Seller Unresponsive after payment.


Hi,

I just bought a DAC https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb6ae1-space-tech-laboratory-da-512dsd-2-da-converters?show_listing=true from @madavid0 last Sept.14 and have paid through Paypal once I commited the buy option of the listing. He only responded once after one week of no communication and said item will be ship that week because he said he was out of town. I understood that and it is almost two weeks after and no replies on my messages.


How do I go about it? And what kind of feedback do I give for other potential buyers to be aware of what kind of a seller he is.

Update this morning when I contacted Tammy from Agon support and mentioned tried calling or messaging the seller first then I replied back no replies then Tammy intervened and copied the Seller from our conversation and asking about the status. Within an hour seller replied telling about his situation he was out of the country at the moment. We will see as he said and promised that one way or another he will ship the item and will give a partial refund when he comes back in a week. 
 

I’m not really familiar with the DAC as it is not common in the marketplace and from his recent feedback and history he has a good reputation so I am giving him a benefit of a doubt. I can always dispute it from Paypal worse comes to worst.

Open a dispute with PayPal. It sounds like he’s buying himself some additional time. 

find out what the deadline is to file a paypal claim.  I think it is 6 months.  As long as he is not pushing you past any deadline, be patient.

I ran an ebay business for years, sold millions of $ of merchandise, and never lost a dime on US sales (some european sales went missing in customs).  I had guys disappear for a time and found out they were in the hospital, caring for a sick loved one, or just on a long vacation.  I had one lady pay me for a $1500 item and it came back undeliverable.  I tried for years to contact her and never did.  I assume she passed.

In that listing it is not stated that there will be a delay in shipping. The seller never returned any questions that you asked. Since the seller did not ship the item there would be no problem having the seller refunding that purchase with Paypal.

Move on after you get the refund from that dirtbag!

Exactly. The seller has completely failed to meet the terms of sale. Business is business. Get a refund. Move on.
