Does anybody personally know this guy? Bought a cue Sat. and paid Paypal F&F minutes after deal was struck. He lives in Can. and said cue would go out Mon. or Tue. He contacted me Tue. and said something had come up and it would go Wed(11-29). Well Wed. has come and gone and no contact at all. I pm'd 4 times between 5pm & 11pm yesterday. He has a spotless 100% iTrader rating and during the sale process we pm'd back-n-forth no problem. I'm starting to get kinda freaked out here.

I was going to ship this morning. But based on this post, I’ll refund and kick you an additional $10 for pain and suffering.
Nice doing business with you. You’re on my blacklist of people I won’t do business with again.
The sky is falling.
nvm... none of my business.

Shawn i pm'd and emailed you. I apologize for the mix-up here but in your last msg. you said cue was going out Wed. That's the only reason i didn't know what was going on. I'd really like the cue if possible. In my defense one msg. from you yesterday would have avoided this. Sorry.
He’s being blacklisted because he had my personal email. But messaged me 5 times on AZ, then posts a thread about me, asking about my character. I am ONE DAY LATE. And I was going to make it up to him by shipping overnight express on my dime. However, yesterday was a shit show. I was going to email him this morning to explain the issue. I woke up to 5 PMs and a thread about me. Despite my “mistake”, as you call it, there is no need for a buyer to go postal.
And, for the record, he didn’t pay F&F. We did it on the up and up. He has buyer protection.
When i bought the cue i was told it would go Mon or Tues. On Tues. i was told not til Wed. On Wed. i heard nothing. One msg to me yesterday would have avoided all of this is all i'm saying.
Really would like cue if possible. Sorry for all this. My bad.

You didn't even allow a day for whatever he was dealing with to subside.
Too fast to freak out, especially with buyer protection and an established AZBro.
I am all about the customer service , but darn OP I think you totally freaked out on this one.
I totally see this side of it. I apologized to seller. All i can do.
I have refunded your purchase. Fees were deducted from the refund. This totalled $693.36. I will send you an additional payment to make up for the remaining amount owed.
I am out of pocket $50 on this “sale”. Never question my integrity again.
I deleted my post but you quoted it because you saw it before the deletion. Don't quote me on "mistake" I never said that word. I said you missed the promised ship date twice. I'm sure you had more pressing shit to attend to (not being sarcastic here, I know text can convey the wrong emotion at times) and personally, if I was the buyer I would have been fine with an extra day or 2... especially knowing that of your positive iTrader rep and also the fact that you are a regular poster here... AND... especially if I paid via a normal Paypal transaction and not Friends and Family like OP originally said. Pretty shitty of him to lie about that in the original post.
Guys, this might be funny to some of you. I don’t hide behind a username. Someone has questioned my integrity on a publicly accessible web forum. Someone can do a google search of my name, and find this. My integrity is worth more than $720.
Here’s what he has left out of the story. First, it wasn’t F&F. Second, to save time and possible duties, I was crossing the border to ship from the US. Third, I didn’t charge him a cent for shipping. Fourth, I have been in communication with him every day except yesterday. A family situation came up. I shouldn’t have to report in to a dude I’ve sold a cue to within 12 hours of the incident. And, fifth, he had my personal email. He chose 5 PMs. Then a post. And then he sent an email.
I have impeccable iTrader. He doesn’t. Draw your own conclusion.

My mistake there. I do a lot of F&F on other sales but this one was PaypalCredit. Look, i'm not ducking that this could've been handled better. Again, in my defense i paid the seller minutes after the deal was done. I was told that cue would go Mon.-Tues(11-27,28). Tues. i was told Wed. and Wed. came with zero contact or info. I pm'd 4 times between 5-11pm(Central time). I don't think all of what's happened is my fault. One msg. from the seller and none of this would have happened. Too bad. BTW, if anyone wants a super clean Mezz with a Wx and a EX shaft contact Shawn. Cue looks factory perfect.
