Early August 7th

OK, something a little different here, and I am going out on a limb a little by putting his username in. The Ebay username is happyharry.03

In mid May, I had to fly back to the UK in a bit of a hurry to visit my dad. In order to take some of the financial worries out of it, we decided to sell some old jewelry on Ebay. All went fine. We set the auction up and it was all completed and the man paid up straight away.. Great stuff, right? We left the feedback saying how good he was.
21 days later, after a little back and forth on email, Paypal refunded his money to him and left us in negative balance. He said he never received the package. Now, my mistake was in listening to his tale of woe and in sending the package with insurance, but no tracking. This was because the tracking is a different service and would have cost us 10 times the amount, and the buyer said he couldn't afford it. so he asked us to send it on the cheap.
Here's where it gets interesting. Puff started looking into this and discovered another person who had identical trouble with the same buyer. She emailed him and the story is identical. We all then started looking into it and this person has had over 20 disputes in the past 7 months and has been refunded every single time.
I have Canada Post on the case now, and I have informed the Australian Revenue people that he cannot possibly be declaring all his income because he would be showing as earning on stolen goods.
I have also been in touch with Payscam... sorry, Paypal, and they are as much use as a fridge light to a blind man. They say, effectively, tough luck, pay us our money. I say no. They have already sicced the debt collectors onto me, and we have been bombarded with phone calls, and they even duped my son into giving them my cell number. They only called that one once though..LOL. They also seem to have gone quiet on the landline, touch wood.
I will not accept any paperwork from them unless issued by a lawcourt, and only then after there is a date set in Steinbach Court, as I will have a counterclaim against them all ready to file. that is the only way to get them into court.
I have many emails and may open a page just for them when I can work out how you do it. They are all on the website anyway, or almost all. I just received a couple more in response to my latest requests for the return of my stuff..
Here is a sample..

Dear rmen1200,

Stop the emails as i said I do not have your item never received and also told Canadian post the same and they thanked me as well you just do not understand that I never received your item and as for you getting this Sharron ***** involved and finding details of the area I live you both have no scruples and a copy of that email was forwarded to ebay along side a copy of this one and my reply IF YOU TRULY SENT IT THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRACK IT AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES Your friend Troy did the wrong thing and I gave Customs the go ahead to return it over 3 weeks ago NOW DO NOT CONTACT ME ANY FURTHER FIND YOUR GOODS AND RESELL THEM IF YOU TRULY DID HAVE ANY TO START WITH AND DO NOT PUT THE NICE IMAGE AND SEND THIS THROUGH EBAY WHEN YOU AND SAMEASITEVERWAS ETC SELLERS ARE ON A MISSION JUST TO BE TROUBLE MAKERS As I also will take as far as I have too REST ASSURED
