i need a little help

jusdb · Post by **jusdb** » Mon Jun 14, 2004 10:43 pm

has anyone been in contact with a user named "betterthanezra"? i purchased a t-shirt from him about 2 months ago. no sign of the shirt. ive been in contact with him and every pm its the same "the shirt will leave tom.", "my wife was supposed to mail it", "etc", "etc".

has anyone heard from him? i understand that he had an accident recently, but i think that 2+ months is plenty of time to drop a package in the mail.

any info (or opinions) would be appreciated.

Well, you can always take it up with ebay. If you paid using a credit card (even through Paypal), you can take it up with them too. As a last resort, there's always www.fraud.com 2 months is not a reasonable amount of time to be kept waiting, under any circumstances. I recently had a seller apologize for waiting three weeks to ship a DVD because her poor son is dying. What could this guy's excuse possibly be?

bought the shirt thru pms on the board...so neg on the ebay help.

paid w/money order....guy was an active poster seemed legit.

i want to think he will come thru, im hoping that someone will post "yeah, i talk to the guy daily via email.....ill mention it to him"

or better yet, if you have his email addy, please forward to me at jusdbATyahoo.com

i have only communicated with him via pm's here and his email addy isn't in his profile.

Oh. Didn't realize you met him through the board.

You can still use www.fraud.com as a last resort on this one.

It'd be nice if another user could verify the guy's credibilty though.

bte was gone from the boards for awhile but came back recently saying that he had been gone because of an accident at work (lost a finger i believe) try looking at one of his recent posts...

Betterthanezra lost a 'body part' (I think part of his hand), & has been in alot of pain coupled with financial problems. Check his last posts to verify. I would like to think he'll come through soon enough.

yeah, i was aware of the injury and the recent posts......i was kinda fishing for contact info. i just want to touch base w/him and verify that he is still planning to follow thru. ive gotten numerous PMs to that effect, but......2+ months now....ya know?

He's online right now.

Hopefully, he's well recovered and PMing you as I write this. Sounds like he's been through a lot...

Justin for some reason the PM I was trying to send you isn't connecting.

So I'll do this here.
The item in question was mailed out and you can track it from the USPS website. The item number is #0303430000238833960
Sorry for the lateness I shouldn't use the accident as an excuse I let other things get in the way of sending this to you and I'm sorry.

Enjoy the shirt.

So I'm not the only one having trouble sending and recieving pms today?

Glad to see everything worked out, though.

PMs seem to be going through, they're just wonky

Pms will not go through if your sent inbox or sent box is full.

.

I try never to receive pms. And I NEVER send it.

also if you send a pm it sits in your outbox until it is read by the recipient. so if you send a pm to me and i don't read it...it will sit in your outbox and give the appearance of not leaving.

wow, this thread strayed a little.
