This will throw most but my wife gave me the new Dami Im CD, she is the girl who won the last Australian X Factor. Ken

May Santa's deliveries be a smooth as clockwork (pun intended) Ken

Yes, but yet it still keeps getting through when all others fail..... Ken

I will add that I have seen this myself. Sometimes when it reaches China via a different entry point (Beijing instead of Guangzhou) the dealer really is at the mercy of the postal system and they can only tell you the estimate the postal worker tells them. You need to remember the 2 towns are over 2,000klm apart so it is not like they can just pop down and pick it up from that PO. That said the dealer should have the details from the PO that they have the package, he should not be talking about starting a claim unless he has reason to believe it has gone missing. Ken

It's EMS which is a Chinese owned courier, stick around long enough and you will see many more stranger things than that. Yes be patient, as long as the number is reading it's good. Ken

A very sad day, even though we all knew it was coming. Ken

G'day sport lot's of us Aussies here. Those horror stories sound like they are from sites off our board. The names you hear are from our TD list, you will find them on our main page. Ken

Yes all that is fair and just for the record we have a different set of rules here as the Admin team will not involve ourselves in m2m sales. I can easily see how you have been wronged by the seller but not so much by RWI admin team. My only point has been that RWI, just like all the boards, have the right to set their own rules and expect them to be followed. Finally PP disputes in this hobby should be used only on proven scammers, it's a case of the less this is done the less we draw attention to ourselves. Ken

Just to be clear, if what the OP laid out is correct then yes he was the wronged party. However RWI has a policy on how to deal with these situations and they also have a very strong policy against PP disputes...why? Because it is the people who use PP as a first option that are destroying our hobby, most dealers who have years of excellent reviews cannot use PP because of the selfish, unrealistic or instant gratification people who, by starting PP disputes, have seen their accounts closed. Even this forum which has been a safe haven for so many has suffered many problems because of PP issues. All the RWI team asked was to be given time to sort the issue their way, no one would have begrudged the OP starting a dispute if time was running out and there was no resolution but he states clearly that he opened the dispute within days. The other party may very well be trying to scam...but then he may also have simply gone on a business trip too. As I said before all these boards are privately owned, they have their own rules and if you wish to be a part of the community then you are expected to follow those rules, your preferred business practices simply do not count.

Talk to member 'Gran', he is a big fan so if there is any good reps he probably knows where they are. Ken

2 points...1) It is Trailboss's forum you play by his rules or you do not belong. Sorry if that sounds harsh but you should not bring an eBay mentality to a private forum. 2) PP disputes are a very last option, you have 45 days if you pass the 30 day mark and are no closer to resolution I am sure Trailboss would be more sympathetic, what you did was to circumvent RWI's resolution process. Yes you may have been the wronged party in the transaction but that still does not give you the right to disregard forum rules. Ken

Now this is accurate, my honorary Chinese name is Wun Hung Loh Ken

have you asked me? Ken

This is not an official opinion but I'm sorry to say that your end of the sale was very sloppy too. Yes if he has the watch back and it is re-listed then that is an admission that the watch is in good order, so your refund should be paid before he re-sells. Ken
