Well the thing is that I'm pretty sure the story is real. The story was even shared by Naughty Dog and one of the big media outlets; I think it was Kotaku.

Plus this seller had me send the money directly to the ill person. So essentially I'd be filing a complaint against a guy that's fighting for his life.

Come to think of it, If I do file the complaint, I hope I don't run in to any problems 'cause I sent the money to someone other than the seller. I just trusted the person.

I'm pretty sure this ill man is about to undergo major surgery any day now...

I'm kind of in a bind here.

Lol straight to the point! XD

Yeah, I too would just open a dispute before the opportunity to do so disappears. Atleast then if a dispute is open, you're not likely to lose anything whether you get the item or not.

I still have a few days to file the complaint before the deadline. I'm gonna try one more time to contact them both. If I don't hear something good, then I'll just go ahead and file the complaint.

Sucks big time for me because of the situation with the gravely ill dude, but I can't afford to throw away money or to contribute a sizable chunk of change for charity. I don't want to file against this poor chap, but I really have no choice.

Here's hoping I hear back from the seller before I have to file...

This is why I hate when someone shares a story like this, true or not.

"I'm selling my daughter's necklace after she died decapitated in a car crash and I'm trying to pay the funeral"

I want to buy the item not the story behind it. I'm free to donate money when, where and how I want, but not this way.

Hell, you live in the same country... think about that, and you have a few days left before the deadline? waiting 40 days living in the same country?

And I don't care if you hear something good (good = you receive the package, good =/= a poor excuse), paypal is your only protection against it, use it and don't be a fool.

Yeah, definitely use Paypal claim. Something just popped into my head regarding this.

You're worried because you believe the story to be legitimate, so don't want to be filing a claim against a gravely ill guy, but yeah, sure, the story might be genuine, but who is to say that this seller is actually anything to do with that story, they might just have seen that story and thought "here, I could make a quick buck!" and lists things "for sale"

I'm not saying that's what is happening here, but you need to be careful. File the claim. It might just give them a kick up the ass to contact you and get your things sent fast if they are genuine xx

You're right. I'm gonna file for sure if I don't get the package within a day or two. I have like 5 days to file I think.

@MM could you provide us with a link from Kotaku and I will verify this.

Shared by the (dream team) ND! I very much doubt that do you any sources?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's the same person. I'll have to double check, but I'm 99% sure it's him.
