I paid for a Yahoo Auction as per instructions from seller. Now he wants more $ before shipping.?

Question

Money was sent W.U., he accepted it, it was the final amount that he asked for after the auction closed.

Now he tells me there is $150 more for tariff charges.

This was not disclosed prior to the sale, in his ad or at any other time until I asked for a tracking number of the shipment.

Now he won't answer my emails when I questioned him being a fraud/scam artist.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If this transaction was done with paypal tell them they can handle scammers

Answer 2

Check the Yahoo Help pages, maybe they can advise you.

Maybe Western Union has a fraud division. Or report it to your Post Office or Attorney General's fraud office. Save all the emails and receipts.
