Buyer Opened a Claim. Closed it. Now harassing me...

Nov 5, 2009 2:28 PM
I hope someone out there can advise me. I recently sold a Pub Light, buyer paid same day then called the next day upset that he hadn't received it yet. The light shipped the following day with tracking. The same day it was delivered buyer opened a dispute, escalated it to a claim, & left Neg FB indicating it was broken when it arrived. He also shipped a pkg to me within 30 minutes of receiving his item, however the weight was different than my original package to him so I contacted and indicated I would pursue legal recourse if he was sending me ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIS ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Next day he closed the claim with Paypal indicating the issue had been resolved.

I received the package and just as I thought, it was a completely different light all together...But since the shipment, he has messaged and called me at my business at least 40 times. He said if I don't reimburse him in full he will reopen the case (claim) and I will lose my right to sell anything on EBay in the future.

To make a long story longer....I have heard from 2 other sellers he has done business with that they have had similar experiences with him!!! Anyone have any suggestions? Can he reopen that claim? Would I be better off just to refund, let him keep the light and write it off as a rotten experience?? Any advise would be appreciated.

Buyer closed the dispute/claim.

Case closed.
Add 'em to your BBL and ignore any future emails from them.

I don't think he can open another PP claim.

I would not refund him one dime.

Check his toolhaus...not very pretty.

No, he cannot reopen the claim and please don't refund the buyer, it'll only encourage them and good for you for not letting them take advantage..

You can report their emails to their ISP and contact their Police department if they are making threats.

I recently sold a Pub Light, buyer paid same day then called the next day upset that he hadn't received it yet..
FARFETCHED.
The light shipped the following day with tracking. The same day it was delivered buyer opened a dispute, escalated it to a claim, & left Neg FB indicating it was broken when it arrived..
HE HADN'T RECEIVED IT YET
He also shipped a pkg to me within 30 minutes of receiving his item.
IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW
The weight was different than my original package to him so I contacted and indicated I would pursue legal recourse.
DIDN'T OPEN IT. FARFETCHED.
Next day he closed the claim with Paypal indicating the issue had been resolved.
MISTAKENLY CONFUSED YOU WITH ANOTHER SELLER ?
I received the package and just as I thought, it was a completely different light all together...
FINALLY OPENED IT AFTER HE CLOSED THE CASE.
He said if I don't reimburse him in full he will reopen the case.
YEP, IF IT WAS BROKE
I will lose my right to sell anything on EBay in the future. .
NO
To make a long story longer....I have heard from 2 other sellers he has done business with that they have had similar experiences with him!
I.D.'S ARE HIDDEN.
Anyone have any suggestions?.
SEE IF THE BUYER HAS YOU CONFUSED WITH ANOTHER SELLER. LOTS OF CUNFUSION AND MISTRUTHS IN THIS POST.

What if the DC shows delivered and a shipping notification indicates label was printed 30 minutes later? Not impossible.

Not in feedback.

SEE IF THE BUYER HAS YOU CONFUSED WITH ANOTHER SELLER.

See buyer's feedback. He seems to confuse lots of sellers if this is true.

Which post? The OP, or yours?

Not sure I understand what you mean but maybe I wasn't clear. I had packaged the light and delivered it to UPS for shipping 2 days after the sale. He started calling 1 day after the sale wanting to know where his light is??? He didn't open the claim until the day it was delivered to him according to UPS tracking scanner. And again, according to UPS tracking/scanning he shipped a package to me that same day approximately 30 minutes after my package was delivered to him. It made me wonder if he had a pkg ready to go and had the driver pick it up at the same time mine was delivered??? However, the package he sent to me was almost 2 pounds lighter than the one I sent him.

When I opened the package he sent back it was a little broken Coors Light neon, I shipped to him a Corona Light Neon.

The sellers that contacted me had been watching the feedback he was leaving for others and that's how they identified me.

I'm not a big seller on Ebay but I still don't want to lose my chance to do it. I'm guessing your thoughts are reimburse him, scammer or not???

Just read his toolhaus myself. "Not very pretty" is the understatement of the year, especially for his Feedback Left. The guy sounds batty.

I hate to sound like an idiot but what is a toolhaus??? I buy more than I sell here and have never had any problems so unfortunately, I never educated myself very well on EBay Lingo.

He's screwed. He closed the claim and can't reopen.

He cannot reopen his Paypal claim, so most likely, this is over (except for the bazillion emails and probably phone calls from the buyer, which you can and should ignore).

Watch out for a chargeback though! Those can happen up to 6 months after the purchase.
