Non-Paying Buyer: kps835
« on: September 25, 2004, 03:53:10 PM »
Just a word to my fellow BR.com members that you might want to exercise caution when dealing with user "kps835."  I'm still waiting for payment on merchandise that was shipped in late July and confirmed as received.

If/when the situation is resolved to my satisfaction, I will remove this post.

Well, you received a bowling ball (confirmed via UPS), but I never received payment, so from where I sit, it *is* your fault.

NON-PAYING BUYER!

If a payment is made by money order, isnt there a way to get the money back if it is never received/cashed?  Then, a new money order can be issued and sent to the proper person?

That's my understanding.  That's also why, when I pay with a money order for a transaction on this site, I always forward the serial number of the money order, for tracking purposes.

kps835,

  It "should" be your problem, or at least a part of it. When you send a M.O., why don't you send it certified or registered mail, that way they can track it down.

 And before you say it, the extra cost is marginal at best and helps insure a smooth transaction.  " Not my problem" seems to be the prevalent thing for people to say these days.  Everybody knows there are glitches in the postal system, that is normal, but you made a deal to see that the seller gets his money for what you purchased, and until he does, this transaction is NOT complete.

 I noticed your signature has "kproshop" in it. If someone bought a ball from you, then you never recieved your payment, even though they swore they sent it, who would you be upset with, the buyer or the post office?

 I know it takes a little trouble on your part, but that is the responsible thing to do. And yes, I have had to do it also, and at my own expense.

Both the US postal service and most money order companies have a phone # you can call and enter the money order number  --- they will tell you if the money order has been cashed yet or not ---- If still not cashed, then a trace would  be in order.    Based on my experience, the BUYER has to be the one to initiate the trace, and yes there is a fee involved.  You can call the post office to get the phone number --- and the money order receipt  from Travellers, Am Express, or whoever the money order was purchased should have a number for tracking info/customer service, etc.......  NOT MY PROBLEM is not acceptable in this case -- the BUYER has to initiate the trace........

He really doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks and appears to "have left the premises" like Elvis.

Yes some sort of delivery receipt is in order.

If I was a person who liked to rip people off I think I'd reply, "I sent a money order not my problem" and then leave the website where I performed such magic.

Oh wait, that appears to have happened.
