Seller forgets to ship by COD, now Martin Tremblay aka Batista (buyer), has items and refuses to pay.
 

I sold Martin Tremblay a few items here on ASC and I was supposed to receive a cheque, made by him, in the mail, back in July. I guess something happened with the post office and although Tremblay said he sent the cheque, I have yet to receive it.

Now I forgot Tremblay's ASC username and I'm wondering if anyone can inform me it so I can directly contact him using the ASC messaging system.

If you know Martin Tremblay's ASC username, can you please pm me it.

thanks!

Your post boggles my mind. Why on earth did you send out product before receiving the check? I wouldn't even considering sending anything unless the check arrived and the funds were cleared in my account.

I'm going to be honest. I HATE POSTS LIKE THIS ONE I QUOTED!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously do you not think he realized he made a mistake and needs a quick flame that completely does not help him at all?

Sorry though as I do not know the ASC username but consider this as a mistake no going back in time now. Use EMT from now on it works best I find. Hopefully someone that knows him in real life sees this post and alerts him or someone knows his ASC username.

mmmken did not flame him. He worded his post in a way that is easy to interpret, and suggest how he should have handled the solution. Yours, on the other hand, is an opinion. Keep it to yourself. This is about issue resolution, not compounding the problem with off handed remarks.

OP, do you know the area you sent it to? Maybe someone locally to him can help track him down.

There is alot of irony in that post, my friend

But like Shelled said What is the local area and how sure are you that Martin Tremblay is his real name?

I'm not going to derail this thread with you, so I'll say it once: If the OP personally feels that I have flamed him, then I apologize - although I never called the OP an idiot nor did I suggest it.

What boggles me even more is the fact that you don't have a single PM saved and took until September to post this up? Is he local and did you actually deal with him on ASC? In any case, you would probably find some resolution by PM-ing Drake (an administrator here) as he handles the age verifications, and the archival of actual names to usernames. That is, if the person you sold the items to is in fact verified.

Just did a search through archives; there's no AV'd Martin Tremblay.

(unless its a really old AV from before archives were kept)

Where does it say he shipped the item out before getting a cheque? Hope you get it sorted out. I remember dealing with you wayy back when. Seems you (me as well) still have a lot to learn about the real world :(

Best luck multi!

Thanks guys for checking out this post. I did do a mistake and I hope Tremblay can msg me so we can sort out what might have happened. The Tremblay I am of interests is of Shilo, MB.

Can you PM me some contact info? He's in our local airsoft group. I can forward anything along if need be.

Holy crap strelok comes through again. Man is a champ!

Hey OP, I sold some items to Martin Tremblay, aka "batista" back in the spring. He paid C.O.D. with no issues.

Holy crap, Martin Tremblay is batista? No wonder that name sounded so familiar. I also dealt with him as well. IIRC he is a tech in the forces. He did come through in the end however.

PM me if you need his email/information.

That's right guys, I remember now. Batista is his ASC call sign. I'll pm him soon. Thanks for the help. I hope I don't end up bothering his training.

Now what did you learn?:D

I learned not to trust ppl here when I do the mistake of forgetting to ship out the items as 'cash on delivery' service and I ended up on just shipping the items as Xpedited.

Just because I did this mistake, as Tremblay requested I ship out the $114 items as C.O.D., he is taking advantage of potentially making this as free items by not paying. I hate to accuse him of this but the excuses and lack of replies to reason on when he can definetly pay me has been lacking on his behalf. The updated story on this is that Bastista, Martin Tremblay, will not pay me back unless he sells his G&G AEG. Then when I inquire about where is his AEG classified ad, (since it's been weeks since he told me he was going to sell his gun in order to make payments for his purchase as he claims he has no money), he does nor reply back to my messages here on ASC.

You know I messed up on this honest mistake but it doesn't mean that you are allowed to not pay at all.

AV suspended and notice sent.

@ Multikam:

I believe you can also talk to RCMP about him committing mail fraud. That should put a fire under his ass to make good on his promises. I would NEVER buy items that I don't have money for (although with Credit Cards it's because of cool benefits from Master Card/Visa and it builds up credit and what not) and this guy sounds like he's trying to do just that (or actually is a scammer) but either way that's a big no no.

Doesnt he play with the Keystone guys? Paging Strelok!

You're late, Steve.
Just like Rob's mom.

Hes not a scammer in the traditional sense. He told me he doesnt have EMT because it was hacked or something. So the only way to get money from him is via EMT.

Interestingly, someone did PM me randomly about him saying how Batisa paid me for my gun but didnt pay him or wanted to send the gun back to the seller or something along those lines.

Martin Tremblay is pretty much saying he's not going to pay for the items and will just return the accessories after having them for four months.

So Tremblay was hacked using EMT and now he does like-kind by trying to take advantage of this situation.

Please, if anyone knows Tremblay personally, ask him to do the right thing.

Hacked EMT eh?

There is only one way to do that; hack his email, hack the EMT itself, and hack his bank. He's either full of it, or an idiot. Unless your a very good hacker, you'd need his email account name and password, his EMT password, his account or card number and password. Basically you'd be hacking his financial institution. Why on earth would one of the few individuals that could do that waste their time on this guys EMT. I'd say either he gave out all his info to someone, or he's outright lying. Only the major banks offer EMT right now, and it would be a pretty big deal if someone was able to just open accounts electronically and transfer money with no electronic trace; that's how EMT works.

Also, all cheques are traceable as well. He can check if the money has been taken out of his account, and cancel the cheque. Banks can even reverse transactions, or freeze them under client request. So he could just cancel the cheque and send a new one. Like I said; it appears he's either an idiot, or lying. Hopefully someone talks some sense into this guy.

IMHO this is absolute BS. I suggest Mr Tremblay pay for the items he has had in his possession and move on and try and salvage his name. At this point it looks like he's full of shit.

The situation is being mediated so the peanut gallery can stand down.

Batista is okay with returning the items but Multikam currently does not want certain items returned, which is causing a problem. I've advised Batista to respond to the matter himself.

I have no idea where the hacked EMT thing comes from, no one's mentioned anything about that.

Drake, the EMT thing comes from me. Batista told me thats the reason he only uses COD. Because some account of his was hacked so he has no online payment options.

kk, thanks Mike :D

I sent a cheque to Multicam the same week that i received the items, but he says he never received it ... true or not ??? than i explained that i had a problem cause we just had a baby so i offered him to send back the items but he told me he did not wanted all the items back and claim more money from me 65$ plus 15$ for shipping. I talked with Drake and explain all to him. I than returned all the items to multicam in the same shape they were when i first got them. as for refusing to pay situation , it is completely false cause i explained my situation to him. Beleive what you want but i did what i had to do.

After months of taking possession of AEG batteries and GBB magazines, you can understand that not all individuals on AirsoftCanada have expertise in repairing those items, and would not accept returns on items when they are in the possession of a buyer who had a list of excuses of why he couldn't pay $114.

I am not the problem just because the buyer wanted to return items after keeping them for four months.

As you can see the thread for an objective appraisal of this situation, I did not accuse Tremblay in the beginning. It was after two weeks that he said he was going to sell his AEG to fund the $114, which is such a small amount to save up if given four months, that I questioned the existence of his AEG sales ad if he was serious about committing to paying.

The problem starts at the root, and in this case is the buyer, Tremblay. It is not the responsibility of the seller to honor 120 days money back guarantee on the Airsoft Canada non-retail classifieds.

Tremblay is responsible for paying some kind of stocking fee or even understanding why I cannot accept the batteries and GBB magazines for return. He should be lucky that I even accepted returns on anything.
