Paid for a video card, never received. Filed paypal dispute.
bilbo was the Seller on November 30, 2003 AnandTech
(links on the bottom)
I paypald David $80 for a vidcard I highly expressed that I needed ASAP. He agreed to ship out the next day in our terms. After paypaling, I sent him a lil PM next day to confirm he shipped. I received no reply. He has logged in every day for a couple of days after I paypald, bumped his thread a few times and completely ignored my PMs.
After that, he went MIA for TWO weeks. Logged in once around Nov26th, and no response neither. (Neither to any of my emails)
After 2 weeks, I filed a paypal dispute and did some investigating. I found his phone number and called his house. He gave me the usual excuses "emergency" "internetproblems" "Havent used the computer" "my girlfriend uses the computer". All that, and then he said he had "shipped" the video card, so he felt no communication was neccesary. I asked for proof, he said he doesn't have none. No DC or receipt. EVEN is his words prior to our deal "youll see the card in 2 days", which is true..Priority delivery time between VA/NJ is 2 days. Didn't see no vid card for 2 weeks.
In the phone call, I told him there is another member that also is complaining about his lack of communication. The member said he sent David some memory and still has not received payment. David told me he sent him payment. Anyways, his voice sounded shaky and I told him he needs to make good. He asked how, I told him for one he could refund my money in the paypal dispute, he said ok.
After hanging up, 1 hour later I had a full refund.
If I had not done investigating and gotten a hold of his number, there would be no refund whatsoever. There is no excuse..he bumped his thread every day for about a month, he sold one thing and then went MIA for two weeks. He has logged on and completely ignored PMs.
I would not pay David upfront, and I would stay away from this trader. He still has another unresolved trade, maybe even has more.

Response from bilboI sent the card I still do not have it in my possesion ontop of that I did not respond becuase I was in the hospital and things got behind ( IE I had no computer access in the hospital)Shortly there after I recieve a phone call from him about the situation and got off the phone with him and went into the next room and refunded his money in less than 10 minutes to resolve the problem. Aso for "logging on" and not responding I did not use my computer telepathically from the hospital but my girlfriend often uses my pc and browses anandtech and yes she would not payattention to PM's. All I wanted was a good transaction and things happend and now I have no card and no money.November 30, 2003

I sent him a stick of ram and then didnt recieve payment. He wouldnt repond to pm's or emails and finally zipmach gave me his phone number. After calling once or twice a day for 3 weeks he finally paypal'ed me. Buyer beware this guy seems shady. Here are some links to the threads regarding him:

Response from bilboI am sorry I did not respond to pm's I was in the hospital IE no computer access. As for the phone calls not really as often as you say( I do have caller ID and am contemplating speaking with your mother (he is 16). As soon as you called me and got a hold of me I sent you a second money oreder for 20$. Both ow wich you never recieved. I wanted to paypal you from the beginning but that was not possible you had no access to paypal and would not have any access to it, Then all of a sudden you call me and ohh I have a paypal address at wich I said then I will paypal you right now and then this can stop and with in 10 min I had paypaled you 20 more so my 256ddr cost me 60 + all shipping charges, Also the phone calls at 11:30pm were not appreciated by other household members as peope try to sleep then wereas I work nights and evenings, I am typing this as I have been home for all of 15 min from working all night.December 19, 2003
