Hi yo-yo,
Not sure by what you mean "did the seller appear after all?" I did eventually hear from PayPal regarding the sale. So I originally paid by PayPal after the user got back on after a hiatus. The sale went through but he didn't want to wait 17 days to get his money, nor did I want to wait that long for the cart. So he refunded my money and I rebought the item using friends and family. He did ask first if that was okay which it was as I've been in the same situation. Paid for the item and it was shipped out. After that no correspondence from the seller. No shipping info after the initial pickup, nothing for weeks despite many texts , emails, etc.
Finally get in touch with seller about a month and a half later after I had filed a claim with PayPal and my credit card company. So now he says why did I put in a claim as PayPal took the money out of his account for not sending the item. I got charged by PayPal for the item I never recieved and which cannot be located. So now PayPal has both our money and neither of us has the cartridge. Good scam by PayPal wouldn't you say?
Tried reasoning with PayPal but the case was considered closed by them. F'd all around I'm afraid. Not a good way of doing business is it? So I'm out $700.00, no item, the seller is out $700.00, no item and he's pissed that I put in a claim. I said what would you have done since when we finally connected he said that's what PayPal disputes are for. We both lost on that deal.
