Anyone deal with OpTiMi5t? I paid over a week ago and have received no shipping or any responses from him in over 4 days. Has logged onto SL in that time.

I have decided to open a paypal dispute regarding this. considering every method of contact i have has went silent from seller, will be escalating to claim this evening.

Figured I should warn the community. Since this was over $530 dollars, I will follow all legal actions possible.

Looks fairly shady from the start with the eBay pics, no SN posted. Not sure what to tell you man. Go through with the paypal claim and see what happens.

3min3m2

Yeah thats it. Never had a problem on SL before...

I'll post how this goes.

I wish I could understand why people do this ____ though. As much as it might suck - if something has changed, just say something. Even if he can't sell it any longer - just say so and refund the money.

Why the shenanigans?

read the link ack posted and that s__t was no good...he couldn't even reply to basic questions...or provide his sn in the pics....
I don't know man, good luck to you!

Yeah. I plan on pursuing it as far as possible. Part of me down inside hopes its just something came up...but that feeling keeps going away...

Has been escalated to a claim on paypal.

Anyone think they can find contact info for him??

There's always his AIM account and Myspace profiles (both linked in his profile here).

This is pretty messed up though:
Maybe I'll send him a PM and point him to this thread. Not really as a Mod... but as someone who thinks this is f'd up.

Money is being refunded via Paypal.

He "says" he canceled shipping the other day due to me opening a claim. Which i did today.

I'm still confident he tried to screw me and didn't get away with it.

I'll post again once this is completed.

Thanks for your help Ack

Still just messed up. As long as you get your money back though. Funny about the "canceled shipping" from "the other day" though.

3min3m2

Yeah that is exactly what I'm saying. especially since they are open on Sunday...yeah...

man i thought that sale was a scam when I first saw it and it turns out it probably was. Good thing your getting your money back.

3min3m2

Yeah I hate to rag on people, but if he really shipped it, all he had to do was scan a receipt with tracking info into Paypal and they would have waited...

That's why I put my money on scam.

Money returned, workings it way into my account. Not by his choice, Paypal decide in my favor since seller had no proof of shipment.
