Hello all, Iāve been seeing buyers posting beware post for others to look out for possible scams. Today I will hopefully spread awareness to the danger in believing positive feedback threads. My troubles started when a yoyo I ordered from @EdDude came in and wasnāt quite as described. I was initially looking for a mint example of an edge beyond in turquoise and gold, praise be, @EdDude provides just as his feedback page says. But my excitement was cut short as soon as the throw came in and what was described as āPerfectā, wasnāt perfect at all. My normal procedure for receiving 2nd hand throws is as such; I immediately take pictures or every angle, check bearing status, and bearing seat and axle wear. After taking account of everything wrong with the yoyo( A lot for a āPerfectā yoyo), I concluded that it wasnāt as described. I immediately sent @EdDude pics of everything wrong and he immediately went to accusations of lies and deceit. Once he understood that what he sent was a farcry from what he described in his FS post, he admitted he hadnāt taken the time to inspect or throw the yoyo in quite some time, but still posted it as āperfect/mintā. Instead of offering a refund he offered a trade out, which in my opinion is fine, but I couldnāt accept knowing he currently owes me a perfect yoyo. So I stood firm wanting a refund. Now that we are up to date, he has ghosted me for a week and hasnāt responded to the paypal refund dispute. Seeing peoples stories of waiting too long for the original seller to try and get money for a refund has me worried as the buyers are usually SOL for waiting so long. Are there any ideas you all have to try and get my money back. Thanks.
EDIT: I want to add Iām 99% sure this was a mistake/accident on his part, but it depends on how we take care of accidents/mistakes like this that determine our character.
