@metaldetektor That is essentially what USAudioMart determined when I asked about the transaction/ad. There was miscommunication between the parties.
Merason dac MK1 on audio mart
Well, all good things must come to an end. I got conned on a recent audio mart listing on the Merason dac MK1, which I’ve been wanting, and jumped on it when I saw it. Turns out it’s a multi-person fraud ring. Be warned as the seller had good feedback, which I realize now anyone can do, especially if it’s organized. Just spoke with pay pal and they let me know there is already a flag on this seller from someone else and they are investigating.
Once the payment went through, all of a sudden, the communication completely changed to awkward old english with misspellings and a claim that the seller was out of the country and coming in a week. With so many red flags I immediately knew what must be happening and asked for a refund, which was refused. And then the seller said he sent me several emails saying he was out of the country, which isn’t true and isn’t even in the thread that we had, which proves it.
Hope this helps, as I don’t want anyone else to have this happen to them.

@chason678 So I saw your negative feedback for the seller but now it's gone. Do you know what happened? |
@chason678 Thanks for the heads up. It was something I was potentially thinking about. Have you flagged his ad on USAudioMart? |
@chason678 I don’t see that you’ve given him negative feedback. If he has scammed you, that might be the best way to put others on warning and perhaps make him reconsider. I looked at his reputation and it is spotless. Unless there is a way to fake that, it seems odd that he would suddenly get into scamming after 43 excellent transactions. |
I don't know this situation at all but I ran into something like this on Ebay where I ordered something and the seller, who had an excellent rating, actually died before he could send it to me. I had to send a number of requests for information prior to finding out what was going on and his brother ultimately sent me the item I ordered. It took a complaint to PayPal to get things moving. |
@chason678 I'm glad you won your case but I'm concerned that your negative feedback disappeared from the seller's reputation. My concern is that if AudioMart can be hacked to fake reputation or get rid of bad feedback, it makes buyers very vulnerable. So can you let me know if you erased your negative feedback or did it just disappear? |
@dseltz Same message I got. |
