Scratch loose figure

[The Cheese Phone]

Continuing my rarity items for sale is a loose scratch in excellent condition. He comes by himself with no box or accessories. Will ship international or domestic. Make an offer. Fastest pm responder gets it. No trades. Must be ready to complete.

I normally wouldn't do this, but I'm frustrated.

I've been trying obtain my purchase, and or money back, from this dromer for almost 3 months now. I see that he has sent other folks their items, on time as promised, but somehow I didn't make the cut. I've contacted him weekly since I made payment, and have tried especially hard to be patient through this awful transaction. Granted he's had some personal problems that have distracted him from following through, but they started a month after the purchase. I made my good faith payment the day he asked for it, and this part is my fault, I chose to gift it as he requested. Its pretty clear he's not going to follow through at this point. Nothing I can do now other than to warn other folks to re-consider if someone asks you to gift a payment.

In 3 months, I've had 3 other successful transactions here that happened flawlessly, and on time. Heck, I purchased artwork from here, the gentleman had a family issue, and immediately responded and refunded my money the same day. That's the level of respect we should have for one another. I've had one other issue like this since I started posting in 2008, but the dude eventually came through. By and large this is not a common problem, but I still feel taken advantage of. Not to mention it's a total loss of time, and money for me. If you've read this far, thanks for listening, and sorry for my rant. I'll still continue to purchase here, but with greater caution going forward.

Frustrated.

If something is purchased here I feel a tracking number must be given in 24 hours. Also if the dromer has little or no reputation here then I wouldn't submit it in gift form. I don't understand why it took him so long to refund your money but a tracking number would have protected both of you guys investment. Just my thoughts after reading your story

But thank you for warning the community. It's good to share your experience with everyone else here.

He didn't get a refund from this person with the scratch. He got a refund from someone selling artwork. So, as of right now, he's still out the money.

I'm in the same boat as Papa Smurf. And quite a lot of money for me :tsad: Same story, lots of problems before shipping then he said he shipped it but after that no more replies and no tracking, gave him the benefit of the doubt as I live in Sweden and shipping might take longer..

My first transaction on this board and this happens :tsad:

Sounds like this guy is bad news get the word out so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Being the nice guy might mean others will be ripped off.

Got an email from TCP. I edited some of it to keep the personal stuff out. You can never tell someone what to do, you can only motivate them. Clearly a paypal claim is your motivation now. Pitty it came to this man. Should have just refunded folks their money.

Let me know if it was you or not and if you got the money back from the claim. If not, I will make good on it this coming Monday when I return home from visiting family this weekend. I just don't have time for anything else. I will make good on this promise though.

I also got an email. Telling me I will be refunded on monday.

Crossing my fingers for y'all.
