I feel like resolution is in the air
At the very least, the cue should ship to the buyers friend who has legit I-Trade ratings on Az so I hope one way or another the cue ends up in the buyers hands and you get your money, I-Trades are left and you both move on.
IMO...you brain-farted the deal. It happens even if you have 100+ I-Trades at 100%
On the surface and without knowing that you have all of those transactions, I would have thought you had very little selling experience.
I know from my own experiences that new buyers require extra scrutiny.
All concerns should have been addressed before you requested payment.
Never too late to learn from ones mistakes...in this case that is on you the seller.
Rather than (as an experienced seller) guiding a new buyer to a positive end, you made it a tough ride...I highly doubt that was what was intended but that is what transpired.
If I were the seller in this instance and I effed up I would certainly do something to make it right. If not cutting the sell price by $10.00 to $25.00, maybe shipping in a decent cheap case or including some kind of pool related item(s) or perhaps a gift card to a food chain...that's just me.
You haven’t followed this thread very well. Many points are stated are outright wrong.
Duane had cue for sale.
Duane accepted a lower offer from newbie.
Duane received PayPal from newbie buyer in the manner requested; F&F via PayPal.
Duane in possession of the payment, then freaks out because the buyer has no iTrader. Or at least that’s his excuse.
Duane then refunds the buyers money.
Duane then creates this thread to expose himself as being an idiot.
Duane, who still has the buyers address, says he never got the address.
Duane attempts to create confusion by responding in a manner like a child.
Duane then admits he had the money and refunded it.
Duane, still acting like a child, thinks he was somehow in the right he cockblock a newbie buyer, because the guy is a newbie.
Duane still received the money, and was never in danger of getting ripped off or screwed around. Solely because he ripped off PayPal.
So at which point in the timeline, was Duane realistically going to be potentially in harms way from the buyer? Hint: it was never, because Duane requested, and received payment as F&F.
