Seller: @BlackAdept
Buyer: @ThatGuy_ZA
Description of Bad Deal: Broken promises and poor communication
18/09 - I asked him if he has a Microserver that's available
09/09 - He replies yes - EDIT this is meant to be 19/09 - He says his supplier has stock
21/09 - His supplier confirms config, deal agreed
22/09 - I made payment of the full amount (R2000 + R100 for shipping)
27/09 - He sends driver to collect from supplier (after a few messages from me asking for an update)
28/09 - His supplier is "giving him the runaround", he might need to refund me
01/10 - I ask for a refund by the end of the day as I found another one and he not replying to my messages
02/10 - He will refund me "today"
03/10 - He is waiting for the money, "will do the refund today"
03/10 - Nothing received by end of the day, I ask for an update and he says he will do it "first thing tomorrow morning"
04/10 - [Morning] I ask for an update, stating I will post in the bad deals section if I haven't received anything by 12:00 today.
04/10 - [Afternoon]- I received my refund
--- I look everywhere for another server, can't find one, Max tells me that he got one from his supplier so I take it (mostly out of desperation) ---
14/10 - He confirms price (it's gone up to R2300 now), age and specs (exact same specs as the one above); we make the deal
15/10 - I make payment, he will ship the server "first thing tomorrow morning"
16/10 - [Morning] - Now he won't ship it until funds clear in his account
- [Afternoon] - He "will drop me a waybill around 5pm"
17/10 - Still not shipped, he confirms the funds have reflected and he "will send the waybill before lunchtime"; "relax bud, you will get the waybill"; "It will be shipped today, promise"
18/10 - He calls me to say that it wasn't shipped yesterday as it was over the 5kg limit and I would have to pay another R50 and he will ship it now. I suggest that he covers the additional cost as he delayed shipment by two days but he was adamant that I pay it or he backs out of the deal. He assures me that "It's an overnight shipment you can call Postnet to confirm" despite the waybill showing 2-3 days.
19/10 - I went to Postnet to see if it will be available for collection today and they tell me that it will only be there on Monday or Tuesday as it takes 2-3 days.
He is now adamant that he sent it overnight and I am "out to get him" but Postnet are telling me a completely different story. I was hoping to avoid this but I feel that these tactics and dishonesty have no place on Carb and people need to be very cautious when dealing with him.
