I purchased a used iPhone 4 from edavies19 (Emily Marie Davies; emily davies (edavies19) on Twitter) on January 19th. The money was received by her through PayPal and I was sent a UPS 2nd Day Air tracking number. Here is the CB posting - http://forums.crackberry.com/f14/wts...4-16gb-577091/

She has not logged into CrackBerry since sending the tracking number and there has been no activity with the tracking. She has not responded to numerous PMs and emails.

While I am surprised given her posting history and forum "thanks", this is a warning to future persons who may deal with her. If anyone knows alternative ways of contacting her, please let me know.

better put in a dispute at paypal to try to get your money back is the only thing I can offer at this point

I agree, you can definitely get your money back and move on.

But if you also look she is not a very active member.
23x posts since 2008.

How many days has it actually been since the emails?

[MRCUR]

Unfortunately I can't put in a dispute since the money was sent as a gift. This is the unfortunate tradeoff for saving money on PayPal fees.

Her profile shows 283 posts, which is certainly not very active, but I also only show 127 posts yet I'm pretty active in the Marketplace (which doesn't count toward posts of course).

I sent her PMs Thursday and Friday and then emailed her directly on Saturday and Sunday. In the last email I said I'd created this thread on CB if I hadn't heard from her on Monday.

Have you tried contacting UPS?

[MRCUR]

Have you tried contacting UPS?

No, I have not. I'm not entirely sure what I would be able to get from them besides the tracking status (which I know).

[pkcable]

Do they show it as having been picked up yet? Perhaps there was a weather delay. What is the status, do they just have it as reported as ready for shipping? Or do they show it actually picked up by UPS, or dropped off?

[bambamboom]

Dang man, now I know why you were so hesitant on dealing online. I hope you get your money back. What about that tracking number she gave you, was it fake?

[MRCUR]

Here's the tracking number for all to see - 1Z92EA030291285478

It seems like she really did make/pay for a label, but never gave the phone to UPS.

[MRCUR]

She logged into the forums a little earlier. I'm sure she's seen my numerous PMs and emails by now. Haven't heard one thing from her.

[Chucky1]

Still shows that the package has not been received by UPS. By the looks of her Twitter, she is having a problem with American Eagle making a fraudulent charge on her card?.?.

[MRCUR]

I noticed that as well, but that is from late December. I'm just disappointed that even though she's logged back into CB she has yet to even acknowledge me. If there's a legit reason the phone can't be sent and the money has been used, I'd like to at least hear it.

I totally understand.

I tried emailing her, hopefully it will spur her in to action.

Thanks pkcable, I appreciate it.

Quick update - still have had no communication with edavies19. The police have been contacted.

[bigsteveatt]

That sucks, no PayPal claim since you sent it as a gift. In my field we have a very important acronym: CYA (Cover Your A**). No time to adopt that motto like the present.

A small bit of clean up done.

[MRCUR]

I have received the money back from edavies19.

Nice to see you get your money back. Props to pkcable.
