Paypal Disputes..., on ebay .. not with anyone here Options

[kash1355]

I was just wondering if anyone has gone through a paypal dispute? If so, what happened ..like did anyone escalate the claim so that paypal would review the situation. I just wanna know if I should do that yet .. it's been 15 of 20 allowed days and no solution..

i bought an AEM EMS off of ebay

paypalled the seller(forcefedracingnv) $1047.

two weeks went by with out any contact or item. i emailed them a few times and called and left messeges. i filed a dispute with paypal. the seller was given 10 days to respond to paypal. at about day 5 or 6 he emailed me giving a story about how there was a family emergency and no one was left to run the shop. he also said that i could buy anything i wanted from him and he would just charge me his cost.

i replied telling him that i understood and that that is why i had not filed bad feedback with ebay. it was also right around the time that my father past away, and i was in no mood to wait, with out any communication when it was the most expensive thing i had bought on ebay. so i said that it was all ok and asked for a price quote on some parts.

the seller never replied. he also forgot to respond to paypal and the 10 days past up. paypal automatically settled the distpute in my favor. the only problem was there was only $837(or somewhere around there) in the sellers account so paypal gave me all of that. the rest came in check form from the seller after almost 2 months of phone calls and threats of small claims court.

but yea, they are no longer a registered user on ebay. i think it is because another person got ripped off at the same time i did. he bought a cylinder head from them. it took 3 months to get it and when it arrived it was damaged and missing parts.

if he has proof that he shipped the item, it is likely that they will side with the seller.
