Title: Need help getting a refund from Tesselated
Post by: zentech on March 25, 2013, 05:19 pm
Hey guys after going through much praise for Tesselated i made my first purchase for a ten strip on the road ~50 days ago.
First he marked it as shipped before actually shipping it and then sent me a message 5 days later. I did not receive the package before the auto FE period ran out, so i confirmed if it was on it's way and decided to FE due to his reputation.
I waited for a month and now it's been 50 days (I gave him an update every week) and i still don't have it so i decided to ask for a refund on Friday.
In order to provide a refund, he said he required the transaction number but this is not displayed on my transaction history for some reason.
I can see the feedback i have left for him on my profile (which cannot be left if u don't purchase). Also under my transaction history you can see that i have spent 9.98 BTC on the road, 3.80 of which i paid for XTCEXPRESS' grenades (which i received two weeks back)
So i had paid 6.18 BTC for the ten strip. Tess has been co-operative and responds to all messages but at this point i just want a refund and order from someone else but he says he can't help me if i can't provide the transaction number.
So does anyone know how to go through with this. What might be the reason the transaction # is not displayed ? Does the road delete this after a certain period or is it not shown since the listing is down.
Here's a clearnet link to my feedback, transaction and stats. http://lookpic.com/O/i2/514/MSWmv4de.jpeg

Did you report the vendor using the "report this vendor" link on their profile?

Also, unfortunately, since you finalized early, there is nothing SR Support can do for you to get your money back.  They can only offer support for that when you remain in escrow - which is in place for your protection and the vendor's protection.

No i haven't reported but is that the right step to take now, he's been pretty cool.

Those are kind of your only options - either to get the vendor to reship or refund your order, or to report the vendor if he took your money and never sent out the product.
