Pended two separate trades with Chris on August 12th, with him receiving a bunch of Nintendo DS games for 63$ papal or money order. I shipped August 17th after I got my paycheck, and he received the next day. (DC# 0103 8555 7496 8892 0789) He marked received that day and marked that he sent the next day. That same day he began posting my games as for sale with prices set higher than what I had just sold them for.

I sent him a message on the 22nd, as it should take no more than 1 day turnaround from his location to mine regardless of mail service selected. He replied "I was sending a money order but would you rather paypal? LMK which is better, I will have a large deposit this week into paypal for an immediate payment to you, otherwise if I do paypal they will hold it for 5 days like an electronic check? so If you wanna wait till like wed. I can do immediate through paypal or should I stick with the money order here?" Now of course that already implied that he didn't send on the 18th as he marked since he claimed he WAS going to send a money order.

On the 23rd, I told him I didn't care either direction and he told me he would "I will send the money order since I already have it, rather than cash it out. LMK when you get it thanks."

On the 26th of August he exclaims "LMK when you get the money order for this? been having problems with my post office when I mail out pymts, as soon as you get it LMK thanks."

On the 2nd of September, he asks "those money orders should have gotten to you by now? did you get them so we can finish the trade?" I replied that they had not in fact reached me yet and I asked if he had gotten a DC# with it so that we could dig further into it. He replied "I dont know if my wife did, I was out for surgery and had her doing all the mailing for me, I will do a search tonight through all my mailing receipts, and if I find it will post it up for you, if she didn't I will give it a few more days and if you dont get em, will pay you via paypal and then if you do get them you can mail em back to me or just reject em." I told him it sounded good and to let me know if he found anything.

On the 15th of September, more than sufficient time to search for a slip of paper and/or rectify the situation, I asked him for an update on the situation because I had yet to receive the money order. He replied " i just put a stop on yours and another guys I sent out, the bank has to reissue them to me so I can reship em out? as soon as I get em from the bank will ship em out with tracking numbers this time." I told him to let me know when he had something.

On the 29th of September I again inquired about the status of our trade, he stated "I am having issues, the other guys got cashed, yours got lost, so I have to get them reissued, if i dont here from the bank by friday, I will just have to pay you via paypal to get these trades finished...I will let you know what I find out though." At this point I begain to dig into that situation with the other user who claimed that he was spewing him the same story, but insisted that he never received a money order or a DC#.

On the 5th of October, I asked him if he heard anything from his bank that week regarding the matter. He claimed "they are calling me today? will let you know.."

On the 10th of October, the crap hit the fan so to speak, and the first of now numerous BTRs was filed on him and I received a message from him stating "wanna get this done, when I get the paypal cash, wanna just pay you with paypal to finish this, please send me your paypal info...." I gave him the paypal address and waited. I figured I'd let him time to clear up trades were he actually had to ship something instead of just doling out some cash.

He hasn't been active since October 28th, the same day I sent him a final message asking about the situation once more now that he's cleared out over half of his pending trades. I feel like I've obviously been more than lenient enough. I only sold those games for some quick cash to cover my bills for the month and now 2 and a half months later I've still not received the money and am still a month behind on the bills I wanted to use the money for. I feel he thought he could flip my games for good deals and ended up failing. I hope he can make good on this, but my hopes are quite diminished now.

UPDATE: I SENT CHRIS AN EMAIL ON NOVEMBER 24TH AND HE CLAIMS HIS "COMPUTER AT HOME DIED" AND THAT HE "SENT ME TWO MONEY ORDERS, AS WELL AS MY PACKAGE BACK." I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T BUY IT AND FILED A MAIL FRAUD CHARGE ON HIM. I PLAN TO CONTACT HIS LOCAL POLICE, AS WELL AS THE STATE POLICE AND THE LOCAL DISTRICT JUDGE TO FILE A SMALL CLAIMS CASE AGAINST HIM.

I'll remove this once I receive the 63$ paypal as a gift, a 63$ money order, or my games in the same condition (or better in the case of ones that were without case) and 3$ to cover some of the cost of my shipping charges.

Trade was confirmed Sept 18. He had fully received the game and $15 via Paypal by the 21st. From that point forward, he was dishonest with me at every turn. He marked that he had sent the game on the 21st. I asked him for a confirmation # on the 25th. He said he would dig it up and post it. He never did. I went on vacation and got back Oct 5. Still no game. Followed up with him. He said he would get it to me that week...i.e. he had never sent it. Oct 10 I suddenly get a msg that he is sending my game back and he was refunding paypal. Attempted to talk him into just honoring the trade. He then said his son's friend had the game and he was going to get it back. I received a game a few days later...but it was the game I had sent him. He still had not refunded the money....and still has not refunded to this point. He has not responded to my requests and warnings that I would file a BTR even though I can see he has logged on.

I was extremely patient with this guy yet he has intentionally misled me and knowingly lied several times. I am not happy with this situation. I can't believe that someone could have so little honor, pride, and dignity. He needs to refund my $15 and apologize without making excuses before I will consider removing this BTR.
