Blatantly lying to get a refund, and I have no choice :-(

Sorry fella for the sweeping generalisation - emotions high, and I had a £5 nicked out of a birthday card last week, which is annoying as a previous postie of ours made national news for is lightfingers! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/3903273.stm

In reality I do have a high respect for the Post Office, but I know some of their recruitment checking process is not the most robust.

i can concur on that,especially with the new part time only policy

Couple of points:-

Are you 100% sure it was on box? I once nearly sent a empty box to Italy it was only when they weighed it at PO that I realised (and I would not have believed the buyer..scary!!).

But in general I would concur with the others if you feel buyer is at it. Let them run to a dispute (OK so you will probably lose but better going down fighting).

I'm sorry to say that I would NEVER put cash in the post these days - send a cheque next time!!

Of course you could always forward him the disc recorded delivery, which would prove delivery. If you were to forget to put the disc in a second time that would be unfortunate

It was only 2.99 and an unconfirmed address, so all I have is proof of postage, not delivery.

I have emailed saying that it was probably a theiving scrote from the Royal Mail, so I will be making a claim, and they will contact him independently to confirm the details.

Having now seen the email address, the guy is a chav of monumental proportions. A long winded addy that shows he is in to customising his Mk4 fiesta. !!!!!!.

The sort of chavvy type that mis-spells " thieving " and uses word that aren't in any dictionary then ..i.e. "scrote" and "!!!!!!". :rolleyes: :A

A pedantantic troll has found something to chew on. Thank you for your constructive contribution.

Actually, they are in a dictionary

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/!!!!!!

and

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scrote

alooof

by that logic kjesrlkjasfjlasf could be in the dictionary, its not hard to edit a wiki is it?


if you have evidence (or suspect) that this has happened before, report him to ebay/paypal and see what they can do

Both wiki entries were created in 2005....!

I've got the buyer to email me the details so I can make a claim against RM. It may as well have been written by a chimp for what use it may be, but I have issued a refund and been left a positive, although I have not replied yet. I have reported to eBay and had an automated response. I've also contacted a few other members listed on his feedback to see what they have to say.
