Jason Brown, Thegearlessmachine eBay ripoff by Jason Brown on Digital Camera $507.00 Guntersville Alabama

I purchased a Sony Mavica Camera for $507.00 including s/h/i from Jason Brown (eBay item number 2919559089). It took about a month for the camera to arrive. I checked the camera immediately, and it did not work. I took it back to the PO and called Jason. He told me he would wait for the PO investigation before he did anything. The initial PO investigation took
nearly a month.

The PO said there was no damage to the box so they would not pay on the claim. They said he probably sent a damaged camera hoping to collect the insurance on a worthless camera. After the PO told me they would not pay him I contacted Jason. He said he sent a good camera and refused to pay me until after an appeal on the PO ruling.

When he refused to repay me I contacted eBay and PayPal. They said they could not help me because I was reporting to them after their deadlines (30 days PayPal, and 60 days eBay).

After several appeals the PO still refuses to make payment to him so he refuses to refund my money ($507.00). I have been waiting nearly 5 months to get my money back. The PO said the dispute with the claim is between them and him and he should pay me rather than hope for payment on the claim. I was advised to file for postal fraud.

Finally I contacted SquareTradeNetwork, Attorney General of Alabama, District State Attorney, NFIC, IFCC, and the Guntersville Police Department. I still have not had any help.

The following are some complaints against Jason including mine:
