My Feedback:
Joseph Collins of Hudson Valley Vapor was purchasing a Provari 2.5 from me this past weekend. We negotiated a price plus shipping.
The Buyer sent payment via PayPal but informed me that he had problems with his account and mistakenly sent the payment twice.
I received a notice that the payments were pending due to an inquiry into the account.
During this time the Buyer Joseph Collins contacted me asking for a refund because he “found something better and less expensive”. So he reneged on the deal.
I refunded him the total of his payments minus the PayPal fee I had to pay for the initial transaction which was about $6.80. But much to my chagrin his payments are still pending so I’m out $213 unless he returns it.
Today I received an email notification from PayPal that Mr Collins has disputed the charges saying the Items Were Not Received.
I was requested to Refund the money to settle the dispute. I’ve been in contact with PayPal Resolution Center detailing this entire transaction. I will be reporting him as fraud to PayPal. My refund is pending because I fortunately didn’t transfer money from my bank account into my PayPal account. However PayPal won’t cancel it because I used Family and Friends.
I’m not sure if this guy is just a jerk for reneging on a deal or a scammer but I would not do any business with him or Hudson Valley Vapor.
