Hiya Scottie,
Paypal washed their hands of me instantly. The item was not purchased through eBay, and as-such the Paypal "protection" is utterly worthless. Because my issue was with the quality of the product, and not with a missing product, they quite literally shut down my dispute immediately(despite me submitting several emails without response from the seller), finding that the seller had completed their obligations. This is despite the unit shipping with scratches on it, no sound from one channel, and standard opamps when the order clearly stated the purchase was of the unit with uprated opamps.
A lot of people on here seemed to think that I was over-reacting, and that Lawrence would come good in the end. He never made contact again, and more and more people on here started to come forward with problems with their purchase - from incorrectly installed opamps, and standard opamps rather than the paid-for upgraded items, to units built with incorrectly-orientated capacitors, and failing to work at all.
I ended up talking with my bank and having a chargeback issued against Paypal. With a little luck they'll deduct the money from the seller
.
It seems I was the first to encounter his period of selling after he paid less attention and put in less and less effort. Another member has emailed me, with similar contact problems with Lawrence, and has also had to instigate a chargeback after Paypal washed their hands of it all.
Paypal and Lawrence are as useful as each other.
