I think I've been reasonable in my request and patient in the company following thru. I paid in full $850 up front and that money is tied up- no product - no refund. I'm chasing new dreams and losing patience tho...

Teach me patience or WWYD?

I'm not trying to complain behind their back. I kept names out of it but its hard to completely hide who the company is I suppose...

I suppose my next step is to file a paypal claim and request a refund for no product shipped.
I'd honestly really rather not take that step if anyone has a better idea?

If you can hold out you will get your money back or at least a pipe. I can see being fustrated but every run of pipes he dose always seems to take a long time but in the end they all get delivered. Im sure it will work out if you can dig deep and find a little more patience. I can see the fustration of having 850 tied up for a long time with nothing to show for.

It's not a complaint thread, its a give me advise thread. I shared my issue to get advice. Its a small sport, I know many can easily figure it out but I did my best to minimize that. I appreciate everyone else keeping names out of the thread. I purposefully left the person/business name out of this as well. I've no intent of slamming or bashing them. Heck you can delete this after it served its intent for all I care.

I rarely ask the court of public opinion for there verdict. I guess I just wanted to see tho. I feel myself reaching my limit and wondered if I'm out of line. Its been 5 months and honestly, this has hardly bugged me. When I think of it I message him, then I forget about it.

I'm always chasing dreams, pushing myself, planning something with my money and time. Sometimes it makes me look at my "resources"... what I have and what I can give up to get what I want. I'm working on some goals and plans last night, it reminded me about this money I had tied up. Thinking out loud, yeah because I'm stretching myself I'd really like that money back or a pipe to sell to recoup some cost. That's not his problem, its mine. That's not the real issue tho.

The real issue is that I did not force or set this expectation, he made a free choice and commitment. One I then set an expectation on. I didn't force that commitment. I rightfully expected follow though on what was promised. Multiple times over many months - no follow thru. That's the real issue.

I've decided to send one more man to man message seeking the refund agreed to.

I logged into Paypal and it looks like their ability to support a refund ends in two weeks. I'll give him until Feb 10th, if not resolved by then, I'll contact paypal for support.

My thoughts are be a little more of a pest. Like not be hostile about it but follow up more quickly stuff like "hey sorry to be a pest but wanted to send a quick reminder about the refund thing from yesterday..."

No excuse, it SHOULD be taken care of, but at this point I would say it is possible that it is a legitimate oversight and he just doesn't think of it when he gets the chance. I'm a forgetful guy myself and I could see if I was really busy and working late I could have full intentions of doing something "when I get time" and forgetting about it.

My $.02 I don't think you'd be out of line to do a formal thing through paypal, but personally I'd do the above first.

You should deffo get the pipe or the refund. I might have missed this - but what was the wait time on the pipe?
The paypal claim service is a joke - but you should be able to contact your card issuer (only you paid with a paypal balance)
Then your bank or who ever issued your credit card might be able to file the claim.
At least thats how it works in Denmark and how i got my 3500 usd out of 5500 usd back, from when i was hustled by Steve Ortega.

5 months is a long time to not refund $850. I would not be as calm or patient as you have been over that amount of money. $20, sure I can understand. Almost $1k? File the claim now. You've given him adequate time and notification.

I'm back into grump mode today. Grrr!

Seller didn't respond to Facebook chats (how we've communicated the whole time), wont return phone calls, and has ignored the Paypal claim I filed on the 10th.

Meanwhile, in Facebook land as I scroll thru my feed it shows me he's activity posting pictures of projects and new exhaust pipes. What did I do worng?!?
