Re: IML: Heads Up - Dead Beat Sellers and Refunds

["Robert Weldon" <rweldon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a thought, but have you considered seeing if some of the Canadian 
members here could check this deadbeat out for you?  Maybe tell us where 
this person is located, and we coud see about filing a theft complaint with 
the local police.  Having a police office at your front door might provide 
some motivation to either provide the product, or refund the money.  And is 
he still posting on Ebay, if so, mention the problem in the feedback.

Hi Dale and List.. I did purchase a part on ebay and the seller was in
Canada.. I never received the part and paid through pay pal . Pay pal
gives 30 days to dispute it., but you wait at least 20 days or more for
shipping, (outside the US could be longer) , so I believe you have a
lot less time then 30 days to dispute the bum seller through pay pal. I
got burned and pay pal was no help.. I thank you Dale and I will try
the credit card company, and be more careful buying imperial parts over
the internet...Bye for now., Mark and Lilly..
