I am starting to get a little frustrated about a deal I have made with a member on this forum whom I am going to keep anonomiss till the time is right. I had some parts listed on this site for sale, and this gentleman replied to the post sent a bunch of emails back and forth. We had agreed on a price that included shipping well when I went to shipp these pieces it was twice the amount that we agreed on. I looked all over to get a better deal on shipping it wasnt happening. I then contacted the purchaser to tell them what was going on and gave the person some options which I still have the emails.
1st option would be I will refund imediatelly the purchasers money back to them in the same manner that they sent it to me which was western union the money would be available the next day.
2nd option he could pay the difference of the cost of shipping which would be 55.00
He asked if I could continue with the transaction and he would send me out a money order/check for the balance and that he thought initially it was to cheap to ship. He then asked if he could send a check/money order in order to save the western union fees I agreed figured the guy already sent me money on the good faith that I would send him the parts so I figured I could extend the same. He then asked me if I can send them while waiting to recieve the payment I agreed I did not want to hold him up. I paid the xtra money sent them out I also paid 30.00 for some very good boxes to send them out in.
Well I still have not seen the money that he said he sent out on 4-17-2009 I send emails it takes a day to get any replies when the deal was first going down I would recieve promt responses not anymore. I was told if I did not recieve by Mon 4-27-2009 he would get me another out right away. Well that day has passed now so now I get a reply that he just returned back from Vegas. He will put a search on for the payment and get back to me and that he recieved the parts but has not been able to look at them yet. he will check the parts and get back to me. Color me crazy but is he going to start to say he was not happy with the parts and maybe I will never see the remainder of the money owed?
I did send pictures with a good discription of the parts and where there were any damages he was happy with the pictures. Now maybe it's just me in a parinoid state maybe this guy is on the up & up but maybe hes preparing me for the inevitable? But I did give the option to send a full refund including the fees he paid to have western union handle the transaction. So what do you think am I being unreasonable or is this something I should be concerned about?
