Yes, but Sludge isn't on RBW consistently, I am. Here is the guy, unless someone used the same picture from his avatar on CDF and just happens to live in Elyria, Ohio also.

I would contest the charge with the credit card, unless you did one of those "send it as a gift so paypal doesn't charge me the fees" deals, then you are screwed.

I'll happily pay the paypal fees as cheap insurance rather than accept a seller's offer to call it a "gift". If you do a direct transfer getting the money back is pretty simple, with a credit card it's a little more involved from either pay par or the cc company, but either way if you sent it as a gift, the paypal response will be "What's your problem? You said it was a gift."

No I think I put services/other on the PayPal invoice! Can't find find the info, just that I sent him on a curtain date, time and how much!
First time I ever had to do this to somebody, feel kinda bad! But really mad too that I didn't get the plates
But yes I will phone my bank tomorrow see what happens! Says they can make a decision up to 90 days later!
Just wanna give him a swift kick in the butt

"Goods" would have been better, since you were buying plates, but you could make a semantic argument and state you were paying for him to machine plates for you. Either way Pay Pal got their fee on the transaction so they should cover you in a dispute, and the burden is on the seller to prove he shipped the item and/or that you received it.

With Pay Pal or a cc company, the critical issue will be filing the claim in a timely manner and if you don't meet their specified timeline, you're out of luck.

Keep in mind I was just giving the specs on someone on Rebreather World whose screen name is Bonediver. I almost never get on there, so there's a good chance it's someone else.

Exactly, and while my experiences trading stuff here, at TDS and SB have been all positive, I am usually trading with people that I have never met. A little over 2.9% fee is not going to make or break a worthwhile trade.

Ya bought and sold lots on scubaboard and Matt is the first one to stiff me!
I did not mark it in PayPal as a gift!

To DA's point, time is of the essence. Contact PayPal immediately.

Glad it all worked out for you. He really is a good guy, I think he might of just gotten a bit overwhelmed.

he may have gotten overwhelmed but it sure was a long time. I'm glad it's over.
