Negative seller feedback for user Prodigal
I will be cross-posting this in the main thread as I have already PM'd Cloggerdude and unfortunately this user seems to be on quite a bad streak as of late.
I responded to
Prodigal's post for Bayonetta 1/2 Wii U from 07/05/2016 with a PM and
this post on 07/06/2016. He responded via PM on 07/08/2016 at about 2:30AM. After a few PMs back and forth on the 8th, I ended up sending over my PayPal friends and family payment at around 6PM on the 8th, and he responded he'd get it shipped out this weekend (so I assumed the 9th or 10th). The last PM he has sent me was on July 14th at 6:40AM saying, verbatim, "I'll send the tracking info when I geto to wkork todya, sorry." He has yet to reply to my follow up PMs for shipping details or a refund.
Now, what I failed to notice was his previous negative feedback and the fact that he
reposted his WTS post after he replied to my PM expressing interest in buying the game and at a slightly increased price.
I've also noticed that as of a screenshot posted today, the paypal email address he sent another user differed from the one he sent me, which is another bad sign.
I'll be the first to acknowledge that I made two key mistakes - I did not check his feedback prior to the purchase and I fell for what was likely a too-good-to-be-true price. My feeble defenses for these decisions are that the vast majority of users in the B/S/T thread have positive feedback, so I didn't feel the need to check, and that people do routinely post things below eBay prices in the thread.
But, overall, I would recommend NOT doing business with Prodigal.
