Update for anyone who was reading about the whole
Remote Start issue.
PayPal being PayPal, they decided in his favor. (Which proves to me that they OBVIOUSLY dont read the sellers comments and evidence). They took the 80$ back from me, and held it until I recieved the package then they would refund him the money.
I got the package a few days later with nothing in it besides one wire, and package for the extra remote I had for it.
Obviously, I appeal it on PayPal, call them and they couldnt have apoligized any more, I told them its not their fault he did that, but they need to start reading the information the buyer sends! Anyways, they said I just needed a police report faxed to them to prove basically that nothing was in it, and then I would get my money back from him.
Easy enough right? No. I finally got out today and went to the local PD, (Its a State Dept.)
The lady was acting like I was speaking chinese to her. She couldnt have been anymore rude or disrespectful, and told me that shes not gonna do anything because its a civil matter. She said I would have to goto the courthouse and I would sue the guy for $3000, and they would subpena (Sp?) him and I pretty much have a 99.9% chance of winning.
Im not that big of a d*ck, im not sue-happy and im not gonna sue the guy. She told me to call them and see what else I can do because shes not wasting her time with this.
So I sit out in the lot, call them, explain what happened, and he told me this is NOT a civil matter, its a form of Mail Fraud/Theft. He told me to go back and tell them that, and that it happens alot. So I did, I went in and explained that to her. She started being a hell of a lot nicer at this point. She said well all her guys are at the range and she cant contact them now. Id have to come back Monday and sit down with one of them. (I only have 10 days to appeal, and started it last week I thought, so I told her I dont have until monday, and she told me that there was nothing she could do then; come to find out, I have until the 15th
)
So instead of waiting, I went to the county sherriff, and they pointed me in the right direction, and then spoke to a deputy. He pretty much was the same way. He told me that PayPal is just lazy, and doesnt want to look at the evidence so they want me todo all this work that they dont have to. I told him its just a police report...they need 3rd party evidence to prove that there was nothing in the box. (Actual quote from PP representitive).
So he handed me a business card and told me to have them contact him and to have a nice day as he closed his door in my face.
At this point im furious. I call PP again, explain the story again adding what this guy said. So after all the apologies, he put me on hold to talk to his supervisor to see what they can do since the police simply wont file a report for me. He asked if by any chance I got the deputy's name, and I said yea, gave it to him and he gave that to his supervisor. He said they will contact me within 48 hours, and most likely I will get my money back without having to file the report.
This is how I sent it out:
This is how the kid returned it:
With the exception of the remote plastic being in there and some eBay reciept for a 20$ piece.
