Re: Feel your pain stew.

Pls keep us updated ebay is a minefield.

There is also a seller of silverstones at the moment who keeps reselling the same blue and burgandy one over and over.

Even has a pic lifted from pars website and a scammer who offered me a monaco 1133 that wad one nics!

World is full of bUggers lets only hope we can get even with them...

All the best fella...

: Greetings all,

: I'm hoping someone here, the chronocentric forum being a trusted
: source for me, may be able to offer some advice.

: A buyer on EBAY who received a lovely 16600 tritium dial Seadweller
: (with box and correct original papers) from me, my own personal
: daily wear watch, has today three weeks after receiving it
: initiated a PAYPAL buyer dispute with the "not as
: described" option claiming it is fake, not working and is
: not a Rolex.

: (Take a breath)

: It of course is genuine but now the watch is in Hong Kong and my
: papal account is in negative balance whilst we dispute the
: "is is real" or not issue.

: The other thing is his EBAY ID - jubebeone- sells similar old
: Omegas, etc on a 100% feedback with 141 feedbacks in the
: profile.

: Now I can see myself getting Royally Screwed by those C U Next
: Tuesday'S at Paypal on this one as it's his word against mine-
: he has the watch and paypal have deducted the funds from my
: account whilst the dispute is now live.

: And I'm fking pissed off.

: If I say send it back he might send a fake back to me, long after
: the PAYPAL payment is reversed back to him. And I'm out a $5k
: SeaDweller.

: This is my first dishonourable Ebay, internet watch trade deal gone
: bad.

: I'm hoping for some advice. Can anyone offer some advice or better
: an experience of how they resolved a similar issue?

: Paypal seems to always work better for the buyer, not the seller.
: Fk, I'm not happy.

: Thanks a million in advance. Also, if you're a seller & use
: paypal folks beware!

: Stew.
