Glad to see some of the members had better luck.
Transaction was done a while ago, months ago. He had plenty of time to take care of all this and will just ignore my emails anymore.

SInce I am not the type to let this go, I will probably end up finding out where he is located and show up at his location to claim the money, or get a refund in parts. He seems to be about 3-4 hours away from me, which is close enough.
I just don't see the point of ripping off a member for $70 when he probably got the refund from Fedex on top of that.

I will try to contact Paypal again, to see if there is any other way to solve the problem.
Thanks for all the advice

he is far too anonymous of a user to be selling parts, IMHO

I've never even heard of that member. Does he have a lot of posts?

report the claim to paypal. if the seller ignores paypal, you get your money.

Not if there is no money in his account. Paypal does not have the clearance to withdraw money from you without your permission, unless it is in your paypal account. But, his account WILL go negative, and I imagine it is not long before they send him to collections.

when did you buy it?
when did you send it back?
Has he received it yet?
did you pay with paypal via a credit card?

Is your paypal account linked to a credit card? If so, ring your credit company and tell them the story...they may be able to reverse the transaction, based on you not getting what you paid for (at least this what my brother was able to do in a similar situation here in Australia)...it'll totally burn you with PayPal however. They kick you off, never to return. So it may depend how much you like paypal, and how much you lost on the trunk lid.

At the end of the day though, Euromethod should just do the right thing and sort it for you. Don't forget that this forum has a transaction feedback section.

If FedEX ruled that the cause of damage was insufficient packaging then they are in no way obligated to pay out on an insurance claim.

If the seller is ignoring you... and Paypal won't issue a redund.... sucks to be you.

Really you are going to get the short end of the stick here, FedEX doesn't care and won't be convinced to either.

This is true. They funding goes back to the shipper on a claim as they are the purchasers of the insurance. Did you pay via paypal by chance?

Yes, I did pay with paypal and filed a claim but nothing happened.
I don't have the trunk and no money. that is the current situation.

So, just trying to figure this out, you don't have the trunk anymore either?

[naika]

did you have shipping insurance? if not than i say, you cant really do anything about it.
if had than the shipping company would have to pay.
if none they wont do anything and tell you get ahold of the seller.
he could if he wanted too in a decently kind way, take it back with a refund. you guys pay each shipping. but other than that, i dont think you could do anything cept take the trunk to a body shop to fix or re-sell and get a new one.

just my o2
hope everything works out though some way...

Yes, the trunk was insured and was picked up by Fedex. I don't have it anymore. Fedex will only reimburse the shipper when it is a matter of damage and they refused to file a claim on my name.
I asked many times for a refund but without success so far
