This guy duped me a fake VC Jawa and was and still is adamant that it's genuine!

Now he's got it back, as I tracked it and has been confirmed he's got it, he's refusing me a refund so a PAYPAL CLAIM is now in process!!

Here's a brief about it all if you don't already know...

Hey guys just had a response from PayPal...

To continue, we need documentation supporting your claim that the item is
not authentic.

Here’s what you need to do.

1. Obtain a document from an unbiased third-party, such as a dealer,
appraiser, or an organization that is qualified in the area of the item in
question (other than you). This document should contain the following:
• Detailed description as to why the item is not authentic (i.e., how the
item differs from an authentic item, how the person evaluating the item
determined that it is not authentic, etc.).
• If possible, the document should include a serial number and must be on
letterhead that includes the name, address, and phone number of the
authenticating party so that we can contact them directly, if necessary.

2. Fax the documents to PayPal at 08707 303 196. Please include a cover
sheet with your fax that includes the email address registered to your
PayPal account and the ID number of your claim (PP-001-524-441-916). That
way we can attach the documents to your claim as quickly as possible.

3. We need to receive your fax by November 05, 2011 in order to proceed
with the investigation of your claim. If we don’t receive your fax by
November 05, 2011, your claim will be canceled and no further action will
be taken on our part.


Do I have any hope? I don't know who can do this for me?
 
TBH though Ham, with trying for bargain VCJ you're gonna win some and lose some. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get your money back, don't get me wrong, but it's all in the game, right?
 
Wait, you've sent it back, right? So how the hell do they think you can authenticate it now!? :?

I would call them if I were you.
 
Cheers Emiel. He stated over and over that it was a genuine one and even now I've sent it back he STILL says the same thing!!

I know about taking risks on some when they DON'T KNOW if it's real BUT if they say it is and you go through Ebay/PayPal then you know you should be covered. The guy has 100% feedback dude with over 740 score!!
 
Yes I've sent it back and the only way to authenticate is from my photos.

Questions to ask:

Is the one in HIS picture the same as the one in MINE?

If so then is the one in mine genuine OR are the two besides it genuine?

His picture

My picture

Btw I KNOW that the Jawa itself is wrong, this isn;t the issue here as I knew from the start I could get that replaced no problems.

You're also taking risks when they tell you it's real though mate. You know the VC Jawa is a scammer's favourite.
 
I know I'm a graphic designer and I know these things can be faked no problem but in the time scale er no! I received the item in the morning but was at work so my other half signed for it, took photos of the package so I knew what it was and he sent it in a JIFFY BAG!! I got home opened it and instantly knew it was fake so straight away sent a message to him saying I was sending it straight back and did so the very next day.

No, you're fighting the wrong fight Ham. He told you to return it, you've sent it back and he received it but is not refunding you. And you've got proof! You just have to convince the PP people of this. You don't have to prove it's fake. Trust me, call them
 
But from a guy who originally sent me a second chance offer but stupidly I asked him to change the postage as it was too high and he then sent me a PayPal invoice with the amendments. Thus not going through Ebay!
 
No Emiel, I told HIM I was sending it back and he was having none of it! Do I still call them?
 
Explain the situation, tell them what you did. You may get to talk to someone who's more amenable.
 
Ok, I'll give it a go. Have PM'd Steve too when first heard.

Thanks Emiel, really appreciate your help dude. This could turn out to be an expensive lesson!!
 
Opportunity creates the thief. Even if he had 100% feedback. When you guys went off ebay the chance must have been too good to resist. See also the case Marco (Dr Dengar) and his trilogo Ewok Village.
