Sorry if this thread is inappropriate and breaks any UU rules, please remove it if so.
Just wanted to alert people who occasionally sell ukes on the usual auction site in the UK, of a buyer with the user name 'sidneypopo'.
This "person" bought my Ohana SK-21M sopranino on 15th July, they received it on 19th July and left me really great positive feedback saying 'super cute, great price, great seller etc'.
Then, 2 weeks later at around midnight last night I received a message saying they had opened a claim stating they hadn't received the uke.
Unfortunately for me, I have the proof of postage receipt but it was only sent 1st class, not a recorded tracked service.
Now you would usually think that them leaving positive feedback for the uke, would be proof enough that they received it, but we all know what the auction sites claim policy is like and it usually favours the buyer, no matter how dodgy their claim is.
Anyway, the case is pending and the funds are on hold in pp, so basically it looks like I've lost the Ohana and the money I got for it.
Just wanted to share my frustration and warn people to always send using a tracked service, sorry for the rant.
