BTR: Standard of War - Resolved by Paypal

Post by Cyranax »

Bartertown Powers that Be,
I had an arrangement with Standard of War in the beginning of August to purchase a Chaos army lot. The payment cleared and two days later he processed a refund, stating that Paypal had frozen his account. Paypal processed it and I received my full refund within a week. However, there were a couple red flags, hence this post.
1. The paypal refund was processed after the account had been frozen. As this has happened to me, I know that paypal freezes all money in the account and any refunds are done by them, not by the user, at this time, to prevent fraud.
2. Standard of War continued to log in to B-Town daily, checking messages, but not responding after he viewed them. (This finally stopped the day after I mention it, and my last message remains unread)
3. It was brought to my attention that this was done at least a second time, and reported by Extinction Angel (viewtopic.php?f=103&t=324074) whose transaction and refund happened two weeks later, with the same excuse.

Thank you for your time,
Matthew (Cyranax) Meinke

Standard,

I was wondering if your chaos lot was still available? Is everything on your list the new releases?

Thank you for your time

Hey there.

Yeap, everything is the latest version of the model. I started buying it all up after the shadowspear box was released but never got around to working on it. And Yeap, it’s still available.

Thanks.

Hey, good morning!
(I've been at work for 15.5 hours now, so bleg, tired, ha)

only two questions I have are more clarifications than dealbreakers, because I think I'm in. I don't need all of it, but a good handful of it is enough to justify it.

the "named raptor lord," is that haarkan, the one with the spear?
the vehicles, are they the chaos variants, or imperial? and which kind of land raider is it?

Yea, the raptor lord is Haarkan. I had everything piled up in front of me while I was writing up the list and he was buried under stuff and I couldn’t seem to remember his name haha.

All vehicles are the Chaos version, and the land raider is the Chaos version as well. I don’t recall it having a name beyond that, I think Chaos only makes one version.

I am incredibly sorry about this, but after selling this and my other items that I put up, apparently it triggered paypal’s Security feature for unusual account activity. I usually only make small purchases with it, so when I had a lot of money come in, they froze my account and are requiring me to provide all kinds of information, like the manufacturer of the product I’m selling, and all this other stuff. I’ve been on the phone with them over the weekend, and got no where with them. Apparently, if you don’t consistently sell items, and then suddenly sell a large dollar amount worth of stuff, it triggers this security feature.

It’s kind of a pain in the ass how much info they want, and they have to have someone look into it even after I submit the info. I didn’t want you to have to wait for all that to complete, so I refunded your money. You should have a full refund already, I sent it a little bit ago.

I’m very sorry for the trouble. This is a pain in the ass, I was hoping to move this stuff. I’ll PM you when my account is unfrozen and see if you are still interested.

I'm more than happy to wait, as that lot is definitely an interest for me. If you dont mind, would you shoot me a photo of the lot at cylaes@gmail.com and keep me updated? The money is on standby for your chaos lot.

I've found that if you contact paypal before you get paid and inform them of what's about to happen, you can avoid most of these issues.

I'm impressed and confused on how you managed to issue a refund on a frozen account.

Standard,

I've sent a couple messages and know they have at least been seen, but not answered, and you have not logged in since the day after my last one. I was really hoping for some sort up update after a month, or at least an acknowledgement of receiving my messages. I did receive a refund, which I appreciate, but because of the circumstances and lack of followup, I thought I would let you know that I intend to file a Backout Report.

Cyranax
If you message me, I will make it a point to respond as soon as I can, interested or not. Please afford me the same courtesy.

If you actually sent money and he did not fulfill his end (re: shipping), regardless of Paypal stepping in, it would be a BTR. I have moved the topic and changed the title to reflect this (and that paypal resolved it, not the user in question).

I am glad Paypal was able to get your money back.

@Wsott - Please remember that this is a BTR (although it was originally filed as a Back-Out, the same principal applies), any comments not directly related to the BTR (details, information, etc) should not be posted.

The staff has reached out to the user since this is now the second occurrence.

Ryan

Edit - Normally we lock BTR's once resolved but I will keep this one open temporarily in case the OP gets any new information (or the user in question logs back in to comment).

One thing I just noticed, is that Joshua gave you a different email than he gave the other member.

isabelra2007@gmail.com

isabelra2008@gmail.com

This does not warrant well for his image.
