Phil's Garage Sale and Ski Swap item not sent.
I am starting this thread to make people aware that I most likely will not receive an Item that I purchased and paid for with Paypal.
The item is Toko Big Box Ski Wax Box sold by user CTSNOW.
The seller has been a member since 2006 and appears to have sold 3 of 4 pairs of skis with no issues.
The seller was having a problem with pictures and many from here tried to help him get the pictures to show up. They finally did. He offered the item for $50 with Free Shipping.
I offered him $50 and made payment with Paypal. He offered to send me a tracking number that same day over a week ago and never did. I have since sent him a couple of PMs and made a couple of contact attempts through the listing itself. I have received no response. I have used Paypal for over 2000 Ebay transactions and have never lost a dime. This was my first purchase here on Pugski. Being the nice person that I am (perhaps not so smart in this case) I paid using Family and Friends on Paypal and paid out of my checking account so that the seller would not incur any seller fees. This type of payment gives me no recourse either from Paypal or my bank account. I have resigned myself to most likely never seeing the TOKO Wax box. This is a warning to all that when you make a payment using Paypal do not use friend and family as you have no recourse against a seller not sending the item. If you pay for a product use regular Paypal and a credit card and it gives you recourse at two places. I in no way intend to blame Pugski for any of this. I enjoy the Ski swap forum and may buy from there in the future.
The follow is the latest post from me to the thread on 5/6/2019:
Does anyone here know anything about this person? I did payment through PayPal friends and family so the seller would not pay a fee. The payment went to Robinson Outdoor Group. I checked with Paypal and I have no recourse due to the payment method. Payment came out of my bank account so I have no recourse there either. This person has not done anything they said they would do and will not respond to messages or this thread. It looks like he has been a member since 2016 and has sold a few pairs of skis that appear to have been good transactions. It appears I am out $50.00. I did not expect this to happen on Pugski. I do not expect to get any money back. I always try to be positive but it appears that the writing is on the wall with this transaction. Phil or Tricia is there anything that can be done to this member’s account to minimize this being done to anyone else?
Moral to the story is no matter how nice you want to be, protect yourself first.
