Re: I need HMT's help... computer/internet saavy
 

you know, I cant say i've manually typed in a email address into paypal, for reasons like this, normally its copy'd and pasted from a PM/Email/website... agree'd that there HAS to be some sort of recourse, especially if you marked for "goods", clearly this greg ratliff doesnt intend on sending you any goods.

If you never signed up for paypal. It would just sit in your paypal account until the person creates an account from the email that it was sent to. Until then you have an option to cancel. So in short.. what i should have said was.. if it was sent to an email with no paypal attached to it.

thanks doods. so far, i'm looking into the greg ratliff of nashville TN, and I managed to get his (i think its his) address, home phone, and business phone, but he hasn't answered or returned a message yet. I think its an older guy though, which makes me think he would hardly ever touch a computer, which is worrisome

Re: I need HMT's help... computer/internet saavy
 

You should be thrilled that he never touches computers. Then he may not have a Paypal account. Have you called Paypal and asked them what they can do? Does he have a Paypal account?

Re: I need HMT's help... computer/internet saavy
 

I'd try to contact him for a while first, and if he doesn't you could just file a claim that he never shipped. Since there won't be a tracking number paypal will eventually refund it. I'd definitely try getting it back without filing a claim first though.

Jesus Christ, stop ------- with paypal and call your credit card company. When will people learn that paypal just processes credit card charges and if you have a problem you should just call your credit card company?

Re: I need HMT's help... computer/internet saavy
 

i dont think they will let you process it if its going nowhere, pretty sure he's got a paypal acct. even if he's only used it once.
