Has anyone heared from TreyX [Archive]

I recently purchased a complete set of Dino Thunder Rangers from him and he keeps on saying hes not getting the payment, I've tried to explain to him that he hasn't claimed it on Paypal and he won't respond to me

Dude, I've got nothing from you. First you tell me you can't pay through paypal because you're too young and you want me to make you a "buy it now" ebay auction for items you want. I do that. You bought it. Under seller reminders, it says "I am awaiting payment for 1 item". Apparently, now you can pay me through paypal. Then, why did I make up some ebay auction for you? I go to my paypal account, nothing. I've dealt with a lot of very good people during this sale and I've had no problems receiving payment from any of them. Its a very simple procedure. You go to "send money". You type in my email address. Type in the amount. Press continue. Etc. Its not hard. I promise.

Trey's right. I bought his SPD figs, and payment went through, and he got it fine. He shipped them this morning. Just be patient.

D00d, chill. TreyX is a trust worthy person! Just calm down and be patient. Remember I bought an expensive set from him!

11-05-2007, 05:08 PM

I bought two sets of things in this sale, and he is a good person to deal with. Great with communication, and he also ships stuff out fast.

Anyone heard from him yet? Paid for some figs about 2 weeks ago and he said it'd be out last Monday and still nothing. I'd just like an update, a pm, or something at least

11-16-2007, 12:07 AM

Im waiting on a daibouken from him, and havent heard anything for about two weeks either. The first time I bought from him it shipped out right away, but now he hasnt even been on for a while, so Im hoping everything is ok.

Iron Bison

11-16-2007, 02:07 AM

Same with me. I wasn't going to post anything cause Lord knows a lot of people are gonna take it as "Bitching". It's been two weeks since I've heard from him and I am worried about him.

ToastedFred

11-21-2007, 11:31 AM

Well, he said he shipped out my SPD figs on the 5th Nov, and I still haven't received them yet.

11-21-2007, 12:45 PM

I tried emailing him, to the address from his paypal, and no response. I still dont know if something happened to him or what is going on. He had a lot of good transactions the first half of the sale, then this time a lot of people still havent gotten their items. I guess I just have a hard time believing he would take that many people, after doing a good job the first time around.

Oh well, I guess I better start thinking of a paypal claim soon if I want any chance of getting my money back.

ExVee

11-21-2007, 01:30 PM

Well, everyone has up to 45 days to file the claim, IIRC. Beats me, anyway. The Wolzaphone showed up damn quick, and I sure didn't get the impression he was trying to screw anybody.

Iron Bison

11-21-2007, 10:43 PM

I don't know about you guys (who have yet to receive their items) but I'm giving him till this friday to respond and if he does'nt or can't then I have to have my money back.

I just find it funny that everyone was slamming the Original Poster and now, Nobody can contact TreyX or have they received anything from him.

The OP should be applauded for their courage and Conviction.

(Okay, MAybe that was a bit dramatic)

Well, that's because he had been making a big deal out of him not being able to contact him only mere days after the sale. It was him just being impatient. Now that it's affected more people, well It's a serious problem now.

11-22-2007, 01:37 PM

Plus, he did do a great job of replying to people early on and sending our items out in a timely manner so I found it justified to defend him, but for things ordered at the end of his sale we havent heard anything which makes me a little nervous about my item and/or my money.

ExVee

11-23-2007, 12:19 AM

11-23-2007, 05:21 AM

The original poster was also raising a fuss while Trey was still posting and responding to people, anyway. I'm afraid I'm of no help either for contact info. I had him ship my thing UPS, and the "return address" is just to the UPS Store he sent it from. So unless somebody knows a way for that to help...?

I thought about the return address on my box, but I didnt think I would need it when I got my megazords the first time, so I reused it. I remember it had it on there, and now Im ticked off that I didnt save it.

cyberv

I've opened a dispute file involving my own transaction via paypal. I suggest everyone else do the same. If he doesn't respond soon, upgrade it to the next level.

I had a thought, i live in North Jersey and TreyX lives in Texas, He sent it by mail and we all know how slow the U.S Postal Service is :015:, so maybe what i bought is on its way, but that might not be the case for some of U

Yeah, I paid for my stuff three weeks ago on a Monday and He said that he would ship them Tuesday. I don't think the USPS is THAT slow. :shame:

U've got a point

Verbal21

11-24-2007, 09:29 AM

U've got a point

Yeah, especially considering I've bought a couple of things after I bought from him and they've already arrived a long time ago. USPS doesn't take mor than a few days. And maybe if it was just one person, I'd buy that it got lost or something, but there's a bunch of us in the same boat.

