I purchased a few cards from another forum , 2003XL Darren Lockyer jersey card  w/redemption and 2 x Team of the Century Cards, luckily i paid Paypal Goods & Services, i asked the guy to send registered post, not realising at the time he was in NZ, he agreed and i said i will pay the $20 once cards arrive, anyway a week or so later cards arrive and no Redemption card, i send him a message, he said he will check when he gets home, then he says he sent it, tell him he has not, i check the customs/consignment note, it only lists 3 cards, anyway keep sending him messages he starts to ignore me, i got Brendan to send him an email/message he replies and says he will contact me, which he never does, so eventually after a month i put in a claim (partial claim), i send paypal the deal thread, the consignment note and a Stat Dec outlining what happened, they tell me i have to send cards back within 10 days, via a courier/post that confirms he received cards (tracking/signed), then they will reimburse me the full amount, i tell them that i only want partial amount and by me sending the cards back i will be out of pocket, anywhere between $20-$40 depending on courier cost, the Paypal representative basically said bad luck, i said to him not good enough i have done exactly what you say to do, pay via goods/services etc, then i cop a loss by following YOUR procedure's, he offers $10 for my troubles, told him i want to speak to a manager, he tells him he will say the same thing to me, i insisted on speaking to a manager, eventually i do, tell him my story, he obviously checks all the paper work etc and my paypal history, says we will reimburse you $100 back for your trouble, morale of the story don't take No for an answer when you know you are RIGHT...

can't believe you had to go through all of that, but I'm glad it has been all sorted for you. Mojo to you for the New Year

Far out that's insane. Hope it doesn't happen again to you. Good mojo for 2015. Anything has to be better then this year.

they told me if he doesn't agree to partial refund they cant do anything, i told them as if a scammer would agree to that, luckily the manager understood where i was coming from and Paypal actually paid the partial refund, not him...

Mojo to all for 2015, may your box/case bust be filled with MOJO...
