Overall rating: WORST TRANSACTION EVER!!!!! ( feared I would not get my money back)
This was the worst transaction I've had, EVER! I sent this guy my money through paypal. Got the camera, even pack a few rolls of old film which was nice. When I tested it, it didn't hold up. the mirror/ curtain would stop half way through when I pointed the camera above the horizon. ok, fine. it happens. I tell him and he says to send it back and he will refund me. I end up having to pay an extra $40 to send it back to canada on my dime. He wouldn't pay for that even though he sent me a broken cam. (when I sell, if it is my fault, I take care of things because its the honorable thing to do). alright fine, I'm out $40, I want the rest of my money back. 2 or 3 weeks go by. The tracking says that it "attempted delivery". This was 3 weeks ago. He hasn't tried to contact me to tell me, what so ever. I had to send him another message saying that it was attempted to be delivered. He then tells me that they are charging a fee and that its my fault( because I filled out the paper work required? with the contents of the box?please, give me a break). I doubt that any postal/parcel worker would attempt delivery to a house and ask for money right then and there. I don't believe anything from him at this point. I think he just wants me to send him more money. He then told me that he WILL NOT refund my money until he has examined the camera, YET he would not go get the camera. So at this time, he had MY money, and his camera stuff on hold. (why should it matter, he has my money right?). Giving me attitude through messages. A week goes by. Again I think he wants me to send him more money. messaging back and forth. I was about to take things up with him through paypal (it was getting that serious). I told him to call me so we can talk. Then he miraculously refunds my money. (which I had to wait another week for it to transfer to paypal. It came through today, and this is why I'm writing this now.
the following statement is my personal recommendation:
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON! HE IS UNTRUSTWORTHY! AND HAS BAD BUSINESS ETHICS!
