Hello good denizens of Specktra, I am in need of advice.
I just had a really bad CP experience where I paid the $ required (plus additional monetary incentive for CPer’s trouble at an rate she specified) but CPer (henceforth referred to as “A”) never sent the items. In the weeks that followed I contacted A on a couple of occasions regarding the status of CP. On every occasion she always had a reasonable explanation as to why she still had not posted the items. Foolish child that I am, I gave her the benefit of doubt.
Eventually I was informed that the package had been posted. I waited another 3 weeks. Nada.
At the end of 3 weeks I received a msg from A asking for my Paypal details. Apparently a package with several items in it had been sent back to her and she needed my info to confirm whether it’s mine.
This is where her story started to ungel. According to A, she had sent my (3) items in to 2 packages so the one returned to her can’t be mine.
Oh well.
After providing the info requested I didn’t hear from her again.
So a week later I msg’ed her again. Then followed up on the previous msg the next day. She didn’t bother to respond to either messages.
On the 45th day post payment I filed a dispute with Paypal.
A got back to me within 24 hours stating that she’s been away interstate and had no access to the net. This excuse was clearly false, though I didn’t bother pointing it out, as she was still posting to this board daily during the entire period where she claimed she did not have access.
After a brief discussion A agreed to refund the total amount paid to her, but still without explanation as to how the entire situation fell apart.
A sent refund by drawing directly from her bank account, which as I understand it, is like sending an eCheque.
Okay, this is where I need help –
As soon as A forwarded the refund, my dispute lodged with Paypal was automatically terminated. The problem here is that after 11 days the refund status is still “pending”. This is taking a bit long even for electronic funds transfer, especially where the bank account from which the refund is to be drawn is located in the US, which should only take up to 2-3 business days.
Right now my concern is that the bank account in question may not have sufficient funds to satisfy the total amount required for refund. Also another problem is that since the dispute was automatically cancelled, I can’t escalate it to a claim even if I want to.
I am completely lost. I’ve never been in this kind of situation before (yeah, I know. lucky me).
Advice anyone?
