Looks like online harassment is one to add to the list; posting comments on my FB page and sending me messages. And all because he wanted to rip me of for £100. He could have earned that honestly in the time he's putting into this.

It's just reporting the post, rather than the overall issue. Actually, that option isn't there.

Yes

He's just started going to my posts on Facebook and posting sarky comments.

I hope so (he says he's going to get me booted out of some groups there)...

I've just been contacted by someone else who bought the SansAmp and has had the failed PayPal refund. He may be dropping in.

Yes, I was wondering about that too.

My latest communication...

He threatened to sue me for slander, so I asked him to point out anything I’ve said which isn’t true. All for ripping me off for £100. He’s said he wants to meet to pay me back, but I’ve responded that I’ve already given him two means of repayment that he’s requested, so why should I believe this time.

Yup - could've been anything.

Actually he gave me the track & trace evidence which only shows the item being in the Midlands.

I'm sure...

I debated starting this there.

That's good advice.

Yep - he said his daughter sent them. He didn't pay the refund last night, so I'm putting the timeline together and will be progressing it today.

He said he posted it, but it didn't arrive, so I agreed that he could try posting it again; after several days with no confirmation of posting I asked for the refund, which he agreed to. He said it had been returned to him and gave me a screendump of the delivery proof; on looking at the tracking number (PN518894078GB), the track & trace info only shows it being in the Midlands (I'm in Berkshire). He's now threatened me with legal action for slander and I've responded that if he points out anything I have written which is untrue, I will be happy to withdraw or correct it.

The seller has apparently seen this thread and is now claiming that delivery of the goods was attempted, but they won’t give me the proof of that, so I don’t know. ive asked them to point out precisely what is untrue in what I’ve posted and I will happily retract/correct it. meanwhile, they’ve still got my money.

I’ve bought and sold several things on FB via groups, but this was just off marketplace. I think this one has been an eye-opener and has shaken my confidence though.

He has assured me he'll be refunding this evening; it's not there yet. (I mentioned I knew about his suspended sentence and he tried to style it out.)

Seems like he's currently under a suspended sentence from January for the caravan thing, so contacting the police might activate that.

Hmmm - not good - someone replied elsewhere with this... https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/single-mum-pensioners-ingoldmells-caravan-3743529 Someone else I know had another person contact them saying he'd ripped them off. I've just chatted on the phone with someone else who he owes money to.

Plus a selection of other things. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1037529046764643/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined

Hmmm - he's got 3 SansAmp items up. Items in Leicester.

He's come back and agreed to a refund; I've given him my bank details, so will hopefully get it back.

No - he never gave me tracking. He said he sent it, then he said he'd had other things go missing, then he said it was returned to him, then he said he'd send it again. Bank.
