Help from Moscow please?

Hi
There is a retailer on Hi Fi.Ru selling a piece of kit that I’m interested in buying but I would like some reassurance that it is a genuine shop and not a scammer. The shop is called OldAudio and is in the Altufevsky district of Moscow. The phone number is +79255076007.

Does anyone know of this retailer or can confirm that they are genuine?
 
I've lost money with Paypal on internet sites. Run away giggling with my money and the goods never arrived. 😱

Not sure about the small print on Visa. It's a debit card isn't it?

Credit cards are far better as far as I know. AmEx and all that. Just pay them off every month, or they too take you to the cleaners.

I mean, really, 56.6% APR interest? There used to be a word for that. 🙄

It started as a Credit Card. (It also started with customer liable for all fraud; this got changed.) Today it is a brand name that other outfits (banks etc) can license for nearly any sort of card they want; their real racket is running the servers to route nearly all card payments nearly worldwide.)

Never i lost money with Paypal.
I got my money back,this happened two times.
 
Same here.... 4 times. Twice, the stuff didn´t arrive, one time fake shop never shipping, and one time totally different goods received and not at all, what I ordered. All the times PayPal investigated and decided in my favour.
 
Marvellous GUNFU! 😎

Most of the second-hand stuff I have ever bought was plain broken!

There's a reason people flog off old stuff.

But we enjoy fixing things. It's the hobby. 🙂
I have always believed that it would be better for a thing to be just broken than broken and then poorly repaired several times, so much so that it would need to be restored again.🙂

... If the customer paid for the product but did not receive it, or the product received differs significantly from the description, they can open a dispute in the problem resolution Center... Paypal

I was in a similar situation once and Paypal helped me. I got my money back. You can also open a dispute and get your money back
 
Even back in 1980, I used to charge £30 an hour for my time. 🙂

Having lost £30 recently with The Three Belles, I do wonder if it is worth my time to chase this up.

Never ascribe to Evil what is more simply explained as Incompetence. Wise words.

Clearly The Three Belles and the Jive Aces are not bad people.

Just for interest I might chase this up with PayPal. But when it comes to money, I don't trust nobody. 😀
