after discussion with a mod, and unfortunately, i’m leaving bad feedback for @ThrowButcher and starting this thread.
i was purchasing a tivayder about two weeks ago, once the transaction went through i never heard back. once mentioning cancelling the transaction via message after not hearing regarding shipping, and hearing from another forum member they had attempted to purchase the same piece and experienced some awkward conversations. he stated (in an awkward message) he would reverse the transaction, but nothing since… i’ve contacted paypal.
i was also contacted by another forum member whose transaction has not been completed, and has spoken to the mods.
based on our conversations, he may be going through personal issues, i don’t know. but, i’ve tried contacting him through email and the forum several times, and he has been on here as recently as 4 days ago.
I’m afraid I’m in the same boat. Sent him the money for an Antidote on May 28th after normal communication, he said he would ship in the morning, then nothing. No response to the follow up messages.
I hope that if it is something in his personal life he is able to resolve it and get back to folks soon.
I also sent payment for a couple throws 15 days ago and contacted without hearing anything back as of yet. The day I sent payment he sent a picture with all of the yo-yos in front of the shipping boxes he was planning to send out the next morning (including @jeremy s MC I think) so it looks like he was ready and intending to send them out at the time.
This is a bummer. I know he’s a good guy but he was also going through some bad financial times with his family due to COVID … not that this excuses any kind of shady behavior of course. Maybe something really bad is going down.
If you can’t get any response, or any payment restitution after a few weeks… ping me and I will send you a yo-yo to help cover. I can’t guarantee it will be what you originally paid for, but it’ll be a nice metal yo-yo of some kind.
thank you @codinghorror for your continued generosity, i’m just waiting the paypal out… i’ll kick down a throw if this guy used his ‘veteran status’ to burn any of you other people too though…
I agree. If he was intending to scam, there wouldn’t be any reason to send a picture of the yo-yos in front of boxes ready to ship out after the payment was already sent.
Does anyone know enough of his personal info ie. First and last name and location and maybe check his local obituary. He could be dead. Its possibility atleast right?
