Sold two items on ebay. One was for $20 the other for $200. I was leaving on vacation and in a hurry. Printed out a label and put both in the mail. One guy ($200) paid right away the $20 guy didn't pay.
Sure enough in my haste to go on vacation (xmas) I mixed up the two packages.
The guy who ordered the $20 card received the $200 and vice versa.
The guy who ordered the $200 and received the $20 was totally cool about it and sent the cards back to me.
The guy who bought the $20 cards and recieved the $200 paid immediately after the tracking number on the package said it arrived.
I emailed the guy who got the more expensive package, was very nice and thanked him for his professionalism and to send them back on my expense. Sent 3 emails in 3 weeks. No reply.

I was cool about the whole thing, the guy who ordered the $200 I made happy and the whole thing was my fault.

Fast forward to monday of this week:

I receive and email from Paypal saying they have frozen my account until I resolve a dispute. It appears getting the $200 cards in place of the $20 cards the buyer got was not good enough. He said he NEVER received anything.

Talk about greed. I sent a long and detailed email to paypal (when he paid after the package was received, my emails sent, no emails returned, etc). Now I have to wait until PayPal reviews the dispute and gives me my funds back.

Amazing some people's nerve. Anyone want to know who the buyer's ebay name is!??! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's is a bummer man. He is on the blocked list now, but that stinks. Hope something good comes out of it. Sounds like you tried to be honest and make up for the mistake. Unfortunately, you ran into a schmuck. GL

Buyer probably will not care, but I would let him know you will be posting this story on every sports card message board with his ebay ID in the hopes that sellers will either block him, or buyers will not buy from him. If it hits him in the pocketbook (seller wise) or not being able to aquire that rare 1/1 (buyer wise), he/she might change their tone.
