approx 10AM: Chandani opens a case on Shanazar's PayPal account claiming that they never received the item.

approx 10:30AM: I call (416) 829-0732 that Ebay lists for Chandani Basdeo, a woman answers, and I ask for Shanazar (payee and addressee). She says that he is not there, and I ask for Chandani, and she says that is her. She explains that she used her Ebay account to bid on a game boy for her younger brother Miguel Basdeo, and used he father Shanazar Basdeo's PayPal account to make a credit card payment. I explain to Chandani that PayPal took several days to clear a check, that the account that accepted the payment cannot accept credit card payments, and therefore she could not have used a credit card to pay for the purchase. I confirmed this by looking at old e-mails from PayPal. I tell her all of this but she insists that she did not use a checking account and never gave any checking account information to PayPal, and that she used a credit card to pay.

Another inconsistency in Chandani's story is that she said that her account was disabled because she received 3 unpaid item strikes from the same seller regarding the same item, a hat. It is imporrible for a seller to give multiple unpaid item strikes for the same item, they are only allowed one per item. I told her this, and she insisted that she had received 3 strikes over the same item.

approx 10:45AM: I call back Chandani and confirm that the mailing address was correct, and Chandani confirms. I confirm with her that she will be closing the dispute on PayPal, and she agrees.

approx 2PM: I call back Chandani and get her voice mail, that introduces her as "Lisa". In the voice mail I tell her that I have not seen the PayPal dispute dropped yet, and asked her to call me.

6:59PM: The case is dropped on PayPal.

Lisa made a moving post on this web site that reads:

Hi this is Lisa Basdeo from Toronto. I'm writing to give my condolences to all you Americans that has suffered from this great loss. Please don't think just because I'm Canadian that I don't feel your pain. I have shed my tears and I feel greatly sorry for all of you. Those bastards that did this cold hearted ast will pay greatly for what they have done to your hpme land, your pride and your lives. When it comes down to it the majority of the world will be there to back all of you up, especially us Canadians. And for all those sick son of a bitches that are celebrating over this tragedycan celebrate all they want right now but when the rest of the world strikes back we will be the ones celebrating over "our" victory. When the good parts (countries) of the world join together we will definately make it a party to never forget and that can go down in history. Many of you have lost loves ones, friends and even co-workers but no matter what God you believe in he or she will be there to help all of you heal your pain. On Friday September 14, 2001 myself and many other Canadians will be lighting candles at 7:00pm to show our feeelings against terrorism and join together as one. All we can do now is pray that this will be dealt with and put to an end FOR GOOD! For all those brave men and women that are working day and night to find survivors, any evidence and ready to stand up for America and fight this battle are all heros. There are far more good people in this world then there are bad people and this will all end. When this bastard gets caught for his cowardly act he, his country and his followers will see how powerfull "we are" then him. He claims how powerful he is then why can't he show is face or show where he lives and fight like a man if that's what it boils down to. Is that what you call someone who is a brave leader or a cowardly leader?That is the question I would love to ask Bin Laden. We are facing a man that has great strategybut he can't even fight for himself, he has to plot and arrange to attack with no warning and get other people to do his dirty work while he hides...what a man! May all those that have lost their lives to this tragedy rest in peace. My prays go out to each and every single one of you that has suffered from this incident but it's not over yet. America please remember you will come back and don't forget that many parts of the world will be there to back you up... Sincerly Yours and God Bless, Lisa Basdeo