Tommy5

11-24-2007, 10:05 PM

wel I filled my claim at PayPal and I'm gonna get my money back and get myself a Dragonzord

11-24-2007, 10:20 PM

Well I went and opened a claim as well. I just cant keep holding out that he is going to hold up his end of the bargain, and me lose my money.

Oh well, I hope everyone else can get this resolved as well

I just wonder if we are going to hear anything from him even through paypal dispute center...

has anyone been able to get their money back on this deal?

Tommy5

11-30-2007, 07:08 PM

has anyone been able to get their money back on this deal?

No, its like this guy fell off the face of the earth, he made good in the begining but ran off with everyone elses money in the end

Krycek7o2

11-30-2007, 07:13 PM

Wow, so he just disappeared!? That is quite strange.

Tommy5

11-30-2007, 07:17 PM

cxheck his RB profile and look at when he was last on, it was almot a month ago, I even sent messages a few weeks back via Paypal and nothing from this guy

Krycek7o2

11-30-2007, 07:19 PM

Damn, either something happened or he just ran. Though that would be even more strange if he did ship those few items most of us got. I received my Kakuranger Set in two days, that's the reason I defended him.

11-30-2007, 07:23 PM

I got two megazords from him within three days, but then I bought his daibouken and it was supposed to ship that Saturday, then he was going to look for the lion tail and dolphin stand for the storm megazord, and that was the last I heard from him. I tried his email address that he uses for paypal and nothing, so I opened a claim and just now moved it to a dispute.

Tommy5

11-30-2007, 07:33 PM

this guy owes me a set of Dino Rangers so 'm gonna do the same and turn my claim into a dispute as well

ExVee

11-30-2007, 07:56 PM

If he did take off, he probably didn't do it stupid. If he withdrew all the money from his Paypal account, you're gonna pretty much be out of luck since Paypal will only reimburse up to the balance of the disputed party's Paypal account. And even if not, it's not that hard to game the system and get the claims and disputes overturned.

I'm not saying that I think he scammed you guys. The situation is too weird for me to go totally one way or the other on that. I'm just warning you not to get your hopes up for Paypal's resolution.

Tommy5

11-30-2007, 08:14 PM

I can tell he took it and ran, I checked his Ebay account and he did this to somebody before so hes had practice

Verbal21

11-30-2007, 08:53 PM

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but maybe he did a couple good things in the beginning just to set up the heist,lol

ExVee

11-30-2007, 09:00 PM

A, I don't doubt that's been your experience. But Paypal handles disputes related to Ebay differently than they do general transactions. It's the difference between Buyer Protection and Buyer Complaint plans. The incidents in this topic fall under Buyer Complaint.

It took a little digging, but I found the relevant section in the User Agreement.

13.12 Buyer Complaint Policy Benefits. If we grant a Claim under our Buyer Complaint Policy, PayPal will seek to collect from the seller by debiting the seller's PayPal Account up to the amount of your loss, and you will receive a recovery to the extent that the seller has funds available in the Account at the time we debit the seller's Account. If there is more than one Claim against the same Account, we will process the Claims in the order they are filed, and will pay out on each granted Claim up to the amount of funds in the seller's Account at the time the Claim is awarded, but not more than the amount of the Claim.

(emphasis added)

If Trey doesn't have the money in the account to pay all of the disputes filed, someone's gonna end up getting shafted in the refund process, and if he don't have the funds to cover *one* refund, looks like everybody's getting screwed.

ExVee

12-01-2007, 01:33 AM

You're interpreting that to mean there'd be more than one attempt. Nothing is said to that effect, so it's not reasonable to assume somebody's keeping an eye on the account, and progressively draining any future additions to the balance. And your interpretation of those three words runs contrary to the entire rest of that section. If they were saying they could/would go back later and try to collect more, or were able/willing to try and get the money from the person's bank or other funds source, most of that section wouldn't be necessary since there'd be more to recoup the money from than the Paypal account balance.

Paypal doesn't have the rights to go and make withdrawals from an account in the user's name without a specific authorization from the user. Now, a court judgement and order directly to the bank or other source to turn over such amount of money is a different matter. Paypal trying to do it, I believe constitutes theft and/or fraud. Their power is limited to the money you choose to have stored with Paypal. Just the same way someone from the bank you have your checking account at doesn't have the right to come into your house and take money from your wallet if your checking account gets overdrawn. :)

Verbal21

12-01-2007, 01:45 AM

It doesn't even matter anymore, 24 more hours for me and I can get my refund..hopefully. It sucks that this was my first transaction here at RB and it turned out this way, but I guess it could've been worse. I remember my last sentence to him being if I was satisfied with the NS sets he was selling me, I'd buy a couple of his remaining series sets asap. Waste of everybody's time.

First off please don't take my word for any thing because he could be a new changed person.

