Hi,

Some of you have kindly responded to my moaning in the forum about this already. I bought an item on ebay with the German seller Laconic Records, the delivery company DPD messed up and delivered the package to an unknown address, and now Laconic Records will not answer my communications (Also PayPal will not refund my payment). My money seems to have gone down the drain.

I'd like to make sure that this doesn't happen to other buyers, and spread the word about both Laconic Records and PayPal's mishandling of the situation. Which is where you, potentially, can help:

If you have a blog or website, publishing a hyperlink to this post using the link text 'Laconic Records' would be very helpful. This needn't be a full blog post, it could be a small footnote eg. "In other news: Mormo is having some trouble with Laconic Records".

If you decide to do this, big thanks in advance!

(Laconic Records guys: if you're reading this please contact me so we can sort this out, my email address and phone number are included in the emails that you haven't replied to)

Thanks to everyone who helped!

Credible legal threats and negative exposure online seem to have worked:

Update: 11.04.08 Today, roughly five months since ordering the controller, a replacement unit arrived in the post from Laconic Records. I've decided not to go ahead with legal action.

In a note enclosed with the unit they asked me to remove this article from the site. I won't be doing that since the article is still of relevance to people thinking of doing business with this seller. My advice: don't do it.

Good to hear!

That's great, I'm glad to hear you finally got what you paid for. That takes some gall of them to ask you to remove the article, and good for you to not enable them by sweeping their fuckup under your own rug.
