Was I Scammed?

[Oldie]

SX2233, I think it's the general consensus that it is the responsibility of the seller to ensure delivery of the item to the buyer. The only time the seller would not be 100% responsible is if the buyer agreed up front to ship uninsured and take the hit if anything happened.

Imagine you bought a product from a retail outlet, and en route to your house, it was damaged. Can you imagine any scenario where you would accept still paying for half of the item with zero physical property being delivered to you? You would sue if they tried to do that, and I have little doubt you would win.

Expecting him to take any hit on this at all is nothing short of ridiculous.

I do have tracking for this, and I posted it in paypal transaction, if the paypal judges are fair I think we both get 1/2 of the 480.

:

You have tracking that shows what?..That it was returned to you?

And that 50/50 thing is ridiculous , I hope you don't honestly think that's fair.

If the LCD was properly packed, it would have not been damaged unless the box was destroyed..so lets see some pics of this supposed damage

If you were the mod in hardforum, it will be depopulated in several days ban ban ban

No it would not be "depopulated" ....but the scamers would certainly be gone....and I have a funny feeling, your going to be gone ...depending on how this turns out...

I will guarrantee you that paypal will not side with you at all if you do not have online verifiable tracking showing delivery. And delivery back to you does not count. Rejoin the human race and pay this man his his money. You are a coward for hiding behind paypal and all your flimsy excuses.

seeing as how I have -480 in my paypal, what the hell would u do?

So you are saying you'll let paypal decide but it sounds like you have already removed the funds from it. If you want paypal to decide put the money back into the account.

When it is worked out, I will decide if SX2233 has access to forums besides this one. But suffice it to say, the product did not deliver, then he should get his money back.

Oldie is to NOT moderate this thread any more. I will handle it.

You will stay on topic or be banned.

a seller should ALWAYS protect himself by getting insurance on an expensive item. at the same time a buyer should ALWAYS protect himself by verifying the item will indeed be insured if the item is expensive.

it seems like both of you are new to selling/buying because both of you failed to do something that makes complete logical sense. it is only SLIGHTLY more the sellers fault and responsibility. if the tracking info falls in line with the story, the *cost* should be split 2/3 to seller, 1/3 to buyer, IMO. lcd should remain with the seller. this seems like the most fair scenario in my crazy mind at least

the buyer never received the goods, he should not lose ANY money. its the sellers responsibility to ensure the goods are protected and insured for damage. It sucks for sellers, but thats the deal. The seller should have insured the goods and included that in the shipping costs., this thread wouldnt exist if he had.

Correct. The only time I would disagree with this is if a package was left at a buyers because they signed off on the liability with the carrier and something happened to it.

How is the buyer having to pay ANY amount for an item he never received fair? From what I understand the LCD never arrived at the buyers location, he never saw it, never touched it, how is it fair that he should have to pay anything for something he never had in his hands?
