Purchased a Acer Netbook from him, but it would not detect the SSD that was supposed to be inside.

mr9865 was the Seller on March 26, 2012 HardForum

I paid on April 27 via; cash and hardware I sent him in partial trade; it arrived on April 31 and would not detect a hard drive installed. Since this was a very hard to open netbook, there was no easy way to check for a drive. (It needed multiple screws and keyboard removed and I didnt want to damage it).
At this point I didnt not know if the drive came loose, or was forgotten to be installed, or intentionally taken out to screw me, since the drive was supposed to be a SSD he installed.
I emailed and PM'd the seller on May 1, and multiple times after that, but did not hear from him for 6 days, on May 7, and this was after him having excellent communication all the way to the point of shipping. During that time frame, I PM'd a mod at [H], who agreed that I had a legitimate beef and was time to contact paypal. I filed a dispute and finally heard from the seller, who showed very little concern for my situation. His reponse was ?Ç£ The SSD is there, I would google the model number to get instructions on removing it.. I figured he didnt give a crap, so I escalated my paypal complaint and tried to fix it myself, and of course broke some keys. At this point after the paypal dispute, he wants me to send it back for a refund, but since the refund would mean he has to ship my parts back to me, and I no longer trusted him to ship properly or even ship at all, or have timely communication, I escalated my paypal complaint. On April 7 he denied a partial refund. However, he then agreed via email that he screwed up, and on April 9 he agreed to a smaller partial refund, and said he would tell paypal. Paypal contacted me on April 9 to see if I would accept it and I said yes.

Today is May 17, and I still do not have a refund and he no longer will respond to me.
I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO LEAVE A NEGATIVE SINCE I THINK THOSE ARE ONLY FOR TROLLS IN MY BOOK, BUT ANY FUTURE BUYERS NEED TO BEWARE OF HIS POOR SHIPPING AND POOR COMMUNICATION. p.s. The problem ended up being that The SSD is inside, but came loose because it is not installed properly. It is missing the foam cushion or support piece that goes on the other end of the SSD to keep the SSD SATA connector snug when it slides in.......if you move the netbook around enough, the SSD slides back and away from the SATA connector; that is what happened during shipping.
