Guest killiesoul Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I recently bought a couple of 'Originals' from a seller on Ebay .I missed the auction but offered £190 for both records - he accepted ! after a few days i emailed him to ask what was the hold up .He then sent the records after opening the package and checking the records , they were found NOT to be originals .I emailed him and told him about the situation .I returned both records with one he had won off me on Ebay and asked for a refund .He replied stating they were BOTH originals and how did i know they were not ? I explained that i had checked the matrix numbers and they were indeed BOOTS !! He then said that one of the records was 100% original !! but would check them when he got them back ! Needless to say he will not answer my emails and i have not recieved any refund through paypal .I did not pay as a gift , so is there any way of getting my money off this individual ?? He is still selling on ebay and stating his records are originals .....so how many people has he managed to dupe ?? I would love to name and shame this guy as he hasnt got the decency to reply to any emails and this is not a good advert for the decent guys out there !! Any help would be apreciated .

p0stscript Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 you can dispute through paypal, keep email records as proof of correspondence (or lack of it), can take a little while but in my only ever dispute i got my money back. https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/general/PPDisputeResolution-outside Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
dthedrug Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 HI ALL First thing is don't think that you have done anything wrong, far from it, you have made a purchase on the basis that you were to receive a product, the product you received was fake, as such you have protection, and pay-pal have a policy on this I'm sure, if the seller is in the UK trading standards also can help. However, as most of SOULSOURCE members spend a lot of money on records, it is a unwritten rule, to protect us all the seller should be NAMED & SHAMED, the way forward is simple to me, pay him a visit, but do not make threats in any way. get a money collector to make the visit, if the seller uses SOULSOURCE again name & shame, it does work? but it is down to you/ DAVE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 you should definitely do a paypal claim but if you sent them back without any sort of confirmation the seller can claim he never received them Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Northern Soul Uk Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) You can claim through Paypal as you are covered through the 'Buyers protection scheme'. As said above keep all the emails as proof. If he listed the records as Originals you have a case if they were not when you got them. You may have to prove to Paypal that they were 'not as described', in other words that they were bootleg copies when described as originals. What Paypal then do, is if they come down on your side, write to the seller and ask them to resolve the situation, if they do not get a reply, they will try to take the money out of the sellers paypal or bank account to pay you back. If they can't do that, they will repay you from Paypal and give the seller a strike as selling counterfeit goods. The whole process could take up to 4 weeks, but at least you'll get your money back. You REALLY should name them on here though so that SS fellows know to avoid. P.S. You can also request the sellers contact details so that you can ring them to try to sort the problem out amicably/ Edited June 28, 2012 by Steve Luigi Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest killiesoul Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks for the replies very helpfull... Okay guys i have gave this person long enough to reply and try and get things sorted . He goes by the identity of paul8383paul on ebay .His name is Chris Walker from Middlesbrough ! I have got friends to question what is on the deadwax for clarification of his 'Originals' and he has replied NOT with the numbers but just 'Its 100% origonal' .In my instance however , with one of the records, he did state what he thought was on the matrix , but couldnt tell for sure as his eyes werent what they used to be ! This led me to believe it was an original but on inspection , what he said and what was there was 2 different things !! I am NOT disputing that he may have genuine originals on ebay but the ones i returned were NOT , thats why i returned them .....no harm done , i thought ?? How wrong was I ?? I have opened a claim through paypal against him to try and get the money back. If anyone knows this guy , please try and talk some sence into him and do the right thing by refunding my £190 for the two 'ORIGINALS' !!

Soulatthedale Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 As far as i know he doesnt go on this site as he deals mainly with rock/pop stuff. My ex-girlfriends son sold him about £6500 worth of records for £700, the police found about a quarter of my records in a flat above his shop after he told them he didnt know they were stolen!!! The rest are still missing but he doesnt know ive managed to find out the address he uses as a registered office and thats where i think the rest are.

Marc Forrest Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If the buyers are located in England and you can proove the records belong to you and were just stolen from you the buyers would have to give them back to at their full cost. you should really be able to get them back. At least in Germany the law would be on your side as a stolen good cant be bought..it will still be owned by the person who it was stolen from. Maybe English law is different here but you should at least ask a attorney about this situation. If you have the sellers (new) adress why not also visit him again and confront him with some evidence collected from the net that he again has sold some records that belong to you ? a third advice I have for you but I wont post on the internet ..

Northern Soul Uk Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ebay will help, from experience, although a completely different item (not a record), I bought an iPhone off a guy in Cheshire, when I got it it was duff, so wrote to him and he said he'd refund me if I sent the phone back. I did, he didn't, so opened a case on eBay and after about 3 weeks they refunded me in full including postage through the buyers protection scheme.
