Please pass the word along to anyone you know who might buy the kind of merchandise involved. I am out $25 from this person, barring the possibility of doing a chargeback to my debit card, and I want to make sure none of my friends (or friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends) get ripped off ( Read more... )

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm sorry this is happening.

I don't know if this will help at all, but credits can be done to PayPal accounts without a problem. From there, you can log into PayPal and go through the procrss to claim the money back to your debit account.

Hope that helps!

Assuming you mean a dispute, with paypal you have to initiate it within 45 days. I was nice and gave the guy the benefit of the doubt... Just a little longer than his estimated turnaround time puts you outside the window of opportunity.

Actually, I don't mean a dispute. I was thinking more along the lines of cancelling your order for a refund. All they have to do is charge the same amount back to your PayPal account and you're set. You don't even need any sort of confrontation...just "Hi. I placed an order for x amount on x date and I would now like to cancel it. I would like to request a refund to my PayPal account at . Thank you,"

Simple and, hopefully non-confrontational.

I'll give it a try if the Etsy folks have no suggestions. I looked through the PayPal help files and they kept pointing me towards the dispute proceedings. Odd. Thanks though.

Poeple too stupid to have a copy/paste reponse to emails do not deserve to get orders.

If they cannot get supplies they should not offer the product.

I love his high-fallutin' webpage that's all arty and junk. Meanwhile, from what I've seen, he just sticks other people's faces on t-shirts. I am sure it makes a very nice t-shirt, but I wouldn't get high-fallutin' about it.

That is what makes FASCISM.

Le sigh for le rudeness.
