I just want this to be clear, i mean scammer in general. Someone who offers a product or service and delivers it in an untimely fashion or not as described, but when you try to get these errors fixed they string you along. Which is what happened to you for 5 months. And if thats to be expected i think thats important for people to know, which is why you made your post. Also i said @EdDude did this mistakenly, fair enough, what i didnāt like is being offered a replacement( which is fine) and refund. When i entertained the idea of a replacement he responded swiftly and promptly, but when i put my foot down and asked for a refund he disappeared. Which is why i made this thread, i donāt like being lied to or lead along for the benefit of others especially when it has to do with me buying something. All i said on your post was I personally would not recommend people pay with F&F, and take swift action instead of letting things go on for too long. Others can afford that scenario, otherās cant.
And i meant same beware post as in, he has a good seller history, but she had a hiccup. Not literally the same issue as me. Sorry for the error, the reason Iām a little more than pissed off is because this has happened before and I usually am charitable, but these days it happens all too often. Thatās all, when @EdDude send me the promised refund I am more than happy to put this behind me and hopefully add to his positive feedback page. Thanks to everyone who had encouraging words for me and about previous experiences with EdDude.
Personally, I would consider a scammer to be someone who never planned to deliver the product in the first place. Calling a known bst merchant a scammer carries a lot more weight than calling them unprofessional. Just my 2 cents.
Fair enough and i never meant to call eddude a scammer, i meant scammer in general, not specifically referring to eddude at all. Now for the dude that lady dealt with i canāt speak to. The entire reason scammer came up is i mentioned being scammed before in another post blah blah blah words got twisted. The entire reason for the post was for my issue to be noted and noticed. Thats all.
Update! EdDude has sent me the refund for the little yoyo hiccup. Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement and of course thank you EdDude for making things right.
Wanted to drop a positive rep post for @EdDude , I had a really smooth transaction and the yo-yo was shipped very quickly! It arrived as described, in very good packaging!
Multiple great sales+interactions with Ed recently (both buying from and selling to) package i received was very well packaged and shipped within 24 hours 
Bought a yo-yo from Ed and it was promptly packaged and sent within 24 hours. The yo-yo came just as advertised, no surprises.
Grabbed a Galaxy Time from Ed after a blunder on my part for the G2 Valhalla earlier last month.
He was incredibly fast to respond when he got back, and very quick to ship out the throw once payment cleared.
Throw was in - what I believe had to have been - weapons grade protective packaging. There was no way this throw was going to get damaged.
Iām incredibly happy with the experience, and if I wasnāt so broke, Iād buy more!
Just completed a buy from a top notch seller @EdDude and recād my throw today! Fantastic condition and the detail packaging is beyond top-notch!! Love to deal again? Absolutely 100% satisfaction dealing with EdDude
Just received a throw I bought from @EdDude
Top notch seller!
Shipped super fast and the packaging was sublime(very protected)
Thanks Ed!
Received a throw from @EdDude. Great seller overall, with quick responses that keep you up to date, very thorough packaging(I really mean thorough), and being super nice in general
Another positive experience with @EdDude. Great to talk to, throw was packaged incredibly securely (even the yoyo itself was wrapped), and kept me updated and responded quickly. Went above and beyond for support as well. Thank you once again for a great opportunity!
Managed to snag a cool throw from the epic firesale from @EdDude. As usual, great price, great opportunity, awesome throw, and packaged like a shipping professional. Kept me updated and informed, and happy to work with once again, many thanks!
Ed is the bestttt! When he says heāll ship, he ships, which I appreciate a lot. Iāve now done multiple deals with the man and have confidence every time, the throws are packed safely and shipped extremely quickly.
Bought a few throws from Ed recently, super smooth, great pics, great prices, fast shipping, incredibly well packaged, deal with confidence
Have bought multiple throws from Ed this year and everyone he ships fast and packs phenomenally. Will definitely be buying again
Iāve had several great experiences with @EdDude
No one packs a yoyo like Ed!
I highly recommend him as a seller and buyer!
Iāve made multiple deals with Ed, heās always had great deals and been easy to deal with 
I have made more purchases from @EdDude then I will even attempt to count. Heās the first person I ever had a transaction with on these forums. I have never had a single issue with any transactions with him and he always seems to have some of the coolest or rarest throws for incredible prices! I always look for his posts! I just bought five more yo-yos from him today. And Iām sure plenty of these posts mention the insane care he takes when packaging your merchandise. Itās like getting a Christmas present that somebody wrapped six times, lol! Itās tissue paper then Saran wrap, then foam paper, then Saran wrap again, then bubble wrap, etc, lmao! I have had nothing but positive experiences throughout every single one of my probably at least 25 transactions with him. Every throw Iāve gotten has been as described or in significantly better shape than described. Responses to any communications are always quick and friendly. As stated before, packaging is a 30 out of 10 rating. Shipping times are quick. And the throes that he makes available to you are often times very unique, rare or just plain desirable! The prices sometimes are insanely low in comparison to other listings of similar throws. Iāve only had great experiences and will continue to specifically look for his listings! Awesome seller! Ed, You are very much appreciated!!!
