If this was Paypal, sure they’d find in your favor and you’d win. In an actual court of law? Absolutely not. An entire waste of money if you ask me.

He has rights in the transaction, and a lawyer will ensure they are protected. He has a case, whether he prevails is yet to be seen. But your opinion is whack.

I’ve sold thousands of items, and on a non PayPal transaction, there is absolutely no way I would refund your money out of pocket on this, just being honest. If I knew I put the watch in the box, i would not take a $9k loss based on a stranger’s word. If UPS paid out the claim, of course I would then refund, but not until that’s point. I am completely with the seller on this.

Good to know. I will never do business with someone who would make a blanket statement like this. Read Takuya's post above. That's the correct answer.

Especially when the seller has been a member here for 8 years. This entire situation looks very fishy to me, especially when paired with the fact that the seller was willing to drive and meet the seller only 90 mins away, yet buyer refuses that and wanted shipment?
Some of you guys come across just like ebay’s Resolution department and defaulting to defending a buyer without looking at the entire situation and all facts presented.
With all that being said, I’m not saying you’re lying OP, just giving another side to this equation.

How the seller responds when something goes wrong defines their character. It's customary for the best sellers to refund once they know there wasn't a scam. The fact that the seller confirmed that the buyer already had the cops on scene is a pretty good clue that the buyer isn't scamming the seller.
