I offered taxiwarez 300 for his GTX 980 TI strix. He told me he didn't have that card but he had a ref MSI 980 TI that he could send me for 300. Then he told me the MSI card was defective and he'd send me an EVGA card for $30 more. I said no dice, no more money, and he said he had a Gigabyte card he could send me. Never happened.

EDIT:

For more detail. This sounds similar to what happened to the last review (which was Neutral rating). Basically, the items he had listed were no longer available, but he had something similar, and he would send it out soon, which never ends up happening. In my case, he didn't have the original (Asus), then the one he was going to replace it with was defective (MSI), then he wanted more money for a different card (EVGA), then he told me he'd send me a fourth card (Gigabyte), and then he stopped replying. I never once got a tracking number; he obviously never actually shipped anything.

I don't know if this is a scam of some sort, or if his account has been hijacked. I am not familiar with this seller but prior to this he seems to be prolific and well-liked.

I started a PayPal inquiry and left negative feedback here, at which point he got back to me and said he had some hospital issues, basically. Honestly I don't believe him at all; his stories included needing to ask his "boss" for permission and also having trouble getting his "employees" to mail the package. He also said in this message that he'd ALREADY mailed the package, I guess hoping I'd cancel my PayPal inquiry. I told him to send me a tracking number and I'd cancel my feedback and PayPal inquiry. That simple. Never happened. I've since messaged him again, saying I'd still rather see an amiable ending to this. Still no reply.

ORIGINAL:

After 3 days, he sent me a message saying the card was not working after some testing and he could send me an EVGA VR edition for 30 more. I told him I wouldn't pay more but if he couldn't send that one we could work something else or. He told me he would send me a gigabyte ref card he had or the EVGA card if he got his bosses permission. This process of back and forth messaging took roughly two weeks. Finally, after not hearing from him for two days I told him he could either send me a tracking number or a good excuse. He did not respond.
