Would you cancel 3,250 deal cause 16 short?


Made a deal with a guy in Germany to buy his cable for $3,250 including shipping, but because the money arrived to his account short by $16 (international wire transfer) he got upset and paid $50 to return my money back? ?? I couldn't believe it!!! even though I told him that I will send you $50 to cover any charges and even help with shipping. Granted, my bank screwed up making the wire transfer the first time around but the money got there eventually, the whole thing took two weeks. My bank charged me $40. The bad thing is I sold my cable knowing that I already bought a new one. I am so pissed, Was I at fault here? Did it happen with any of you before?

You are a very trusting soul to send that amount of money without using an escrow service but I guess you had your reasons. If it had been my cable I would have called you and inquired as to the short funds and then waited for the remainder to show up - hey I got the cash and still have the cable in my hands, I'm sitting pretty at this moment in time. If no extra funds show up I'll deduct my actual loss (bank fees)and send you back the remaining funds and wait for another buyer.

Sorry that you are without a cable and hopefully something will turn up soon. Maybe make sure for the next time with a few phone calls in advance of money changing hands or bank accounts...
