I need your opinions
Hi all. I need your opinions on a situation I have. A person sent me a Pinpics trade request and I responded saying I would make the trade. I did not hear back from them which is not unusual at all. That happens to me all the time. Some time later, I received a pin in the mail and assumed someone zapped me. I even posted a thread about it.
About three weeks after I had responded to the person on Pinpics, I get an email showing me a picture of an envelope and they stated this was my tracking info. It suddenly dawned on me that this person sent me the pin even though I had not heard from them. I responded telling them I was sorry but I no longer had the pin they wanted. I explained that I never got a response from them. I also explained that if they had responded, I would not have done the trade after all since they were in Hong Kong. It would have cost me too much.
I think what happened is when I agreed to make the trade, she received an email from Pinpics and she responded from the email. It says right on these emails NOT to respond. They must do it in Pinpics.
I told the person I would pay them for the pin they sent me and asked if they have Paypal. No response for several days. I finally get a response and they request a different pin from me. I again explain that the shipping cost is too high and I offer again to pay for the pin they sent. I have not heard back from them.
Here is my question to you. Am I wrong for not sending this person a different pin? It's not the trade I had agreed to. I sent a reminder email this morning so that means I have offered 3 times to pay this person. I feel this is fair since the person did not go through the proper channels for making this trade. I still have never even seen an address from this person. If this person does not have Paypal, what other ways can I pay someone in Hong Kong?
Thanks for your help.
