Bought Jade empire from him. Paid with paypal. A week later get an email saying he's sorry for the delay and shipping soon. Two weeks after that still nothing. No response to PM's or emails (when site proves he's been back multiple times since they were sent).
Rooter was the Seller on July 8, 2005 AnandTech
Twice now I've bought from this guy. (Due to bad memory on my part.) Both times he did the same thing, stall for awhile then disappear. First time I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back. This time the claim is still pending. Be warned. At the best he is a very slow and unresponsive trader who behaves like a troll and never seems able to ship when he says he will (or in my cases, ever).
Response from Rooter1) First time was a Radeon 9800 Pro. I intended on purchasing a new video card after selling to him. Financial issues IRL kept me from doing so, I was hoping I could sort it out so I "stalled" as he said. As soon as I refunded I did, but he was impatient with me and filed the paypal claim a little early.
2) I've just had bad luck I guess, similar issues happened this time around, car problems and some stuff going on in my real life that made me forget about shipping a game for awhile. He was refunded both times and I hope we can be neutral towards one another now, as the rest of my trading history on anandtech is positive.July 8, 2005

Bought a usb PS2 adapter, HDMI cable & PS2 game
Rooter was the Seller on January 17, 2007 AnandTech
I bought these 3 items from Robert on 12/19/06. After he received payment, there was no communication at all. I tried 3 different emails as well as sending PM\'s.
After filing a dispute with Paypal & escalating it to a claim, them items arrived on 01/18/07, one month after payment, postmarked 01/16/06. And still no communication.
If he hadn\'t sent the items or responded by 1/20/06, the date paypal would have resolved the matter. I would leave a negative eval. But since I received the items in good working order, I will leave it at a neutral to hopefully teach him better trading habits & warn others what to expect.
Simple communication would have prevented this Robert.January 18, 2007

Bought King Kong HD-DVD
Rooter was the Seller on September 28, 2007 AnandTech
The item took a 2 weeks to arrive and communication was spotty, but I got the DVD. If I had bought something of more value perhaps I would give a neutral rating, but the HD-DVD was only $15 and I\'m not going to complain too much about the communication and shipping because of this. On the positive side, Rob accepted google checkout which was a nice plus since it offers the security of being able to use your credit card.

Purchased Google Nexus One.
Rooter was the Seller on June 26, 2010 AnandTech
I have to admit I was a bit hesitant about dealing with Rob because of the latest neutral and negative feedback. However, after contacting Rob about the feedback he assured me we would not run into any issues. He came through on his end and I am pretty happy with the purchase. The phone was as advertised. The USB cable's connector was a bit bent but not a big deal since this can be replaced cheaply if needed.
