Hi,
Do you happen to know a debt collector in Hamilton that would bother to collect $150? I would offer $100 fee.
Long story short, I've sold something on trademe, the buyer emailed saying that the payment has been made and I mistakenly saw in my online banking another payment so I've mailed the parcel.
It turned out that the buyer did not pay and is ignoring my emails. I've placed bad feedback but nothing. Even more, he logs on trademe almost every day and even completed other trades since.
I've emailed trademe and they said there isn't much they can do and the disputes tribunal does not help with bad debts.
Any thoughts? I want to push this through more out of principle rather than to get most of the money back. Maybe the idiot will learn a lesson, although it's unlikely to.
Thanks.
