so I just gave Audiomart my side of the story with screenshots of correspondence and paypal confirmation ruling in favor of a full refund. I also said that I don’t think sellers should coerce people into taking down a negative reviews. It seems to me he may be legit, but handled things very badly.
Merason dac MK1 on audio mart
Well, all good things must come to an end. I got conned on a recent audio mart listing on the Merason dac MK1, which I’ve been wanting, and jumped on it when I saw it. Turns out it’s a multi-person fraud ring. Be warned as the seller had good feedback, which I realize now anyone can do, especially if it’s organized. Just spoke with pay pal and they let me know there is already a flag on this seller from someone else and they are investigating.
Once the payment went through, all of a sudden, the communication completely changed to awkward old english with misspellings and a claim that the seller was out of the country and coming in a week. With so many red flags I immediately knew what must be happening and asked for a refund, which was refused. And then the seller said he sent me several emails saying he was out of the country, which isn’t true and isn’t even in the thread that we had, which proves it.
Hope this helps, as I don’t want anyone else to have this happen to them.

I know the seller identified here a little bit and found him to be a very nice guy. We are obviously just getting one side of the story... PayPal is pretty much always going to rule in favor of the buyer (partly why sellers don't like it...PP has I think overreacted to be so pro-buyer, that they have an anti-seller bias. Easier for a seller to get scammed than a buyer at this point). |
@metaldetektor That is essentially what USAudioMart determined when I asked about the transaction/ad. There was miscommunication between the parties. |
