While I understand your frustration I don't think he was ripping you off. About three months ago I bought several carts from WGolly and it took him a long time to get them to me but they did come. Also, like you there was no communication. I left him positive feedback and asked him if he could do the same but that never happened.
I'm not saying it's ok to do business like this. Knowing up front that it might take a while would have eased the tension. I just had patience and trusted him for his great feedback and one day they all showed up exactly as how was described.

That is a fair point but I paid him on the 3rd of January and gave him 16 days before I even started this thread. I sent him numerous messages and an email, he never responded. I would have been happy with a simple reply explaining the delay but I got nothing. Still nothing from him during the whole paypal claim duration. His feedback and long membership does count for something but I've been here a similar length of time and would never treat a buyer like that. He's going to need an iron clad excuse if he wants to restore his reputation here.

And that is why you should always use a credit card as a funding source with paypal. They know if you win the dispute and they don't refund you that you can file a charge-back with your credit card issuer, which ends up costing them more than just giving you your money back. If you use a bank account or paypal balance, you won't have that protection; they'll fuck you if the sellers acct is empty. Glad to hear you won the claim and recovered your funds.

only reasonable excuse is that hes dead
Well, I didn't want to mention those possibilities but you never know. 50+ positive deals here in 10+ years and suddenly he snaps over $100...???

that was his master plan he made a whole bunch of accounts and gave himself positive ratings over a 10 year period so he could finally scam someone for $100 haha

I've seen a few different accounts with the same name, appearing to be the same guy on a few sites. Maybe he'll pull a Tonk and peek back in after a few months.

That does sound out of character, maybe somethings happened to him, as if he was going to turn scammer, he hasnt done a great job with the 100 bucks being returned, so hes made nothing out of it plus lost his reputation in the process.
Glad you got your money back

Big has definitely vanished. Not sure what happened to him. I actually hope he is OK. Dude was a huge arcade nut. We used to hang out years ago, and he always was trading and getting something new for his setup. Hell, I traded a few items with him back in the day too. Then, we sort of fell out of touch and I haven't seen hide nor hair of him in years. I occasionally bump into old reviews of his on Yelp, though, for restaurants around the area. Definitely a cool guy. I don't think he'd intentionally scam anyone... Not sure what the heck happened to him, though. Like I said, I hope he's alright.

Sorry to hear about these. I have ever deal with some member here and after I sent money to him, he is quiet around a month and then he sent PM and told that he is in the hospital for operation emergency. I hope your case will pass as well and have seller's news back soon

He seems to read his messages but does not respond on them, maybe he has a severe form of keyboard arthritis leaving him only with his mouse shouting at the screen that all will be dealt with !
I have seen that before so maybe it's contagious .

I'll try to dig up his number. Last time I talked to him was probably 2008 or so. Time flies. Looks like he reviewed something on Yelp last June, but nothing since. I'll see if I can find him... Oh, and not to derail off from WGolly... I just haven't seen Big in forever and since he's also got a deal pending as well, I'll see if I can find out what happened to him.
