He eventually paid for most of his items a few weeks after the sale, but short changed me by $8. I shipped anyway and reminded him of the difference, at which point he said he'd transfer it right away. Several weeks and reminders later, I haven't heard from him or seen the extra $8. It's not so much the money, but the principle that bothers me.

The movie rocked, and you know it.

November 8th 2007
Sent NP $60 via paypal for a walmart starscream via the ss exchange thread

Nov. 14th
Got a PM saying he was waiting for someone else's payment.

Nov. 17th
Got tired of waiting since it hadn't shipped yet and asked for a refund, NP said 2-4 days for it to clear.

Nov. 21st
He posts in the ss exchange thread that he never actually had the items he was selling in the first place, and that the person who actually had them sold them to someone else. OFFICIAL US MP Starscream exchange thread

I get sick of waiting and file paypal claim, then escalate it.

Nov. 29th
NP sends another PM saying that he's been in jail for beating the guy up that didn't sell him the SS's that he pretended he had in the first place and says he'll have everyone's refund taken care of within a week.

NP initiates refund through paypal.

Dec. 8th
I get tired of waiting.

Has anyone else that was dealing with NemesisPrime gotten their refund? I'm not trying to call the guy out like it'd the end of the world over $60. But I've been misled, lied to twice about dates for refunds, heard a story that's quite ridiculous(don't care if it's true or not). I'm pretty sure a month is a pretty good span of time to get things worked out, and they haven't been yet. I already got my 2 screamers from elsewhere, but if this guy has given me this kind of run around, I'm sure it's happened to other folks here as well.

about the same timeline, waiting for a response from him. So what's happening via paypal? I'm about to escalate my claim.

Yeah, I've been waiting too. It's been exactly a month.

Well, if I don't hear from him today, I'm going to escalate my claim with PayPal.

I called paypal and they said there was nothing they could do except wait till he moves the funds so the refund can go through. As they'll take a week just to review your case after escalation, I'd advise you do it now if you haven't already.

Yep, I've gotten the exact same thing from him as you have, Prisoner1138 (except never got the "initiates refund through PayPal" part). I sent him a PM today saying I'd give him a couple more days before I made a PayPal claim but, hearing your account, I'm going to initiate proceedings now. Honestly, looking back at it, there's a few things about this that were setting off my BS detector early and I shouldn't have waited this long. Fortunately, I got my MP Starscream from another source.

EDIT - PayPal dispute filed.

Yeah, I figured I would file a dispute first anyway so I did it and I'll while I give him a few days to respond.

To be honest, I'm not even sure if he cashed my check yet. Didn't get bank statements back this month.

I'm not going to jump to conclusions, though. If his story is true, then I'm very sympathetic towards it. Anyway, I'm going to go easy on the guy for now.
