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

I did that once and inadvertently contacted the person I had been in dispute with...they had been shill bidding an item...doh!!

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

Even if you had proof of delivery paypal would refund as the address is unconfirmed, think yourself lucky it was only £2.99 and not the £110 I was ripped off for

Here's a way you could prove it! If you received a receipt from the post office when you posted it, it will state the weight of the item. If dvd's are a regular item you sell and are packaged the same way each time you could check the weight on the receipt against a packaged case with cd and an empty one (if you see what I mean). If you don't have the receipt then I guess this wouldn't work.

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

Mis-spelling the odd word is perfectly acceptable. Using words not in a dictionary is a good idea on a site that filters out swearwords.
I was *just* commenting to OH how people use amazing versions of some words that will not be picked up by said filter.
And don't diss Wiki, even my mother uses it!

It's almost impossible to tell, as the number of DVD's I send out vary from about 90g for a cardboard case, to 180 for a double disc. Some have loads of inserts and the cases weigh slightly different amounts.

I'm not bothered about the £2.99, it's risk management that I'm happy with, but it's the fact that they have blatantly lied, and not for the first time judging by the feedback. I would imagine he already has a black mark or two on his eBay form sheet, so one more from me should topple it.

Just biding my time for a while. Let him think he has got away with it:p

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

You're bang out of order with this comment. Your choice of words in your post was offensive. Someone has pulled you up on this and you insult him. I agree with him so now you can insult me too.

Why refund him?

The buyer has confirmed he received the item and even has a record of pulling the 'I didn't get disc stunt' in the past going by his feedback.

You wait for him to open a dispute which I doubt he would do, also I am sure you will win, tell paypal you 100% know for sure you put the disks in. How good is your feedback compared to his?

I never sell dvds shrink wrapped because in the past some have been missing or even damaged, yours were not shrink wrapped.

A general snipe at dishonest RM staff (no, not all RM staff are dishonest :rolleyes:) is not quite the same as a personal attack on a poster (ie. accusing a specific person of being chavvy.) Which is a worse insult? 'Chavvy' or 'troll'? Answers on an email to who.really.cares@flaming.co.uk

I think mike raised the stakes here, tbh. And poking fun at spelling mistakes is never big or clever.
