[NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN]

HI,I SOLD A LOVELY KOA GUITAR TO A BUYER IN THE STATES.I AM IN IRELAND.WAS PAYED, WENT INTO ACCOUNT A WEEK OR SO LATER.FOUND IT HAD BEEN STOPPED AND FUNDS WITHHELD.BUYER SAID THAT THE GUITAR WAS MAHOGANY AND NOT KOA AND ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT WANT IT ,HE WOULD KEEP IT IF WE REFUNDED HIM $ 425.
I EXPLAINED TO PAYPAL THAT THIS WAS NONSENSE AND A COMMON SCAM.MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN AN IDENTICAL GUITAR IN ENGLAND AND SENT PHOTOS TO PAYPAL WITH AN OFFER OF COVERING LETTER FROM THE OWNER AND HIS REPAIRMAN SHOULD THEY NEED IT.
BUYER HAD MY GUITAR AND PAYPAL HAD MY MONEY.I, THE FEE PAYER ,HAD NOTHING.
PAYPAL SAID THE BUYER WAS TO RETURN GUITAR AND THAT WHEN I RECIEVED IT THEY WOULD GIVE HIM A FULL REFUND INCLUDING POSTAGE FROM IRELAND.
I SAID THIS WAS LUDICROUS ETC ETC.BUT I HAD TO SWALLOW THE DECISION AS THEY HAD MY MONEY AND BUYER HAD GUITAR.
THIS LEFT ME $125 OUT OF POCKET ON MY SALE.!!
I ASKED PAYPAL TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GUITAR WAS SENT BACK IN THE ORIGINAL BOX ,GIVING PROOF OF ORIGIN,AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IRISH CUSTOMS KNEW IT WAS BEING RETURNED.
HOWEVER,THAT WAS TOO EASY.
GUITAR TURNED UP IN A BRAND NEW MARTIN BOX WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR REVENUE.
THE POST OFFICE WILL NOT RELEASE THIS UNTIL 100 euros DUTY IS PAYED.
I NOW HAVE TO HAVE ***URANCE FROM PAYPAL THAT THEY WILL DEDUCT THIS FROM BUYERS FRAUDALANT REFUND.
IF NOT,I WILL BE APPROX $270 OUT OF POCKET ON A SELL THAT SHOULD HAVE NETTED ME $ 975.
I HAVE TOTALLY LOST ALL TRUST IN PAYPAL AND HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO HELP IN THIS MATTER AND WILL NEVER EVER EVER USE THEM AGAIN.
I WILL POST THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME ALTHOUGH I GUESS WHAT IT WILL BE.
