peelin on it - Anyone get a ball yet?
« on: July 16, 2005, 02:41:42 PM »
I was just informed 10 days after mailing the money order that "He never got the money order, and that "I" need to check and see if anyone cashed it. I have done many many deals - and mailed probably hundreds of money orders in the last 5 years - NEVER EVER has one failed to reach its target. Has ANYONE received a ball yet from "peelin on it"??  
I recommend EXTREME caution until a few "known" users report whether or not they received any merchandise from this individual.

Another warning sign - "tenpinnightmare" pops up saying he just received his 2 Fuzes! Anyone seen this identity before?? Only post in the last 30 days. Probably the first post ever? Not exactly a "ringing endorsement". Hmmmm. Starting to smell like a rip-off. Was any one else besides me stupid enough to mail a money order?

I haven't yet determined that this is a rip-off. JUst said that it's "starting to look like one".
I only reported what has transpired so far. The main purpose of this post was to get reports from anyone else with a "track record" on this forum who may have had a recent successful transaction, and to urge caution until we see some successful reports. It seemed unusual that the only report was from a user I can't ever recall seeing, and who hasn't posted for a long time.
Anyway - I will attempt to track this money order and see where it was cashed and by whom. I will report my findings.
Eight working days is a long time for the US Post Office to move a letter across the country. My bills make it in two days. Never seen more than 3 unless it's a package. Oh well - maybe one of the horses came up lame and it will pull into town eventually?
Still would appreciate seeing more replies from all who've had a successful transaction with peelin on it.

RANDY-O .. I think this is a legitimate request. He has asked you to check on the Money Order .. I'm not sure how much time they will require before they STOP/RE-ISSUE .. but YOU seem to think enough time has elapsed for your mail to be delivered. See what the MO company thinks!

Since you are the sender I think this is a wise request from the receiver. Until you find it's been cashed .. it might be better to hold up on your comments! You have the next move .. HE CLAIMS NON-RECEIPT AS OF TODAY .. you think he should have received it .. do your checking!

Let us know what you find!

HEY RANDY O YOU WANT TO BLAST ME AND QUESTION ME. I AM AN EBAY POWER SELLER WITH ALMOST 300 POSITIVE FEEDBACKS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND MOST OF THEM COST ALOT MORE THAN BOWLING BALLS (KKAAAROE). MY DEAL WITH THIS GUY WENT COOL.

 I HAVE PACKAGES AND MONEY ORDERS FROM BUYERS OR SELLERS RUN LATE OR GET LOST OCCASIONALLY.

SO I THINK YOU SHOULD CHILL.

tenpin...
I chilled a while ago - you should chill as well. Read it carefully. Nobobdy blasted YOU. It was more of a statement wondering if someone had used your old identity. I also have a perfect Ebay rating (buying and selling - randyo-1). As stated earlier, once I receive information back from the money-order search, I will see where this goes.

tenpinnightmare - I reread the posts and see one time where I inadvertantly placed your name where peelin on it's name should have been. Sorry about that. This post is NOT about you. I have corrected that error.

Not taking sides here.  I do question the efficiency of our postal system though.

Last year I purchased a ball of Jkiser01.  Took almost 3 weeks for the money order to get from Illinois to Texas.

Purchased a ball earlier this month for T.Brockette.  Again, the money order took around 2 weeks to get from Florida to Texas.

Thankfully my reputation allowed the sellers to know I had actually sent the money order.  If I had been a new poster I could see where they might have questions.

I can understand everyone getting a little worried doing business on the site, especially with the few bad apples that crop up from time to time.

This transaction doesn't seem to fit the normal scenario though.  I see contact between both parties.  Seems to me it's just a glitch.

I'm with SrKegler on this and question our Postal system...

I had a deal with g_thing and I sent him a money order as payment. Even after 3 weeks the money order still did not get there !!!...So I called and voided the money order and sent him Paypal


Give the Postal system LOTS of time

I RARELY do a transaction unless it is Paypal, or the seller has a business VISA account. However, I occasionally make an exception if I want the item bad enough.
JOE - I've done a LOT of deals - both here and Ebay. I am usually very patient. The seller and I are communicating - we don't need your help. Thanks anyway.
