Help! Seller threatening to come to my house over Paypal dispute!

surfbabe10

The belt was clearly fake as soon as it arrived, I certainly didnt fake a letter from the shop to get my money back, I drove a 50 round trip with my 8 month old daughter to get proof it was counterfeit. And even giving the seller the benefit of the doubt and she didnt know it was fakewhen she sold it, if I had sold something I would of accepted it back and I certainly wouldnt be sending someone intimidating emails and been abusive. How can you justify someone behaving like that. Paypal are the ones she should be contacting not me and according to paypal she has not been in touch. If you read both Paypal and Ebays rules if you have a counterfeit item they both request that you destroy it so it can not be sold on. I dont see how me putting it in a charity bag (above poster) smells a bit funny

You bought them and then got your money back. Did it not once occur to you that destroying an item might lead to this? Whatever Ebay or Paypal request, it's not the right thing to do. You have received fake goods. You contact paypal, then destroy them. You then get threatend by the vendor. Your response is to go on a forum and ask advice.
The people with the correct answers are easily available. Trading Standards for the first prolem, the police for the second. You pay a good lump to have them available, use them.
Putting them in a charity bag could get someone else in the mire. I know people who ebay in a small way who trawl such shops for things to sell.
Should this woman go the legal route - she would have a good case. And now, because of this "advice" from paypal, she is free to go on doing it.
I'm not condoning her behaviour, just crtiicising yours.

Macfly is talking rubbish if by some silly reason the person did go to court over you destroying the item *which is even ore unlikely than them turning up on your doorstep) You have the letter proving it was fake also the item was destroyed to stop it appearing on the market again. No judge would rule against you

macfly seems to enjoy trolling the board in order to get reaction out of people. So I assume the schools are still on holiday

I get the same impression as you about macfly. I only wanted a bit of advice not criticism wish I had nt bothered! Macfly get a life I am not wasting my time on your pathetic posts any more go interfere on another thread thats if your already not

Tell her to go to the Paypal offices and take it up with them seeing as it was they who advised you to dispose of the belt.

GabbaGabbaHey

Macfly seems to me to be the only one who is talking any sense here.

Ebay still not contacted me back, dont want to ring them as their call centre is based abroad and advisors arent to good at english!

I did originally go to trading standards but chose not to follow it up.

I had to sign a document from ebay and fax it back to prove I had destroyed the belt. I just put it in charity bag.

So if I have this right:
1) The original poster wouldn't progress things through eBay because of some prejudices they have about overseas call centres.
2) They then went to Trading Standards, but for some unknown reason didn't follow it up.
3) They then lied to eBay about destroying the belt, whilst putting it in a charity bag. (And what exactly were the charity expected to do? Sell it in their shop and risk being prosecuted for selling fake goods? Or take on the expense of disposing of it?)

The charity will sell it and it will probably be bought again by someone who will list it on ebay.:rotfl:
