    I need some help from Ebay experts. Now.

    Hi guys,

    I have shipped the item to the following person almost a month ago and he says he never received the item. Here is the latest e-mail from that guy :

    "I have not received the item yet and as of last Friday I have
    launched an investigation on my own behalf. Being as I am an Attorney
    licensed in the state of Florida and Michigan I have the free resources
    needed to launch such an investigation in the United States. Also, as
    stated to you before, I am on the board of directors of a diamond
    mining company in Canada and have asked one of the members of the board
    who lives in Canada to help me by launching his own investigation over
    there which he has agreed to do. If the package was lost in the mail
    between our two points I will find it. If the package has been returned
    to you please notify me at once so we can set up a second delivery
    attempt. If the package has been returned to you I would like you to
    send it by Fed-Ex and get a tracking number that you can email to me.

    Also, I have not come to the conclusion that you never sent the
    package but if that is what the end of my investigation shows, then I
    will have no choice but to treat it as a crime committed on ebay and
    will first ask you to refund the money to me to stop all that I am doing
    in regards to this matter. Again, I have not come to that conclusion
    yet but as a month has passed since this auction has ended, I plan on
    resolving this one way or another.

    Please understand my position in this matter as I am an ebay
    member that wishes to remain a satisfied member and also help to keep it
    an honest way to shop for goods. Please email me back and let me know
    if the item has been shipped back to you or not.

    Sincerely,

    Steve Safilian"

    Here is my Ebay profile (a member for 5 years with 96% feedback)

    http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...em=-1&frm=2624

    I think that guy received the item and is trying to accuse me of not sending the item. What should I do? I called Canada post and they told me it's been shipped.

    This is the e-mail I replied today :

    "Steve,

    The item has not been shipped back to me.

    I understand the situation, but accusing me, or even pretending accusations
    on my part isn't going to help this situation.

    Give me the phone number of your diamond company. I would like to talk to
    the person you assigned over there.

    Since you are an attorney, I would like the phone number of your office in
    Florida.

    As soon as I have information, I will let you know.

    Thank you,

    Best regards."

    I sent the scanner on june 23. What are my other alternatives?

      No alternatives that I know of. If you are a 5year 96% feedback member his one bad one is not going to hurt you.

      As far as the atty stuff. He is bluffing. If nothing else the court filing fees would cost more than a scanner.

          is there a tracking number the Post Office can provide you?

                  Ebay buyers are complete pricks and will rob you blind at every corner or bitch when that isn't an option. If you sell much on there you will run across many assholes just like this one. (I've also seen 100% fake threats of being lawyers etc.) Do you have any sort of tracking on it or proof it was shipped? He's an idiot for thinking he can just find a lost package as well.

                      That's the thing. No tracking number was available to the United States when I used CanadaPost. I used ExpressPost but there isn't a tracking number available to the United States (only in Canada). I should've used Fedex or even UPS. But in 5 years, that's the 1st time I have this problem.

                                      Who would you contact regarding a lost shipment, the insurance company? What would they do about it? How would they go about determining if it is indeed lost or not?

                                          This guy is a scammer. Did you post prior to purchase how you would ship?

                                          I bet this person is a full-time scammer. I bet he / she realizes that you do not have a tracking number.

                                          Email him back and tell him that the service you used is going to run a "trace package." Explain that this is a final alternative and full proof.

                                          He might be true to his word, but I would say that he is a scammer and I would say I am right a lot.

                                              Tell him to deal with insurance then and get it out of your hands.

                                                  also some postal services such as ups just drop of
                                                  the packages at the door step, and it may have been stolen.

                                                      You better hope he doesnt get the United States Postal Inspectors invovled.. Those guys will ruin your life, even if you are canadian, you will never be able to mail shit in the states.

Everytime i have sent something without a shipping number i get screwed by a dumb ass like this. If he paid by credit card you have to sadly refund his money as he will do a chargeback. If he paid by money order screw him keep the money.

                                                                              If you can get confirmation of the package being checked/scanned anywhere along the line that would show that you indeed shipped it.

If he paid via PayPal he will get his money back unless it has been more than 30 days and then you may luck out but PayPal can still choose to refund him. If he left you neg feedback and you want to get it removed he has to agree. Offer him a refund if he provides you with a statement saying that he never received the item and if he agrees to remove the neg feedback. Process the refund after you get both of these accomplished. It is a bum deal but without tracking there is not much else you can do. I also expect that the insurance company will not refund the value of your item as it did not have tracking. Basically they should not have sold you insurance on the package as it wasn't insurable without tracking. Sorry, but thats the way it goes.

                                                                                      Also if you send by the postal service go ahead and add insurance. Put it in your listing that it's mandatory. That way if some fucker claims the item is broken they'll have to deal with the USPS.

I had a similar probleme but the fucker didn't know I had a tracking number for that package. But that guy tried to rip off all the sellers he bought from. Two weeks later his acc was closed

That was a month ago. He still didn't give me the name of the diamond company. And looks like his "friend" doesn't want to talk to me
                                                                                                                                                                  I bet what I said earlier in this thread turns out to be the case.
