snap on tools

[mikronwf2]

we bought and paid $ 150 for a set of snap on tools from a seller on this site.
asked a number of times for a shipping receipt or prove of shipping and never got an answer.only statement was " us postal service must have lost it."
sellers e-mail [email protected]
and also goes under [email protected]
i live in australia but had the tools shipped to a friend of mine in kansas.
pretty sad that this kind of stuff goes on.

So, what was the seller's user name? And how did you pay? Was it someone who answered one of your wanted ads?

 

[mikronwf2]

yes seller contacted me.paid with paypal. name of seller sherry.
contacted the person an number of times and for the last few weeks
have not heard back.paypal does not help tried that.
as i said,it is a shame, but that is the new online world we live in.

If the the sellers user name is indeed sherry, he has only been a member on here since 7-2-2020 and has no posts and last visited the site on 7-2-2020. So it looks to me like you didn't see the obvious red flags. Did you pay with friends and family option or gift option?

look no need to get upset i know i lost the money and will not
buy tools online from individual sellers anymore lesson learned.
i hope the guy or girl is happy having scammed an other individual.

If you used paypal and paypal took their fee, then let them go to bat for you - don't let up on them.

I get that they didn't have a long history here but then again, neither do you...

I've been "taken" from people here... it *****, but they lost a potential customer by selling me a broken tool as good... 99% of folk on the classifieds are upstanding folk. I have a few I've bought from over and over again, because they're dead honest and I trust them. There's one I'll never deal with again, still have the piece of trash he sold me on top of my toolbox to remind me... and it was more than $150...

First couple times I ALWAYS do the business hing and pay the fees, because I don't know them from Adam. They work out, fine, they scam and scum out, fine. Once we've done business a few times, we're all good.

Thing is, if it was from here, they have a user name and I would think they'd do the right thing, but then again we have, what 30K-40K members active here... so I'm trying to figure out where you're going with this.

tried to talk to paypal.they will not help period.
don't forget i live in australia and the the tools were supposed to be send to
a friend of mine in kansas.at any rate it is what it is.
thank you for all post's though.
