If you have made a purchase, rather than a money transfer, then put in an incident with PayPal.

If PayPal keep closing the job, and you have paid by PayPal from a credit card, then also raise a job with the credit card. Then the credit card has to talk to PayPal and raise a job. That one should stay open till something happens.

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

paid with paypal can,t get any any reply there, they have said transaction was ok case closed , hence the request , im dumb on these dam computer sites , age thing i guess,

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

When I was ripped off by a large computer company D... I put in a job to the credit card, a guy from the credit card rang me in a rage about PayPal taking all this money and not doing anything. So he said he would withdraw the credit card transaction till they did something. That's what he did. The job with PayPal then stayed open. Eventually it worked out, but I'm not sure who refunded the overcharge. I doubt D... paid up as they are very tricky to deal with. D... tried to get me to close the PayPal job.

wouldnt be surprised if it eventually shows up in Cali.


the postal system has been a mess for a few years now.

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

I am about 45 minutes from there, but honestly I am not in the PI business. My wife does know one that they use for their work. I can have her check but in all likelyhood he will charge a fee.
Stinks that you got the shaft, but if I were you I would still hold out a bit of hope.
I sent a part to Aus last fall and was quoted 6 weeks the guy got the package in 5 days!

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

I looked the address up on Zillow there is a house on the property a couple of trailers and pickups,so it is not an empty lot.Whether Steven lives there or not is another story,wish you luck hope it was not a con.

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

77 birdman & rocket 1 , picture of his place shows pickup same as his profile , so looks to be correct, he never sent tracking number, asked several times , now defriended me, its now nearly 8 weeks , parcel has not turned up at our freight company in CA , , thanks to other folk who have suggested things , looks like might take up 77 birdmans offer , Back to working on the A,s , spring is here in NZ ,

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

Is your credit card involved with the PayPal transaction ? If so, contact the cc company, they should help you out.

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

I had a credit with pay pal , I will check up on that thanks

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

I ordered

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

Checked was not on c/card as had a credit , I have now changed it to link to c/card ,
Why do things have to be so complicated for old folk ? Too much time spent pressing buttons & usually the wrong ones, Given up on p/pal just can,t get answers, etc , Nice sunny spring day at 60*

IMO, dealing with foreigners is always risky no matter what country they are from. Too often, they think they can get away with all sorts of $#!T just because the person they are dealing with is so far away. That said, I have done it lots of times and have been fairly lucky.
Derek, you are often in the US - does this fellow know that? wink, wink - nudge, nudge!

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

synchro 51 visits to date had 8 weeks planed this year, BUT frekin virus has put paid to that , hears hoping 2021 but if airfares are what im hearing once flying again they are over 5 times previous charges, only time will tell, Currently if you could get out its 2 weeks quarantine on return at a cost of $4000, per head, we may have had the best times ???

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

Indeed! I think you might be right and the US is likely to be the last country we can go - things are so out of control there. No one is allowed into Australia without 2 week's isolation at their own expense either.
As for high air fares, I suspect that to get people flying again, they will be low for a while. Time will tell.

Re: Near Dover Delaware
 

Here's your "friend" Steven's Facebook page if that might be of any help:
https://www.facebook.com/steven.jayne.10

I didn't see any Model A's in his "collection" and not really the old Ford BBQ collector kinda guy I would guess.

He works as a welder for this company so you might be able to track him down there:

I hope your Ford BBQ eventually arrives, but in the mean time why not file a claim through PAYPAL for an undelivered item. If the seller can not produce a shipment tracking number to verify that the item was shipped and received, then you should be able to get your payment back from PAYPAL at least (unless you sent your payment as "Friend" or "Family" in which case you will not get reimbursed by PAYPAL).

What is the eBay item number of your missing Ford BBQ? Perhaps it will show up again on eBay for sale a second time!

Was it one of these Ford BBQ's:

Best of luck.
