Question For You Guys....

[Slammed 5,000+ posts]

Here is the situation:

Subwoofer is sold in working condition. Sub then is taken out of the vehicle once Paypal deposit is received.

Sub is tested out a week later, and its blown. Seller tells buyer about the situation immediately. Buyer is aware and considers his options.

Money order arrives from Canada the next day (not yet cashed). Seller waits on the Buyer's decision.

After a few days, buyer cannot find the money order receipt. Demands payment via check or money order (no paypal)....plus $5 for the money order fee that he, the Buyer, was charged. Money order still not cashed.

The Seller has to pay back the deposit money and send the money order back....but what about the money order fee? Seller also needs to pay for the money order that he is purchasing to cover the deposit.

Whats does everyone think about all of this?

Should the Seller pay the Buyer's fee for the money order?

no its not your fault that he didn't keep the money order reciept. I'd mail his MO right back to him

$5 fee? wtf? 50 cents ftw

Yea, seriously... 50 cents or at most a buck at a money order shark outlet.

You are being honest and up-front. Probably the gratious thing is to cash the MO and send back the full amount plus a buck for the MO fee (if real), since the f'ing idiot can't seem to "find the receipt" for something he's so concerned about getting reimbursed for (can you say "shady"?).

Tell the person you'll add a buck for the MO processing fees. If he can cough up the receipt for some strange $5 insane MO fee, you'll send him another $4 and be done with it.

Sorry it'll be a pain in your anus, but that's the trouble I'd go through in this situation, just to stand by your integrity.

So you're getting back a blown subwoofer? Doesn't sound like a very good deal.

Any guarantees made?

umm Seller should pay for the money order as he was the reason for the non sale, but no one pays $5 for a money order. Most expensive I have seen is $1.30 and most places are $.69-$.99 so asking $5 is bullshit.

I emailed him telling him that I will meet him halfway, by covering $2.50 of his money order.

I have to pay for the money order to him and the delivery confirmation etc.

Im going to be out close to $5

....and a Subwoofer (still dont know what happened with it)

If he accepted paypal (that is the way he paid for the deposit) he would probably charge me paypal fees as well.

delivery confirmation just in case the money order gets lost in the mail....he has no receipt for his money order //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Well, Boo @ him unless you sent it to him blown. Get pics of the coil readings before you go through the hassle; Maybe they just don't know. =-\

Sucks though.

I was about to ship when I realized it was blown

As soon as I received the deposit, I took it out of my car. I tested it and sounded fine. A week later....poof!
