I won a series of auctions from Mage Ink (the_faust) back at the end of August and beginning of September.  I paid via Paypal on September 5, which was well within the payment time limit of all auctions.  The seller emailed me that he had sent the items using DC#9101150134711959943506 (which, if you check the USPS website, it confirms that he printed a shipping label, but nothing more).  On September 26, I emailed him to ask about the status of the shipment, since I still hadn't received it.  On September 29, I emailed him a second time, since I hadn't received any response.  Finally, on October 3, he sends me two emails: "It has been sent.  Let me get with the Post Office to see if anything is going on. :)" and "Sorry for the delayed response.  We have been on vacation since Sept. 20th.  What was the question?".  I responded to his emails on October 5, again asking about the status.  On October 7 (more than a month after I paid for it), I sent him a final email laying out my complaint once again, and asking him to try to resolve it without getting to the dispute level.  No response.

I opened a dispute with Paypal on October 10 to try to get my money back.  Still no response.  Finally, on Monday (October 15) I leave him negative feedback, complaining about not receiving any shipments and no communication.  Today, I find that I now have retalitory feedback accusing me of fraud.  Plus, I apparently have three disputes accusing me of not paying, which he knows is false because Paypal recorded the payment.  Beware of this seller!  He obviously withheld feedback from me until I left feedback for him, even though I paid within 24 hours of winning my last auction.  Sellers who use these type of tactics should be avoided at all costs.
