"Everytime I think I'm out, they pull me back in."
-Michael Corleone, Godfather 3
Mike actually paypal'd me back $201.00 WHILE WE WERE ON THE PHONE TOGETHER and I IMMEDIATELY refunded him the $201 as he overpaid me (Please take note that we were on the phone together during this time).
I explained to him that he overpaid by $5.00 and that he could easily click into the transaction and select the 'refund' link at the bottom of the page. There's no reason for him to overpay and waste $5.00 of his money. My wife said I was FOOLISH for doing that but like I said, I'm an honest businessman and would expect the same gesture if I overpaid someone when I could have simply clicked a 'refund' link in paypal.
He used his debit card to fund the transaction so he couldn't refund my original transaction as my refund would take upwards of 3 days to clear back to his account. I tried to contact him each day during this time and I could not contact him. He utimately told me that I kept the snakes for more than 24hrs and he would not refund my money!!!
I guess I am truly the dumb-ass in this whole transaction and for a lousy $5.00 that I tried to save him as he overpaid me. Like I said, I'm a legitimate businessman with old world values and I ass-u-me(d) he was a upstanding businessman as well. I didn't expect him to evade me and ultimately tell me to "screw off" because I had the snakes for more than 24 hours.
Perhaps this whole situation is my fault and although many people would call me an idiot for refunding his refund for the sake of saving him $5.00, my character would not allow me to have a man overpay me when there was no reason to.
I created this thread because what I "think" happened is that Mike had time to contact Strictly Reptiles to return the snakes and they told him that he couldn't. I "think" I gave him an "out" by refunding his refund as he had the money BACK on his account. Although I was under the understanding that he would refund using the correct 'refund' link through paypal once the money cleared back to his account, he took this as an opportunity to keep the money and evade me totally.
Once again, my kindness in order to save a man $5.00 cost me $195.00.
Regardless of what happened, I paid for cb and received wc snakes from him. I'm at the mercy of paypal now and I did not expect such a lenghtly dialogue at the onset of my posting. Take this for what it's worth.
