So here is the story, i will not use names and i will not slander anyone.

I needed a wrap press. A user of this website posted that they had one available and to buy for 80 dollars. After talking on the phone for a while the first night, i decided to buy the wrap press as well as some irish linen which he had in the color i need. I lost power because of a storm one night so i ended up paying the next day.

I wait 2 weeks to receive the item. Once i receive both items 2 days ago, i have about enough linen to do about 1/4 of a cue stick. As for the wrap press, it is a 3 bearing design like many have seen before where there is 1 bearing on top and 2 on the bottom. The 2 bottom bearings do not even come close to touching any part of the wrap. I contacted the seller through email and he only refunded me the money i spent on the wrap and refuses to give me money back for the press. He said he will only exchange for the same item that he has multiple of. I told him that the bearings were too small and too far apart for this particular press to work and he told me to modify it to work. I spent 80 dollars for aq piece of equipment that does not function without serious modification.

Am i wrong here, all i want is to send this item back to the seller and end up purchasing the porper which is by far a better unit than the homemade one i purchased that does not work.

The ones you purchased are the same ones I have and have been using for a looooong time.
Looks like you need to cut a half circle in the wood between the two bearings. Like this......

Hope this helps.

Did he claim that he actually used the one he sold you? Im trying to figure out how if there is no notch by the double wheels.

Yes he claimed he just tried it at home, and he had to problem with his own cue. Meanwhile i tried it on 4 different cues at my house (2 different diameter predators, a limited edition meucci and a viking again all different diameters) and none even came close to working.

I have cases open with paypal as well as bank of america to get my money back because he obviously refuses to give me the money back because he stopped returning emails and phone calls.

yeah, maybe you can convince him to do it right if you know him......judging by the amount of PM's received on this guy i guess he has quite a reputation here.......shoulda thought twice about buying it now I wish i woulda known this before hand.
 
I called this guy several times and he does not answer the phone. It is a 3 minute modification as the press is adjustable. Also I did not make the press, it was part of a package I had received from another seller. Paypal found for me, so that should say the world as paypals usually finds for the customer . I would be glad to modify the press, or replace it but he has not given the chance. As far as the wrap is concerned when he told me there was not enough wrap I simply refunded him in full as that would be my fault for not sending enough. So I am out the wrap and you are out nothing.

so if i am unhappy with needing to modify the press you sold me, why not refund my money? plain and simple
 
Because you said you were not going to send the wrap press back and then you asked Paypal to decide, they did and now your not happy with their decision.

woahhhhhhhhhhhh hold on there, all i said was i wanted to send th wrap press back to get my money back and i have a voice mail stating that you will ONLY refund the price of the wrap and to modify the wrap press myself........

refund the money to my paypal account and i will priority mail the item back to you immediately......thats all i want and its the right thing to do


btw this was word for work the first email i sent you "Hey i got the items yesterday but i have a problem. This morning i strung up a wrap on my cue, i go to use the wrap press and the 2 roller bearings on the bottom of it dont even come close to touching the wrap. I would have to modify this a lot in order to get this to work, this was not what i was expecting for 80 dollars im sorry. I dont know if the length of wrap you gave me is adequate from the looks of it i dont think it is but i cant tell unless i wrap a cue with it. After i saw the press this morning i was not happy at all. Unless there is something else you can think of i would like my money back for the press and i will ship it back. Thanks"

all i did was copy and paste from my email box.....and apparently i am the bad guy, i escalated it to a paypal claim because you refused to comply or respond. Btw th paypal case is repoened and appealed as well as bank of america is going to fight th charges for me. I can stop everything if my money is refunded or we can just wait it out. I know i will prevail in the long run, As previously stated i will ship the item back to you no problem at all thats all i want out of this. I have received many PM's about you and should have never done business with if i would have known before hand, let this be a lesson to whoever reads

You had that chance and said you would not mail it back. Paypal decided just like YOU asked them to.

here we go again

ATTENTION ALL

i never said i would not mail the item back do you understand thats all i wanted from the start, and all i still want, i escalated it because you would not respond to my emails.

NOW, say for real that i never said that i would not ship it back. All kidding aside you got to be joking about this. did you really convince yourself that i said this?

Am i crazy?
 
Thread moved. This thread does not belong in the review section unless you name the product and give a proper review. Thank you.
 
thanks for moving it,

BTW, i guess in the end the real winner prevailed, paypal found the appeal case in my favor. The only reason why they found it in your favor the first time because they did not see a description of the item and didnt realize that you explained it to my over the phone. Thanks for doing business you will receive the item back today through UPS
 
Congrats on getting it settled. Don't hesitate to ask around here and other places (check your PM) before making purchases. A post soliciting PMs with honest advice would do. It's likely there will be at least one or two invaluable responses that could save you from this type of situation.
 
Thanks for the info i appreciate the help, and its people like you tht keep some of us coming back because you are willing and able to give honest advice.

Some other people arent willing to do that and its just a shame

But you get a :thumbup: lol
