I bought a 3 set of ratchets from "him/her/"it",,,,and was never marked sold on his post. I offered $110 and "it" accepted.

So you got one of the ratchet sets I did. I am sure there are others that got one or both of the sets like I did. I also got the pry bars...strangely after sending the money I started to think why so cheap? I think after I buy for some reason.

Open a claim with paypal....gift or regular purchase doesn't matter. I did gift and when I called they said I am absolutely covered because I used paypal. I did see the blurb about gifts not being covered on the paypal site, but I think it may refer to some other type of coverage. I have to wait 10 days for northcountry to resolve or paypal will put it back in my account on day 11.

Keep bumping this thread up so those who are working see it when they get home.

I am past 20mins. I did ask a mod to contact him and see what he is doing. I think I might be waiting the 10 days and getting it from paypal instead of him.

I encourage everyone to contact Paypal no matter how you paid. Just got off the horn with them and they said to tell everyone to report their transactions.

I'm out $235, so add that to the total. Local police love tracking down scammers like this, especially when the ammounts add up! (Plus they are SO easy to track down for the police)

Also of concern is the screwdriver pic. Look familiar? He stole that too from eBay seller beachtoolsoc!

I work hard for my cash, yet am very generous. I've donated to forum members multiple times, and always willing to help with the little I have. However, that leaves me with no patience for nonsense like this. If you need a buck ask, take it, Well, that makes me sadddddd.

I have an adress that I sent the SO breaker bar to, but will not put it out to the public. IF it comes to mods or people directly affected I will help them out though....

Hate to beat a dead horse, but we hardly had any issues like this when we could post things like "PM sent", or "Money sent" on classifieds...kept the riff raff at bay......just saying.:thumbup:

Not sure how this needs to happen with a forum with so many people being scammed. It's obviously at a felony $ amount. Should a mod contact the pd on our behalf or should we do it for each of our own cases?

Do you have a different address than was posted already...15 Williams st? I was scammed for $275 and would like to call the local PD. I just don't want to start every sentence with "I think" when I call.

That's the address I have, did not see that it was already posted. Seems maybe he got into a financial bind with the new kid, no excuse for lying though....just hope he gets his **** together and realizes he now has another person absolutely relying on him for the the foreseeable future....:dunno:

He isn't answering PM's either, but I am sure he is reading them. I guess potentially losing his job and possibly his freedom isn't as important as the money he stole. It's only going to get worse due to the dollar amount and number of people involved. He can't hide. His address is out there. He is tied to his kids registry (which makes me sad I even saw that) if it's his. Not sure how many Charles Harringtons are in the area. I have a feeling the 15 Williams st is his employer possibly. His bio says he's a pipe fitter or something like that. Quality heating and plumbing might employ some of them....

Not sure what else to say that hasn't been already. I am just waiting on some people to get back to me and I will call the PD to at least file a report. Then I will see if the attorney general has any recourse or advice. Once I do I will let you guys know.

Paypal can't be too happy either. Wonder if he does this on ebay?

Based on the multiple complaints, I am curious when you accuse others of the same.

In other news, there are reasons to create a feedback thread for yourself!

Weeks, you paid on a friday and I told you I was out of town and would ship when I got back, you provide no shipping address so I had to wait for you to provide that, after that it was another 2 business days as I was away for work travel for you item to ship. Had you paid on the day you said you would it would have gone out before I left for vacation.

I just got a pm saying you would refund me a few minutes ago. We are all honest hard working people that share a common thread. Nobody would be mad if you didn't have the stuff. Just be honest. Don't take money before you even get the items or don't have them at all. None of us want to lose money. That's the bottom line.

Not sure how you can deflect this off on others. There's people that have been waiting for a few weeks for stuff that have received no communication. You made a mistake. You said you would fix it. Despite a thread calling you out, you came on and voiced your view. If everything is resolved then we are happy.

I got the same promise of payment... we shall see.

I'd love to know his ebay account name- perhaps he is a powerseller with thousands of positive feedbacks... lol!

what is your excuse for selling the same tool to multiple people ?

what is your excuse for not responding multiple to PM's, even when read receipts were used and the sender could see you read them ?

what is your excuse for stopping all communication as soon as you had our money in your account ?

Unless you are a person that has purchased something from NorthCountry please refrain from fueling the fire. He is communicating and people have received refunds apparently. To lesson anymore confusion can the ones that have purchased something and would like a refund please chime in or PM me so I can PM NorthCountry about speeding up that process?

Please read post# 68 before commenting further everyone.
We have enough information on four pages here for everyone to make an informed decision about purchasing from NorthCountry going forward.

Hello Everyone,
12:20 pm and I'm on break at work and have not heard back from northcountry at all.
If you have purchased from him and not received your goods I suggest you file a claim with Paypal. I have PM'd him to not post anything else for sale until this is resolved and locked his current other for sale threads.
Also I would never pay via the gift option and I'm a seller, part of doing business IMHO.
Best Regards,
Jason aka wrenchr. :)

It is now 2/20/14 and no one has had contact with NorthCountry.
Paypal is now refunding the money owed.
