Thumbs down OpTiMi5t - Bad Seller

>> OpTiMi5t <<

Long story short. Tried to buy a TRD Diversion Panel OpTiMi5t was selling. He told me he would ship it out next day. Payment sent March 10 and no contact after that and still no contact till this day. Don't know happen with him, but he has logged on here and there and never responded to any PMs.

Not a huge deal because it was only $30, which I got back after PP dispute.

Just a warning to anyone thinking of dealing with him. Very shady dude.

Yea all links work for me too.

Well it was an attempt to scam me. I guess, but it failed. Although it took PP almost 3 weeks to complete the dispute and return my funds. Like I said, it was only $30 bucks and most people can live without that. But I just don't want someone been scammed for hundreds of dollars by his dude and be out of it for a few weeks.

Make sure you look at itrader ratings and use them when you have a good sale and remind the buyer to leave you a rating as well. Also always use paypal and never do a gift as you lose all dispute privileges. Paypal fees are a part of the process so if someone isnt willing to suck it up for good business dont buy!

If people cant take a few minutes to do that then they deserve to get screwed. It does nothing but help out others in the community. It does suck the itrader thing didnt happen a long time ago. Id have over 50 positives.

Yea, I just found this site in dec 2010. but I've easily done about 10 transactions. I rated everyone and I only got 4 back in return. oh well. On my tech site, I have about +50 and on ebay is around +60... all positive. I've been dealing on-line for a long time and know the ropes pretty well. Paying by gift in PP is the worst thing you can do. Never do that.
