My side of story.

First of all He(SideSwipe) emailed me on Wed, 28 April 2004

"Noticed you bumped the thread yesterday, it is still available? If so, i'll take it. Just need to deposit the funds into my bank account and then transfer through paypal. How much total was it again?

Then I replied: Wed, 28 April 2004

"Yes it is still available. Total will be US$230. Shipping is Free by Canada Post XPRESSPOST with a tracking number.

He replied: Wed, 28 April 2004

"Alright, i'll deposit the money asap, and let you know."

I replied: Wed, 28 April 2004

"Ok. I'll reserve the DBZ Part 1-12 for you. Done. My Paypal ID: XXXXX or if you prefer me to send you a "Request Money" form, just let me know. Anyway email me whenever you are ready. Thanks."

----------
1 Week has gone and he did not even give me any news at all. He told me he would deposit the money to his Paypal acc asap. I take it as 2-3 days when he said "ASAP". He also failed to let me know regarding of the latest status of his side so I took it as "Lost of interest". Since there are few people interested in buying the DBZ set, so I sold it.
Also about the past dealing with him; broken gatefolds? scratched disc? What the ...All of my discs are First Hand bought.(NO SCRACTHES OR BROKEN GATEFOLDS WHEN I SENT) He never even inform me of such things. IF he did not like it he should at least inform me which he never mention at all after he received the past discs from me. SideSwipe should not trying to find excuses to put me in the spot just because of this matter.
I always packed with greater care. Bought the supply directly from Canada Post with bubble wrap. He Paypal me without even notifying me at all. But I refunded him the money right away.

There is no trade involve at all so I don't think this is the appropriate thread for this matter. Since a week without any news at all from him, I regard him as drop out from the deal/not interested anymore. Also I did "UPDATED" in my Trade thread saying the DBZ set is "SOLD". So he did not even bother to take a look at all.

This is a simple case of lack of communication.

Hope this information can give a deeper insight of this case. Thanks for your time.


Rotpank.

He is right on one note, there is no trade involved, I stated that at the beggining that the entire point of this thread was just to warn others. Now onto the rest...

Correct. Anyone that uses paypal knows that transferring funds into your account from the bank takes 3-4 business days (doesnt count weekends), so either way, right there stated that I wasnt going to be paying him instantly. Now I admit not getting the money in my account last week was a mistake on my part, however I made up for it by instead sending him a direct E-Check (which is instant payment of funds through paypal from my bank account) so I could speed up the process. I just don't understand soomeone who clearly stated they would reserve an item for me ( a particularly expensive item, that took me time to get money for) that would only wait "2-3 days" before they just went and sold it to someone else. Its very impolite to say the least. Sure I paypaled you without notifying you, I was under the impression that you weren't this fricking impatient. And true you did refund me at least, however now the funds are frozen for 3-4 business days, so I can't access them, causing even more time to be wasted by you.

On past dealings, oh don't try to play that game "I buy all my stuff first hand" blah blah, the set I bought from you had gone through 2 other traders, I know because I attempted to get it from both of them, but was always one step behind heh. I talked with both of the previous owners and they had mentioned a few problems with the discs, but that doesn't explain why I wasn't imformed before purchasing.... Clearly there was something wrong in the first place, you just neglected to mention it to me. I did email you about it, but you never replied........ so I just cut my losses, I mean its not the first time ive recieved a scratched disc, normally im fine with it, as long as im aware of it beforehand.

And Im supposed to check a thread that you edited, but didnt bump it was on the second page somewhere, to be aware that you dicked me over and sold the set to someone else? C'mon you're just trying to cover your ass now, you did something wrong and can't admit it. I just find it totally unacceptable that I went to all this trouble to buy something that was supposedly reserved for mine, to find out that my actions were all for naught.
