I got a Ps5 on eBay classified ad. The person sounds very familiar and today sent the package by by name.
Now my question, unfortunately we can't open the package before paying.
In the event that the package is full of flour or potatoes instead of a ps5 😄 can I go to the police and file a complaint? The address is always written on the package and DHL has the account details in hand (because of the name, which is transferred to the person).
Or can I not do anything afterwards and have just been unlucky?
You can pick up a package at the post office and pay for it. Then you can then open it.
If there's something wrong in the package, you can of course take it to the police.
Would I get the money back?
Certainly not from DHL. Have to contact the seller.
After you have paid for it and picked it up, you can check whether there's something else inside. If so then go to the police.
In the end, I have his address, would I get the money back or ONLY a complaint will be made against the person
The seller may not answer again. Then I have the salad. In the end, I have his address in hand and the chat history + the ad on Ebay classified ad.
I would definitely document it!
Make a video of how you open the package… Film the package and the stickers - so that you can read them!
If there are potatoes in it, you are making a fraud report, apparently unknown! The police will do the rest!
You will then get the money back - but it will take a while: - /
Then why do you even order from classified ads? This is intended to allow you to pick up the goods when paying in cash.
Would I get the money back?
Not from the post office and not from the police either.
If they get it then of course the money
A report to the police only initiates investigations in the criminal area, but it won't bring you your money back; You have to claim or sue for this under civil law.
You will then get the money back.
But definitely not from the police:
He must claim or sue for this from the seller under civil law, in the event of a completely uncertain outcome.
I have everything his address. Is the trz considered unknown?
I didn't write anything about "unknown".
If you claim or sue for the money, then the outcome of this claim or this lawsuit is uncertain.
For example, what do you do if the seller has no money?
Then you pay everything yourself.
And now you first wait for the delivery and look into the package, and only when it actually contains something else, then you report back here.
Not everyone out there's a scam right away.
I wrote to him again today, he was a little upset who should pay him the 20 euro he is now sitting on. At the same time he says: "Of course I sent the ps5 and I shouldn't be afraid he wouldn't go to jail for 600 euro" after he said something like that to me, I have even more reservations about accepting the goods.
Now watch out:
You bought the PS5, so you entered into a legally valid purchase contract according to the BGB with the seller.
Cash on delivery was contractually agreed, the seller complied with this and sent the package.
You as the buyer are obliged to accept, if you don't, the seller can also successfully sue for payment from you. This is very easy for him because the sales contract is definitely in place and he has your name and address.
So, and I'm out of here now because I'm getting too silly about you.
