Kevin, the first post I made didn't include the item I purchased or a name. People wanted to know and it eventually came out.
The first answer I received from the seller suggested that the chalk was good (yes, I am a liar) and that the only problem was that I had buyers remorse. Not the case.
The second sentence said that he didn't do refunds on international orders.
The last sentence stated that I could take it to Pay Pal if I wanted to, he didn't care.
So it is my fault for not checking on a return policy. I assumed that I would be getting what was initially promised.
Like I said, apparently he has a different return policy for people who spend more money.
I had received a fraud email that coincided with Pay Pal cancelling the dispute. Considering the hassle I had to go thru for something that could or should have been straight forward, obviously I considered the possibility of someone using a phony address to make returns impossible a possibility.
Do I owe an apology for that, quite possibly I do.
Maybe I should get one as well. For him saying that he won the PP dispute and the possibility of others questioning my integrity or motives.
I only get a day off here and there. I have a few other responsibilities around home that need taking care of rather than corresponding with PP thru emails and the phone.
As far as I can see at this point, I lost, he has the money and if the package is still in transit like I was told, he will have the chalk back too.
If he needs the money that bad he can keep it and the chalk.
When you start a thread like this, some will believe you and others won't, thats the chance a person takes when you hit enter.
If you feel that your friend needs an apology then I will give him one.
Chady, I apologize for assuming that you would give me a phony address to get out of returning my money and putting your integrity in question.
Maybe I should have been treated better in the first place and there would have been no need for a dispute or a thread, right?
I have the Pay Pal email and PM from Chady so can prove at anytime the words that I have typed.
Its no longer necessary as I said, I really don't care much any longer.
He has the money, probably will have the package soon and an apology.
Let the thread die and the best part is, I learned a lesson.
And that is, I am a huge dumb a ss for paying that much for chalk.