Many months back my friend had transactions with Jasoon Voorhees and he ran into alot of problems where the item was said to be shipped but never was received, or the item was in bad condition even though he promised a new MIB state type product and well when he wanted a refund Jason basically didn't want to refund him and basically didn't care.

But like i said maybe jason isn't the jason from back then and he is a changed person also then again he could be the same underhanded seller. So like I said please don't take what I'm saying as any thing.

Well, It's a bad thing that happened to him, BUT if he has the time and internet to post a blog on Myspace then he should take responsibility and at least contact the people who paid him money.

He's been back in the US for awhile now.
There's no excuse now

Verbal21

12-04-2007, 06:17 AM

Scumbag?

I feel for the guy. He's obviously coming off from a tough time in his life, and although that blog entry was nearly a month ago, I could only wish him the best. It takes time to get used to home again. Maybe he hasn't been online for awhile, at least not to check on here. Even his e-mail might be a low possibility. He clearly stated how he had to use ALL of his money to return home. I give the guy my sympathy, and hopefully he'll eventually get back to you guys.

The blog was written around the same time he scammed everybody. He was just online today according to myspace, I'm sure he's fine if he has time to make comments and joke around with his friends on myspace. He knew what he was doing. Why should he get sympathy??? Maybe if he paid everybody back, then yeah, I'll sympathize for him. There's only so much "benefit of the doubt" you could give somebody before you have to see the truth.

Hey you guys. What is the date on the postal service stamp on the packages that are just now showing up? Are they recent or do they date back to when you were originally expecting them to be sent out.

It's a good way to figure out of the fault was TreyX's or just the mail being slow.

12-12-2007, 07:59 PM

Well, like everyone else thus far, I won the paypal claim which only means I get nothing back.

On top of that despite other people getting their items, I have seen no signs of that daibouken.

12-13-2007, 12:04 AM

I actually just got an email back tonight from him, saying to keep an eye on the mail for my package. So that is some good news. If there is any one else waiting on an item, it sounds like it may be on the way.

Mr. Z

12-13-2007, 12:13 AM

No, that's not how it works.

If a dispute is filed and won by the buyer, PayPal deducts the total from the seller's balance. It doesn't stop at zero. It goes into the negatives. Even if he withdrew the money, and his balance is at zero, he will have negative the amount of everyone's payments. Now if he closed his account before the disputes, that's a different story. But I'm sure PayPal would track him down, or track down his bank account. I've dealt with a few chargebacks, and my balance has been in the negatives, and that's just when PayPal holds the money from both parties until the dispute is settled.

That's not true at all. If funds aren't available, you're out of luck. That happened to me twice so far.

12-13-2007, 12:23 AM

yeah I dont think anyone got money back from paypal on this due to there being no funds in the account. But it seems like that may not matter anymore.

12-13-2007, 12:52 AM

That's not true at all. If funds aren't available, you're out of luck. That happened to me twice so far.

I stand corrected. But I don't doubt PayPal is trying to "track" him down. That's a big hole in the PayPal system. You pretend to sell things, get all the money you can from the sales, transfer the funds to your account, and leave. There should be a way the buyer can mark the funds as being for sale items, which will then put a hold on the money. If the seller never receives the stuff, the funds are still there for the dispute.

Mr. Z

12-13-2007, 01:06 AM

The minute money shows up in the sellers account, it gets transfered to whoever is owned money. I once got a $10 refund months after the initial complaint.

12-13-2007, 01:55 AM

The minute money shows up in the sellers account, it gets transfered to whoever is owned money. I once got a $10 refund months after the initial complaint.

Well there you go. That's more of a chance than anything though. And that is still a big loophole in the PayPal system. I've only experienced chargebacks, and with those, the balance actually becomes negative, so I was basing my ideas off that. But at least the person isn't forgotten.

I just emailed him to see about the correct sword, but Im not sure if that will happen.

Enuo

12-17-2007, 01:48 PM

you should try and contact the buyer of whoever got the titan megazord and exchange swords directly rather than going through the seller. Any idea who the buyer of the titan was?

12-17-2007, 02:09 PM

I dont think anyone bought the titan. I emailed trey after receiving the daibouken this morning and he responded saying that he'll send the sword and I dont need to send the titan sword back.

ToastedFred

04-02-2008, 04:50 PM

Sorry to bump, but it is related to this thread. I just received an email saying that he has issued me a refund, even though I received my items. So, to anyone who hasn't got their items, you may be getting a refund soon. It didn't define an actual amount, it just said 'a full or partial refund'.

The thing is, to those who received the items, my advice is that if he gives a full refund, send it back. We got our items, and he deserves to keep the money. But if it is a small amount of the price, it could be counted as a late fee i guess.

Anyway, thought I should let people know.
