hippie site rip-off

ChiefBongWater · 10-04-2009, 11:56 PM

well im not sure if im allowed to mention other sites on here but ... oh well. I just looked it up and the site apparently doesnt exist anymore. superhippie.com was a rip off though. i ordered some shirts and some beads and my money was accepted but i never received my stuff, sent a bunch of emails n stuff.

So just a heads up in case u run into that site

thats a bummer dude
sorry you got ripped off
how much did they get from you?

i think like 20 bucks, i dont remember it was over the summer. i paid through paypal though... i thought they could catch scams somehow

dude that's pretty fucked up. There's gotta be a way to get your cash back, I just wouldn't know who I'd even ask

if you paid through paypal you can send a claim to paypal saying you never got your merchandise. good luck, paypal will either get you your stuff, or else your money.

thanks dude i gotta look into that. im not familiar with paypal at all but i know that they are pretty popular and well trusted.

i guess the owner of supperhippie has youtube chanels and stuff, i sent him messages on there and used the store email but nothing. In my paypal account it says that my money was accepted

oh well... its life

no! all you have to do is click on the "resolution center" when you are logged into paypal and then click "dispute a transaction" and it will walk you through it.

trust me man, you WILL get your money back. it's easy as hell, there's no reason not to.

edit: not to mention it could help other people who got ripped off from them too if they paid through paypal also.

That sucks

It's hard to know what's legit and what's not. I've only ordered from 2 sites and had no problems. I hope you get your stuff or your money. Paypal should deff work with you on the situation!

spanky's totally right

i sold an empty xbox box on ebay once and the guy complained and paypal gave him his money back even though i was completely in the right

i clearly stated you are bidding on an empty box, just a box, and it was under video game accesories, but he bitched to paypal and they gave him his money back.

for the record (i dont understand why i feel the need to justify myself but still) i only tried pulling that scam cause i was stuck in vancouver and wanted to go home (montreal at the time) and used that $$$ to go home

Gay!

lol that sucks. Is it because my payment was accepted on july 14th and its now october 7th??

Mikey · 10-07-2009, 03:18 PM

no maybe it's cause you didnt have a buyer seller relationship
u just wired him money instead of buying something off him

a friend of mine did the same thing with a big screen tv box to germany but they told him not to declare it for taxes so he got to keep the money since they were scared of getting busted for tax fraud.
