Yes a dispute has been opened against you, because one of your last messages was "I will not be
refunding the money ...I'm sorry but that is my decision and as a private seller this my right.". I didn't ask you the refund, only do it after you make your statment and take that position. We could have another solutions, like taken the unit to an electrician with your permission.
When a dispute is open on Paypal, is to try to find a solution, but instead you escalate the dispute to a claim, now is on the hands of paypal.
Do you know that the parcel (DAC) is insured on £200? Did you try to find a solution to both of us instead of claiming alway about the transit overseas?
http://www.parcel2go.com/claims/ , of course it is need iformation from bouth of us.
"Hyperthetically speaking...what if the buyer expectations were not met by purchasing that dac- so decides to describe it as not working and get a full refund???" - i'm not glad with your statment. I sent you an e-mail telling you that the led power do nothing, 10 minutes after i received the packadge. Please let me know how can you know your expectations on 10 minutes without listnen. Only loking to the equipment? Sorry i'm a honest guy.
If you can especulate about me, so i can do it to: Why did you want me to give you positive fedback (to you can clear the funds without wainting days) before you sent the DAC?
"who ends up losing again, me" - probably me. This probably gonna end with a return of the DAC to you and a full refund to me, but the expenses of postage to UK would be mine. Whit some luck of you, you recive the DAC and if it works on your home (hope so and i don't know why or because), i'm end up losing. Probably you have been using Theta DSPro Prime II Dac + Theta Timebase Linque Conditioner Jitter Buster and some how it works, but don't work were.
Already contated Theta, they don't have the minor idea of what is hapening. This last wekkend, i phoned to several HiFi people and some with electrician experience and all of them told me (by the symphomes i described, electrical noise, probably from the transformer, etc..) that should be a problem on the board, and this things don't hapen on transit.
You can't be the same guy that i've been phoning with, you semed to be a nice guy... i'm very anoy, of acusations.
Still, if you want to claim to parcel Force, i help you with the information that you need from me (see link ), but only for help, no more conversations with you. Anything you need do it buy paypal.
