal payment of 535usd for shipping cost
even though it was his mistake 100% in failing the first time.
I have already sent him an email that i feel i being ripped off here and a whole load
more but dont wanna bore ya with them small details...
Ive set my mind on not receiving the wetpets, too much hassle now and too much
money so would prefer to get a refund but hes not willing to refund for his own
mistake, what would be the best way to get money back for the shipping costs?
Also would have to try get 350usd refund for the 2x fish alone which is a different
guy altogether.
I first ordered and made payment to the Thai seller in June so we have been looking
for a reputable transhipper since then, just over 4months of me waiting too come too
this being ripped off.
The best part was if i were to make another shipping payment of 530usd, Jan would
attempt to send the 2x live fish to Edinburgh airport.Edinburgh is in Scotland and no
Scottish airports accept live fish.
I know this since ive tried importing live fish to Scotland before and its strictly
prohibited and against the law and they never will make it past the Xray scans in
the airport.When they find out theres live fish in a parcel, they do not allow you too
collect instead they confiscate it and terminate, kill it!!
So this guy expects me to pay a total of 1015usd for shipping costs to an airport that
does not accept live fish and will kill them immediatley!!
I cant see how people can do this kinda stuff with no regret whatsoever ... hopefully with
your help can try least get back some of my money and I will name and shame this guy
on several fish forums too make sure nobody gets screwed!
