AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
What is there to dispute on PayPal? You got your item. It took a while, and I suppose the seller was tough to get in contact with, but PayPal is going to laugh at you for filing this dispute. I mean, they laugh at these issues anyway, but this one will get an extra.
I suppose it's almost plausible that his email notifications were getting dumped to junk, but he's been around and has been involved in a decent number of trades (enough that I remember another thread like this one). So, unless he just got a new email address or a new email client, that would likely not be the case. Sounds a lot like an attempt to get you off his back.
And, to Beemer: I understand this is the second rocky trade that Chaos Theory has been involved in, but in this case it was resolved (and I believe in the other one as well). I guess there was some aggravation, but is that really ban worthy? Really? Especially when all you're getting is the buyer's side of the story, which you know is designed to get him sympathy and to make it look like the worst thing ever so that other people don't trade with this guy. So what does this mean -- if I make a trade, and the item gets lost in the mail/I forget about it for a few days/there is a mix-up between the involved parties/whatever can go wrong that is wholly benign that I will end up banned as well? I don't know how many trades I've been involved in here, but I have yet to have an issue with a trade arising from a PB forum (or anywhere, for that matter... well, except for some angry email exchanges re: a craigslist posting but no trade ever took place). So, obviously you're the one with a banstick and I/we aren't, but this seems like one heck of a judgment call....
ummmm.....
read this post again....

WOW...finally after almost a month (2 days shy) he finally replied to paypal about 6 days ago with a reply, "I shipped it out, it aint there. Dont worry I have it insured so youll get your money one way or the other." "Ill check the tarcking on it and let you know"
And now today the 17th, i get a paypal email stating it was shipped out at 10:37am from MI. (thsi morning not 6 days ago like he said)
GEEZ...almost a month and he finally ships, and the bad thingw as he never was until i disputed it with PAYPAL. He has only replied to me twice since the deal has went down. Once on here day of sale, and once after i brought it to paypals attention. And still wont reply to any personal emails.
I JUST HOPE WHATEVER WAS SHIPPED WAS THE ITEMS HE SAID THEY WERE AND PICTURED ON HERE!
thank you all for all the help you provided me, appricated!!!

Hope you get your stuff Samurai Predator. Man, I noticed lately, alot of people just are not communicating. Especially on the Bay. You buy something, never here about it until it arrives. That is not how I do business. When I sell, I say I am shipping it out on this day, I then reply back with a tracking number and then check back to make sure the customer was happy with what I sold. A couple people just don't reply back and it is kind of scary. I hate to see what is happening these days but people need step it up and communicate and get there stuff together before they sell.
