I made a purchase from him tried contacting through email, forums and his vistor message wall. Never heard back saw he signed in after I had sent a couple PM's with no reply to them, He replied right away prior to purchase and sent pics of boxes, never sent tracking or replied to me again after money was sent, PayPal disputed filed immediately turned into a claim. He had 10 days to reply and never did so PayPal did a reversal of funds but still. Its been a ridiculous process. I am posting this to advise and warm users, hopefully the mods can ban his username and ip address, I have posted a link to the sellers profile page as well.

He has not been on here for 13 days,so Nobody is "getting banned" or anything, until each member has their say.
Life is full of surprises and maybe "**** happened".
Only he knows.
Since you now have your payment back you can relax and let the man come back and give his side.

I am sure that Roller (Section MOD) will look into things.

I can understand the lack of communication being a concern, but did you read the FS post?
Parts shipped from Thailand can and will take time to get here. They could be in transit, tied up in customs, who knows?

Next time, I would suggest that you hold off on pulling the Paypal dispute trigger. You do have 45 days to do that, and knowing that they are coming from out of the country, you should have waited a little longer to file the dispute. File it on day 44, and you will be just as protected. That way, it gives him time to work through whatever is happening on his end. I would hope for better communication, but sometimes life just happens and I cannot comment on what happened to him until we hear from him.

Purchase was made on April 22nd. I heard nothing from him with multiple PM's emails and a post to his visitors page. He signed on after I had sent all of that, and like I said was good about replying to emails quickly until I paid him that is, nothing after the I'll send you tracking info email. Its now May 27th he was on on May 4th..thats far greater than 13 days. (edit : He was on at noon today)

Like I mentioned I don't feel I should have to wait until "day 44" If I sell something and have the money immediately, I should be able to get that shipped promptly or at least keep the purchaser up to date. Its not like he wasn't on the forums either, he was so he should have replied it would have taken about 60 seconds to do so. The fact is he obviously checked the forums after I had sent multiple messages to them on it, and they didn't feel it was important to make me aware. how long does it take you to type "Sorry, your package is on the way" or "the tracking number is blablablablabla" or "Sorry, something came up I'm really sorry, I'll get it out soon" I typed all of those in less than 30 seconds..I don't care if he's banned or not, this was mainly a post for other users to consider as a warning on doing business with them. I read his visitor wall when I made my post on there for them, and based off others posts on there I decided after waiting almost a month I was going to file my dispute, if they magically show up then thats one thing, and I'll publicly apologize to him but, until then I think its fair of me to post a warning and not get lectured on my post because you didn't hear their side of the story. (Like I edited above he was on at noon today, and I still didn't get a reply, also he had 10 days to reply to the PayPal dispute he did not, hence why I got my money back.)

And in an ideal world no one would ever have to. I made a simple suggestion. You have two choices. You can either take it as a polite suggestion, which is what it was, and park your ego. Or, you can continue mouthing off to the people that run this forum. Either way, you are done trying to tell moderators how to moderate.

Your choice....but you only get one shot at making the right one.


And once again, you dont have the slightest idea what happened on his end. And whether you agree or not, it DOES matter. Good example, I will often check the forum on my smart phone when I am out and about. But I do not post on the forum from my phone. You dont know if he is checking the forum, if someone else is checking for him, what happened to him, etc etc. And just as you want the benefit of the doubt with your "I shouldnt have to wait 44 days" attitude, he also deserves the benefit of the doubt, at least at first. You cannot have it both ways. Stop trying to.

And like I said, premature. What exactly can you warn people about? You dont even know what happened! You bought something with international shipping, and knowing this, you "should not have to wait 44 days". I was just posting a suggestion to you that would cost you nothing and still protect all of your rights and money, while still allowing time for the situation to possibly develop. It's already been noted by me that his lack of communication is a concern. If you cannot see the reason in what I posted, then please just stop buying from this forum's members entirely. This used to be a community where people looked out for each other....we allow both sides the chance to speak up for good reason--because most often, these situations are easily resolved with a simple application of communication.


Did you pay any attention to anything that the mods have posted in this thread? For example, did you even notice when I said that I understand the lack of communication being an issue? No one here attacked you, so drop the friggin ego trip and knock it off.

Now youre starting to push me, and it wont end well for your member status here if you continue. I approached you with nothing but politeness and I damn sure am not going to put up with you attacking me when I did nothing at all wrong to you.


I'm glad you got your money back. Now, stop jumping on my nuts over your apparently way too easily bruised ego. We have been moderating this section and handling disputes for a long time on this forum....longer than you have even been a member here. We do not need you to try to tell us how to do our jobs here. And, in case this is not enough for you, go brush up on the rules of this forum that you agreed to follow when you joined. You have had two moderators post NOTHING but politeness to you....and youre about to wear that politeness out. I'd respectfully recommend that you take a step back and cool off before you push the issue too far for nothing.

I wasn't attacking you, sorry you see it that way, Just as I saw your post as attacking me which obviously it wasn't, so I apologize to you for that. You've mentioned a few times "it could have been solved with communication" which I tried to do, they didn't respond, either way before I brought it here after the multiple attempts to solve it with them, and even before filing the dispute. You also mentioned things happen in the life that prevent us from completing things, which is why I filed the dispute when I did. Either way I just wanted to put a warning out there as stated for the other members of the forum as you also mentioned, "Looking out for each other". It has nothing to do with bruised ego on my behalf if it did I wouldn't have apologized to you about the way my post read. Thanks hope this clears that up.
