Default Hypothetical rip off?!!

So....hypothetically speaking.....

You list something in classifieds.

I buy it.....send pmt.....but you are slow to ship (1 extra week beyond pmt)......so you agree to pay shipping.

Now, when I paid you, I sent the full amount....but put the paypud fee on recipient....so now you are short on that and shipping.

A couple of weeks go by because I am on vacation, but I see the package upon return.....and open it. Although it is exactly as you described it, I tell you I don't want it and to refund the money to me along with shipping for the "p.o.s" if you want it back.

Extra ripple......let's say it an electronic device.

I email you and pm you "privately" so as not to embarrass you on oso.

You find out that even before I contacted you, I started a dispute with paypal......and by now....I have your device and your money.

What would you do?

if I followed all of this hypothetical situation you have your money back and the POS that was sent you ?? send the POS back and chalk it up to another POS trying to sell a POS

Go to the beware section and "hypothetically" post the member and the whole story. This could be a seller beware. I know many people including myself have dealt with you on here and how fair and honest you are. So this other person is to blame, no doubt.

Let me understand this. Seller was slow to ship so he paid for shipping, he got shafted on PayPal fees, you got part "Although exactly as described" now you don't want it, so you then took his money and still have the parts? Did he say he takes returns?

Am I missing something?

I'm en route to Cape Coral.... Please have pictograms or a dry erase board ready. I'll pick Phragle up on my way through Ohio. Phragle, pack beer. We will either be drunk, or have it all figured out by then. I'm guessing the former, but miracles happen.

Seriously though, I'd politely ask whoever the frack has the device to return it on their dime (with a tracking number), and if they didn't, I'd meander over to the "Beware and Stolen" section.
