how to get money back ?

[robster247]

Okay was scanning pistonheads and came across a 16v janspeed manifold for £30 posted as it had a hole in the third branch. The guy seemed okay and he posted it after paying money via paypal, however a week later and it didnt turn up and got a text off a different number saying he has been out the country so couldnt send it. The seller said it would be here last tuesday but still hasnt arrived yet and both of their phone are off all the time. What can I do about this? I know its only £30 but that could be put towards christmas shite etc. Thanks in advance

When you sent the money, you didn't click gift did you

After all the agro and time might aswell leave it, carnt you just get it welded up. Edit: also what tomhannah said.

[robster247]

Think it may have been paid that way wil find out tmz as my brother paid for it .

[Cam]

If you paid as gift you got no come back.

[TomT]

I hope for your sake it wasn't.

If it WASNT paid by gift, then get him to log into paypal, go to resolution centre and click dispute a transaction.

Think it was a scam but then again he sent 5 pictures of the manifold via mms :-/

When you send money via paypal, dont it give you the other persons payment address?..

[rob_s]

If it seems to good to be true it usually is!

[Manu]

and got a text off a different number saying he has been out the country so couldnt send it.

There is no manifold.

[devilsadvocate]

You didn't wire the money to a guy called mkanififagogo in Nigeria did you?

To be honest you may as well have, if something is to good to be true....then it usually is.

Can try a dispute but if you paid by gift you have less than no chance.

Take it on the chin and learn for next time mate
