Seller:
@clmartin1314
Buyer: @kevinswan007
Description of Bad Deal: I contacted him to buy a laptop. After paying him, and him acknowledging receving the payment, he then said the laptop was not 100% and he didnt want to send it as is and asked if I would rather want another laptop. After negotiations, I decided to rather get a refund. He agreed and asked for the bank details for the refund.
That was the last time I got any communication from him, despite numerous messages asking him for an update and feedback about when I will be receiving the refund.
I can see he has been logging in occasionally, but continues to ignore me.

So I dont know why he has gone rogue. He did mention going to Australia for a month (apparently he left Tuesday) but thats no excuse to do the EFT. If he can log into Carbonite, he can log into the banking app.
And at least reply to my messages.

So I hope he will now explain himself as to why he has taken my money and gone silent.
Warning to anyone else thinking of doing business with him.
 
@clmartin1314 please respond here ASAP. Let's see if we can solve this before the weekend arrives.
 
Apologies as I have been traveling to Australia for the past 2 days and had no wifi. I've asked the buyer which bank he is for the refund as it doesn't state with the details he provided. Apologies again but I'll do it as soon as I have this.
 
clmartins is sometimes slow with his responses but I also did deal with the guy and he is legit, give him little bit more time mate he will sort you out I am sure, he is slow but dependable :D
 
Thanks SerialBrain2, I understand clmartins had to travel last minute, but its now 7 days later and still nothing. I understand his situation, but I'm sitting with no money and no laptop.
 
@clmartin1314 come on man, you were online 45 minutes ago. Just pay the guy like you agreed, today still, please.
 
Hey Man

I'm waiting for th bank, I can't get a one time pin with my standard bank on my aus number and they haven't got back to me.

I am going to transfer from standard to my fnb tonight as that I can confirm with the app so I'll do that, so should just take a day to reflect. Will let you guys know soon as done. Completly forgot about this otp story before I came over.
 
Yeah - can also vouch for clmartin1314 being legit and a good guy to work with.
 
Im waiting for my father to let me know (its my dad who paid and its his bank details clmartin1314 has)
but no word from clmartin1314. But most of the money has been refunded. Just waiting on a few hundred rand the last time the account was checked.
