Being Scam by Selller

    I am currently be scam by a seller, for a flytouch tablet I have never recieved. here iis a copy of the events and info about the scam. It is currently being dealt with by paypal, can anyone help meor advise. The paypal dispute system is confusing and I can lodge this information to someone directly.     Let’s be clear this isn’t about me returning a tablet that I have never received from this seller. There has never been a tablet sent by the seller. The true facts are on the 03.08.11 I paid via PayPal the sum of £134 for a 10.2" Flytouch 3 SUPERPAD ANDROID 2.2 16GB TABLET PC #330592984134 - which was never sent. After several emails asking where my tablet was, requesting shipping & consignment details, which the seller has never supplied, I received several correspondences from him blaming his couriers DHL and items being delayed for CE certification validation reason, then stating that there were warehouse problems. He eventually admitted that the tablet was never been sent. That when I requested my money back because and lack of information’s & excuses, i.e. blatant lies given by this seller. On 06.08.11 I was eventually given my money back, via PayPal. All the transaction which can be verified by my PayPal account… Upon receipt my money £134, I lodged a negative feedback against the seller in regard to his poor customer service and lack of information and blatant lies. From 06.08.11 – 17.08.11 I was subjected to a barrage of intimidating and threatening emails from the seller asking me to reverse my negative feedback, which I refused to do. I then was offered a financial inducement by the seller to change my registered negative feedback to a positive one. We agreed upon £50, which was transferred to my PayPal account on 17.08.11. I also received a change of Feedback Revision Request from the seller, which I did as per our agreement. Then on 18.08.11 to my complete surprise I receive a New Item not Received Dispute Claim against me from the seller. So this has been a scam on his part, all along to get me to change my negative feedback, and get his money back. This is an unscrupulous seller, and he shouldn’t be allowed to behave like this. I am the innocent party here, this seller is trying to scam me. In hindsight I should have stayed with my convictions, the flytouch tablet was supposed to be a birthday present for my child who is about to go university. He was so disappointed, so I was forced to buy an Apple Ipad2 costing 3x as much. So inclusion I can’t and will not refund the money or send the item back because I have never received this item, If the seller state otherwise, please ask him to supply proof of delivery to me, which I know he cant. PS. Copies of all correspondence between me and the seller has been kept, and can be supplied if required, which documents all the events stated above. I await your decision Kind Regards Caron Bolessa ... View more
