koolmainak's iPad sale thread - item missing from consignment

Yes Faheem, the iPad is a gonner now! Ask the seller to initiate the refund and then he and the DTDC guys can settle it amongst themselves.
 
Spoke to seller again . He is saying he will wait till the package returns back to the booking office and he inspects it before giving me refund :|. The package is currently on its way back to Delhi .

Courier Services India, DTDC Tracking. Z37858338

I tried very hard convincing him to first refund me complete amount but he is like don't worry your money is safe with me , I will refund it once I get the package back .
 
+1 @above

i dont think it might have been the seller,cos if he wanted to con you he would not have given you his bank account no. for cash transfer nor his phone no.

Unless he did not expect you would get all this info from the higher ups

Lets not speculate. The facts here suggest for now is for the seller to take it up.

The seller needs to go to DTDC immediately and he tells he will visit on a Sunday! C'mon Mainak....dont try to buy time here. Either give the full refund and get out of TE or talk up with DTDC guys. Taking up time will land you in deep deep trouble.
 
^ Exactly my thoughts. He is simply trying to buy time. What does he intend to do by receiving the package first before making the refund. He sounds dicey to me. I would be very careful in dealing with him. Does he expect the iPad to be magically back in the package?

WTF :mad::mad:....seriosuly....it will take 3-4 days time to get back the package ! He doesn't want to go to DTDC office also now.

Tell him to initiate his refund or post his views on TE ...otherwise this will turn against him.

@ Mainak --If you are seeing this...plz initiate the refund immediately and send screenshot to Faheem. Otherwise you just land yourself in deep trouble along with your family. We all dont want that. Whatever it is ...since the ipad is lost now and according to ur 7 days warranty you need to fulfill you refund.

If it was never shipped you never know it might land up inside the package. Also if he does not initiate refund by tomorrow (needs to send u a screenie) ...plz tell you are gonna post his details on TE :)
 
15k is the amount and the seller is not going to DTDC office and asking for lending time...

I guess he needs to devote some time with the dtdc people rather waiting for the package to return back
 
1. He is not ready to go to DTDC and sort it out today . He wants to go on a Sunday when office is closed.

2. Doesn't want to refund now !

3. Asking for empty package to get back to him....then he will think about refund after talking to DTDC

Seriously is this what TE market is going on ! Can the Delhi mods please call or meet him today.

Mayank can meet him up again and try to convince him to do the refund I guess.
 
Supra, in Delhi, all markets are not closed on Sundays. I think the booking office is in Rohini? If that is the case, it should be closed on Monday and open on Sunday. However, the seller is sounding casual and not understanding the gravity of the situation. He needs to do himself a favour and get his sorry a$$ to the DTDC office and do it NOW. I have a very strong gut feeling that this is not going to be easy for Faheem.
 
Bear the heat or get out of the kitchen..

Faheem just call him and tell him to refund the money today itself,sounding he is just taking it lightly....

All courier offices are closed on sunday
 
The seller says he will go tmrw?. WTF?. Its 15k. Last time i checked its a pretty huge amnt. He doesnt think this is urgent or needs to taken care asap?

Thats just sad.

The seller was online 7-8 mins back and was on this thread, why didnt he post any reply??

Exactly my thoughts. It's very odd that he has posted just one message in this thread and has not replied since then.

Faheem, do you have his registered address?
 
Guys ! Guys .. please take it a little easy on the guy .Dont come to conlcusions . Just spoke to Mainak . He took my account details and said will make a cash deposit in ICICI bank first thing on Monday . Also please don't conclude that the seller tried to scam or anything because I still really feel its the DTDC guys who played a nice big game (volumetric weight etc) and flicked the iPad.

If the seller had to do scam me , I doubt he would use his real name , address and all other contact details etc. I know that he is for real cause Amaresh on TE used to study with him few years back at Pune University . Also the name of account holder to which I made deposit is of Mainak himself . I did complete background check before dealing with him . Only thing is he probably screwed up with the shipping part because it was his first time dealing on TE.

Anyways now that he's agreed for the full refund everything sounds good. Lets wait till then . I just feel sorry for Mainak and really hope he is able to fight it out with the DTDC guys and recover his iPad .
 
I don't understand why people are calling the seller fraud and what not when the seller will be the one on the losing side of the deal. Give the seller a chance and also don't forget that there are chances of things going wrong when buying on a online forum. I am happy to see the buyer being responsible for what he is posting. Most of the members on the forum have already formed an opinion about the seller.
 
The politicians of our country has taught us that everyone is guilty until proven innocent. Moreover, as per Faheem's account, the seller is showing a very callous attitude towards the whole incident.
 
Guys, there can be many reasons why the seller is not posting on this thread. But for the record:

1. He has met up with Mayank (TE member) and visited the DTDC offie.

2. Is in telephonic conversation with Faheem.

3. Has provided any documentary proof to the buyer which was requested.

4. Agreed to visit the DTDC office --- hindsight that he forgot most are closed on Sundays.

5. Has given finite contact details/bank account numbers.

6. Knows Amaresh a member here.

I think this much is enough to vouch for him. Faheem is being mature and unbiased in this fiasco, and salute him for that. I think the coming week we will see this cleared up. Am confident, even if the device is never retrieved, the seller will reimburse the buyer. He is feeling jumpy and will feel confident seeing the empty package which has been returned-to-origin. Even he has 15K at stake similar to the buyer..! :)
