Bad transaction with @jrhudson311 on a VF-31A Kairos. He advertised it as never having been transformed but the item I received has scratches, dings, dents, and paint chips everywhere. We could not agree on a partial refund, he offered $70, I requested $100. So I opened a Paypal dispute so that return shipping would be covered. Below is what I put in my claim:

“The item was described in the ad as never having been transformed. The item I received has dings, dents, and scratches all over indicating that it had been transformed. Also, 2 optional fist that are only used when the item has been transformed have been removed from their sealed baggies. I contacted the seller and we were unable to agree on a partial refund amount. If the seller does not agree to the amount I requested, please change the dispute to a return”

I put in the optional partial refund request to give him another chance to reconsider. I don’t know what he told Paypal but my claim was denied and closed in hours. So now I’m stuck with a banged up item, no partial refund, no return.

He could have at least accepted a return, he admitted in my chats with him that there were issues. He admitted he had 2, maybe he confused the two and sent me the one he’s transformed. I have screenshots of my chat with him in case he decides to edit them.

I have opened a dispute with my credit card.

 

Good Evening,

This will be the only statement on this matter for I feel it has been dragged out long enough already.  The buyer sent me about 7 pics, most of which have been shown in this thread, where he attempts to show damage.  I recognize immediately the dent in the little front wing as something that needs to be addressed but could not seriously consider the other photos that show paint chipping that was on both my 31A’s when they arrived and have been documented by others on this forum as the state they arrived from the factory.  The buyer at first was asking for a 20%-30% refund.  I could not justify such a refund based on the minor blemish that did not affect the function or form of the plane in any mode so I offered $70.  The buyer refused the refund then stated that if he did not get a $100 refund from me by EOD he would open a case with PayPal at which point I invited him to do so.  Upon opening the dispute with PayPal he was asking for a refund of either $100 or a total refund if the $initial amount could not be obtained.  Considering the amount of a full refund I immediately called PayPal and had the case escalated and begin discussing the issue with them.  I provided the original sales photo and upon further examination of the photo you can actually see the dent fairly clearly.  I want to point out at this point that I was not aware of the dent but took seriously that it was there which is why I offered a refund that I felt was reasonable.  The PayPal claims dept and I examined the other photos and they could not see anything that significantly, or in a minor fashion, affected form and/or function of the item.  At that point the case was closed in my favor as this was considered a case of buyer’s remorse.

              To close this out I would like to state that I was at fault for not noticing the dent, but that the buyer was also at fought for, at the very least, not closely examining the sales photo/and or asking for additional photos.   It’s unfortunate that the buyer has decided to take this route and is disappointing that my sales thread has been locked but we are all at the mercy of the admins and if that is there choice I will not waste any time debating it.  I will not be providing any further refunds to this buyer as I can not in my mind support the type of behavior that if one cannot get their way then they will simply retaliate by, in this case, attempting to get me black listed.  Honestly, at the end of the day, he will probably get credited back his $500 from his credit card company and get to keep the plane.  My suggestion, and opinion, is that if one is going to exercise such high standards they may want to avoid buying used items on a internet forum.  At this point I leave up the final decision to the admins and the court of public opinion.  Attached in this statement is the original sales photo were I have indicated the damaged area.

3am EST i believe for me.

It's always been 4 PM as long as I've been doing this. What time each individual retailer decides to actually open POs is another matter.

Amiami usually opens right on the dot. HLJ and HS follow at some random time after.

I suck, i can never remember lol

did we ever determine if preorders started at 4pm or 5pm Japan time?

Keep us up to date!

Is the pre-order on the 1st or 3rd?

My 0D is prepping for shipment from NY. No word on my 2 SSP's...

What was your shipping method?

Man, I can never remember, when does the PO wars start EST?

Yea I have need watching the thread for a couple weeks with all that has been said.  I'm over here just quietly thinking how what we have seen isn't even the final design........

I was also surprised by the payment request from NY.

I have one on order I placed on Friday at 1999 and one I placed a order for on Sunday at Amazon.jp.  both orders went through but I have not been charged for either yet.  Why would that be you guys think?

I was able to get one off of HS at 3am on the 20th but they have not charged me yet even though the order says "preparing order".  I have not ordered from HS before, do they typically have a delay in charging you?

Well, it's a toy of the same vehicle and the transformation is laid out in the anime, so yes, looks and transforms the same. It's like the Arcadia VF-0 compared to the Yamato, the differences aren't in how it looks but how it handles.

That makes more since to me as I was told in the past it's a whole "new" thing which I interpreted as being not just finished better but also reengineered 

I've been known to be dense, lol, but I hear that this one is a brand new design and what not but when I look at it it seems to transform the same way the yam one did.

What am I missing?

I mean if we are talking about stronger hinges and stuff I get that but to me (again, dense) it seems to transform the same.

Man I was looking for this thread yesterday and could not find it!  I chalk it up to user error lol.

So just to review, am I to understand that Arcadia re-engineered the whole bird?
