wow, thats the picture from the actual shannon auction that Roxie won...

I hope you didnt pay yet! I cant believe there is someone out there scamming carseat covers!!!!!

its posted on the atlanta list too

 

[keri1292]

She probably just searched ebay for the hot sellers and is making a killing on us car seat crazed folks. My dh is gonna kill me. :crying:
Anyone ever file a paypal dispute? I have 5 days to cancel. Do I HAVE to wait 5 days before they proceed or am I missing something?

 

[Jeanum]

It's not cool that someone is apparently trying to rip people off, and attempting to do so in multiple locations. Surely this would warrant an investigation beyond disputing with Paypal, like filing a police report and notifying craigslist?

 

[Connor's Mom]

I would guess that she saw what Roxie paid for the cover and saw that others where willing to pay a nice lump of change for it and saw it as a great way to earn some extrs $$$.

OP, are you willing to share the buyers info that you received for payment like the email addy if you paid via PP?

 

[becca011906]

PP will try to take your $$ back out of her account after 5 days but they can't take it out of a PP account that is already transfered the $$ into a bank account or on to a cc or whatever... and i don't think pp can take it out of the bank accounts or CC with out the sellers permission... hopefully she left $$ in the account then you can get it back i think... i got scamed once on MDC....

On MDC? I totally woud've trusted anyone there. How sad this world is becoming.

PP will try to take your $$ back out of her account after 5 days but they can't take it out of a PP account that is already transfered the $$ into a bank account or on to a cc or whatever... and i don't think pp can take it out of the bank accounts or CC with out the sellers permission... hopefully she left $$ in the account then you can get it back i think... i got scamed once on MDC....

They can take it back even if they have transfered the money somewhere else. It will leave their PP account with a negative balance that they must correct before using the account again. Happened to a friend of mine. She was being scammed by the buyer who was saying that she had not received the item. Luckily it was all worked out in my friends favor but it took months to rectify it.

Since I am in Texas I looked around to see if it was posted in any of our larger cities. Sure enough, the same add that keri1292 was posted in Houston.

Ive heard of people paying for the shipping of a non existant item using paypal's shipping just so they can have proof that it was shipped even though they never even bother to ship anything!
this way she at least holds on to $70+ in profit... ugh!

 

[keri1292]

How does that work if UPS doesn't have any info, other than that they were billed but, pkg was never checked in? So, this proves that she didn't ship it, right?

I am not sure, but I would escalate your claim right away. Do not wait or she will have to much time to transfer her $. I hope you get your $ back.

 

[waterbaby]

So, yeah... totally bummed, but SO SO SO grateful someone (keri) told me about this!!! All the same info and all the same stories.
How sad that someone is doing this, huh. I'm not out any money at all, thankfully, but I know lots of people probably are. She said she doesn't have PayPal (how convenient for her, right), and would only take a MO. I was NOT okay with that (hello, just like sending someone cash). The UPS label she printed for me was valid, but that doesn't mean she's actually going to ship it, kwim? I've emailed her several times since yesterday evening and still no response. Still not sure how she got a Britax return shipping label to me... and she knew all about the Regent recall/advisory, too. Ho hum.
I have full intentions of reporting her to every agency that will allow me to.

As soon as you file the dispute, if there is any $ in her pp acct. it gets frozen right away, and she can't withdraw it, and if she makes more sales, that $ says frozen as it arrives.

PP doesn't accept "shipping info" as the generated number, they actually wait for the number to show as delivered... if I generate a pp shipping, it gets put in USPS the day I print it, but I can hold the package here for weeks if I wanted.

I had a dispute that required I return the item with tracking, and USPS didn't scan it in when I sent it, but it was scanned when it was delivered, and that was the proof, as soon as they were able to see it had arrived, I got my refund.
