Yes, really. Half a year and a tear in a leather jacket.

Triple check stuff for defects, if there's any, make sure to accurately describe it in the listing, and a lower price. It's not so hard. Things don't get damaged miraculously in transit when there's nothing to show for it on the packaging. If on the rare chance it happens, fix things asap, it's respect for your buyers.

There was enough time to fix the problem, I gave you info for bank transfer as you said, but nothing came of it. I even gave you a week's time before I escalated things and reported here, you never replied. Your profile showed that you were online at least once a day after I sent the pm. Still nothing, and I'd wager it'll probably be the same as previous instances if I just kept quite. Viola, it worked.

There's really no reason for not replying within a week's time, given today's connectivity to the net, even a quick reply will do. The "Last activity today" indicator in the profiles is the killer. You visit the forums, yet you chose to ignore the pm's. Think about that. You wouldn't do business in the "real world" like that would you? I sure as hell don't. If you're really that busy, shoot a quick pm, let the other party know when you'll be able to. If you just disappear for weeks on end, shit happens, you don't leave people hanging.

Might I add, I've never purchased anything from you before this transaction, only asked.

i know he's sold a lot of stuff, but here's my story.

bought a julius leather from him in december 2011, condition was labeled as pristine used or something. paid by gift (yeah sorry my fault, figured he's legit anyway), received it, ok everything seems good. opened it up, found a blown seam/torn leather on the right armpit area around 2cm (pic included at end of post). uh oh, a lemon. how a 2cm defect went unnoticed and not a mention in his sales thread is beyond me. more frustrating is that this is leather, its not something i can sew up easily like a knit, which i often do enough.

notified him immediately, and he offered to refund me $50 for the damage. this was back in december. here's how it went (red font highlights when he said he'll pay up)

1. dec06 - pm'ed him about the hole, he offered to refund $50.
   
2. dec19 - said he'll send the $50 by xmas day (nope)
   
3. dec30 - said his paypal was suspended, asked me for google checkout (i'm not US based, plus its for merchants) or bank transfer (decided not too smart to just hand out bank info)
   
4. feb11 - ok whatever, sent him account info (yes i could've done it sooner :\)
   
5. mar01 - he replies to my feb11 pm, saying he needs more info. ok.
   
6. mar05 - gave him the info.
   
7. mar19 - he says he'll send it (nope)
   
8. apr12 - asked him what's taking him so long, if there's any problems.
   
9. apr17 - says he's got new paypal and that he'll said the $50 (nope)
   
10. i play with my thumbs and wait. finals time.
    
11. jun06 - i ask him what's up, he says he needs to verify his paypal. (ok, that was more than a month)
    
12. jun28 - gave him a few weeks to "verify" his account and asked him when it's ready
    
13. july10 - he says it's been ready for a while, and that he's "sending the $50 now" (nope)
    
14. july12 - asked me if i wanna do a trade, no damn it i want my $50 you promised to send half a year ago, fuck sakes.
    
15. here's where we are now.
    

gave him lots of time to remedy this, you can say i'm stupid for not posting here earlier but i know reputation is hard to come by so i decided not yet. well it's half a year now, doesn't seem like i'll be getting anything so at least this will be a warning to others. he was nice enough to reply and offer $50 though, fwiw. but then again, it really shows what kinda communication you'll get when you deal with him, slow as hell. so watch out.
