Dear PayPal,This buyer is not being truthful. I suggested she post the ring back to me along with the gift (value $50 - $75) that I included and that I would give her refund except for postage. I said to her that I would have to deduct the postage that I paid off as I paid out an extra $50 plus in postage which she did not refund to me. But she said it was too much hassle to send the ring back. I am assuming that the ring is not old as she stated but I don't have a way as yet of proving it. Initially she emailed me as soon as it arrived and stated that it didn't suit her, looking too large on her hand and wanted me to make a Second Chance Offer to the underbidder even though I did not have the ring and she did not intend to send it back. I have the emails to prove this. She wanted the underbidder to pay her for the ring and she would send it to them. I believe she is running some kind of scam. Even after all this I offered for the sake of peace to refund $150 taking into account the $50 plus dollars I was out for postage and with her keeping the valuable gift. She declined this and gave me 24 hours to pay her $200. The reason I waited after that was because I wanted to go over our emails which were numerous prior to her bidding and after. I did inform her of this ? as I said to her I wanted to be fair to both of us. This is when she got nasty and threatened me with contacting eBay. So I have been negotiating all along. At first I believed she was just rather na?ve when asking for me to make a Second Chance Offer ? which would be fraud on my part but after going over her emails and looking up her history as a buyer and seller with 3 accounts that I can track I thought it may be possible that it was some kind of scam and I should be very careful before doing anything. I thought that no matter what I did this woman wanted to hurt me and leave back feedback and I still believe this. Will leave rest of my email on another - "ran out of space"
Second email to PayPal
The whole episode has been a terrible experience and I just want my ring, gift and postage costs back so that I can put it behind me. She refuses to post the ring back. With 3 accounts as a seller and buyer she could not possibly so na?ve as to believe I could offer a ring that I did not have in my possession. That IS fraud.Maybe she has already sold the ring. She did list it, once that I saw as a genuine antique and as a genuine emerald, which I did not. This she did immediately upon deciding that the ring didn't suit her, nothing to do with age of ring or anything else. It appeared simply like Buyer's Remorse. She had said she loved it. When I saw the way she had it listed I advised her that she shouldn't say those things if she believed it was relatively modern and that I never said that a gemmologist had checked it out for being an emerald. (She had said I had) I wasn't sure and listed as such although I did think it was vintage to some degree. I am not sure what to do at this stage and would welcome advise from PayPal and eBay. It seems to me that there is something seriously wrong with this whole transaction. I believe she wanted to sell the ring to the under bidder and then not send it leaving me with the problem. How can she not return the ring and pendant to me and yet I still have the monies frozen. This hardly seems fair and is an open invitation for buyers to commit fraud. I truly need help from eBay and PayPal with this as I find it very distressing and it is stopping me from listing and selling. It has made me very ill and I now have a genuine migraine, with blurred vision and throwing up. I have always bent over backwards to help my buyers with any problem of which there have been very few. I can only remember two very minor ones in the past several years, neither a complaint but a buyer needing help, which I complied with. I have had to cut and paste these emails due to migraine.

(which is what I often do.) I think Trace Atkins could have won Celebrity Apprentice if he had not let the Baldwin brother talk him out of using the best picture in the entire ad campaign for men's personal products. That picture would have won them the competition, possibly even the whole contest.
