Obviously, the prospective buyer has made me out to be the villain. His version of how this transaction transpired has left a few important points out that I would like to address. The transaction began on Wednesday 11/13/19. The OP wrote me about my Leshiy and said there was a guy on youtube selling Edgun products for 10% off. I lowered the price and we both settled on a price of $1225 shipped CONUS.
The OP said he was GOING to send the money. I gave him my PP address, but the money was not forthcoming, so I made a second request. On the second request, I had a typo in the PP address I provided-totally my fault. Now here's where the fun begins. The OP never said "I sent the $$". As a matter of fact, he stopped communicating. I stayed up until midnight on that Wednesday waiting for the "You've Got Money" from PP. I did not hear anything from the OP Wednesday night or all day Thursday 11/14/19, so I re-listed the gun for the same $1225 the OP was willing to pay and sold it. It was already packed and ready to go on Wednesday night awaiting the funds. I processed it on Friday morning and sent the tracking # to the buyer. As soon as I was done with the shipping I got online and had a PM from the OP saying he sent the $$. It took him 36 hours to tell me he even sent the money. Only then did I scroll up the PM's and see my error. Within minutes, his first response was roughly well there goes $1225. I told him to rescind the transaction with PP. Since I was neither the sender nor receiver, there was no way for me to get involved. Had PP told me to call them and explain the situation, I would have gladly admitted my error and tried to help fix it.
I had no communication from the OP after that Friday 11/15/19 morning. I came on here on Saturday evening to check if I received feedback on a couple of other items I sold, and saw this post. It greatly disturbed me. I have feedback going back 22 years on the Old Yellow and am carl8571 on ebay with the better part of 50K in transactions, even though I am not a dealer, just an average guy. I have always tried to go above and beyond, be fair and keep my name clean in the 64 years of my life.
In trying to decide how to get involved, this is what I did. I sent
[email protected] $1 F&F with a note explaining what happened, and asking him to do the right thing and return the money. The address was in fact to a Christoper Matera (I am Carl R Matera). I stayed up most the night trying to figure out what I could sell to free up money to pay for my error and return $1225 to the OP. This morning, I got up, ate breakfast, and turned on my computer. First thing I did was check my email, and this is what I saw:
Original transaction details Sincerely,

Christopher Matera returned my $1 with the note you see above. I am sure the OP will not come on here and and tell you how this ended. He believes he had no part in what went wrong, and everything is my fault, so he chose to leave out details of what happened,continue to withhold communication and slam me publicly here. Whether you choose to do business with me in the future, is your choice. I am going to bed. It has been a long night.
