BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member

FRAUD ALERT!
I recently sold a Mytek Liberty DAC to this user.

Buyer: locmao003
503-583-1266
[email protected]

In the Audiogon Selling portal they listed their shipping address as a US Oregon address.
I shipped the item to this address. 
Paypal payment made to my account.
USPS Insured shipment, with delivery confirmation.
Delivery confirmed on June 11, 2021 by USPS.
I got an email, from a DIFFERENT email address stating they received the item.

Next, I got a dispute from Paypal saying the buyer never received the item.
The buyer listed their address as VIETNAM! Not Oregon.
I NEVER sell or ship overseas and would not have accepted this purchase if that was disclosed.
Paypal has approved the claim, and took my $500 payment back. I am left without the original DAC or payment.

BEWARE of this Buyer!

This happened to me a couple of decades  ago. I shipped a $5,000 blue sapphire to a dude in
Canada. Used PAYPAL. Had signed proof of delivery via USPS registered mail. He filed “not received” claim with PP. The thing is; PP ALWAYS sides with buyer. Like you, I was out the stone and the $!

Now I just refuse to accept PP for ANYTHING at all.

I would press Paypal. I think you have a decent case - they shouldn’t be so quick to refund the money especially since you have proof of mailing the item.

I would contact the FTC. If no one makes them aware of these scams they can't fix it.

Get rid of PayPal also, they cost myself and many others a
lot Of $$ . PayPal represent the buyer 95% of the time not the seller !!  Use stripe .
