Bad Guy Steve Jordanides

I sent an email to the one you provided me with, i have not received any notice either which was why i was worried. I was just trying to get a responce, i know you have a good rep here and was not trying to ruin that. If you say its ship ill consider it resolved, mods can delete or lock the thread.

When you post on the BOI, it is here to stay. There is no deleting, or locking. Maybe you will think twice next time.

What a nice guy.....I am at work right now so I will deal with this later but for now, your stuff was shipped and you should have gotten the automatic notice from Fed Ex like I did. i have not been on here checking PMs. An email (like Harald just sent me) would have solved all of this. I will post the tracking number when I get home so everyone can see the stuff (Along with all the extras I included for you) has gone out.

Don't you get emails from fauna saying so and so has sent you a pm?
 
No but you generally do when you get a response on a thread, which is why i posted multiple replys in his fs thread, hoping it would get his attention.

This was the only effective avenue to get a response, and it did work reguardless of what people think. The email provided in the pm's is the one i tried to contact him with, i sent multiple pm's over the course of a week with no response, i really dont think im out of line for wanting somekind of contact.

I dont think it's jumping the gun at all. Once a seller has a customers money they should totally be on top of the transaction and be in communication with the buyer

It doesnt matter what they have going on in their personal/professional lives.

If he has "something" going on that is delaying the completion of the deal then he should let the buyer know.

I find this pretty much unacceptable

Agreed... especially if he has time to log in here for whatever reason.

Actually I should clarify this statement as our discussion would not have reached this point. I would have told you that they were no longer available after your first "You still have not replied to my post or pm regarding your stuff to 97470 " post. But again, I do appreciate your making this thread.

Your bent out of shape because i was in a hurry to pay for an item i wanted? So what its 35 bucks, i was in a hurry to buy it because stuff like that on fauna goes fast. How is that a bad thing... I am a consumer, who wants your product, and wants to pay you right now.

Have fun doing business your way.

As for Steve i dont hold grudges. Im not posting this because im out to tarnish someones rep, i just wanted to know what was going on with my order, not sure what fedex notification your using but i have not recieved anything yet, and my paypal does not say its been shipped. Sorry if im overly prompt with response, but i was in the dark for a week.

This thread is what it took in order for me to get a response... Period.

and if he's selling items via Fauna- maybe it should be turned on :)

I agree.

I were in the OP's shoes I would've been emailing asking for an update also. I probably wouldn't have jumped to the BOI right away, but he did and it got the response he was looking for.
 
I don't get notices.
I also updated the ad the day it was sold.
The last time I was on here was the 27th.
I never got an email from you.
BTW, in addition to the items in the ad you are getting, I also added in an additional 36 inch strip light with bulb, a Zoo Med lamp stand and a programmable digital timer for the strip lights. I did this because it was a PITA to try and find a 36 inch shipping box so I ended up cutting and joining 2 different ones. Because I wasted time looking for a single box for you, I figured I would send some extra supplies to make up for the delay.

This is the email I got from Fed Ex. You should have recieved the same thing.

I figured you got this email. In the past 4 days, you have sent me 6 PM's (which I just opened), replied several times to the ad, and posted a BOI thread. WTH!
 
Lights sold on 9/26.
Here is my PM to him on 9/26
Got it. I will send you the tracking info when it goes out. I'll mark it as no signature required. Thanks.

9/28 he sends this PM
You send the lights out? Curious if you have a tracking number?

9/29 he sends this PM
You there? Have not heard from you...

9/29 he posts in the ad
Im still waiting on a responce...

9/29 he sends another PM
Well i still have not received contact from you either with a shipping number or just to keep me updated. Not really wanting to push this to the boi, but your not contacting me, whats going on?

9/30 he posts in the ad
you have multiple pms, reguarding my purchase of the lights, please respond...

9/30 he sends this PM
I see your online now, you have tracking information? Or are you going to continue to ignore my pms?

9/30 he sends yet another PM
I will be posting a negative BOI thread tommorow, as it seems your dodging me, ive seen you online atleast once in the last few days and you could have replied to any number of my PMs.

Im giving you until tommorow morning and then im posting it with screenshots of my payment to you, and also our pms, or rather all of mine sent to you.

I will also be filing a dispute with paypal to get my funds back.

Really didnt think buying lights off here would be that big of a deal...

10/1 he sends this PM
Boi threads been posted.

Then he posts the BOI thread.

Damn, I didn't think I needed to live here to make you happy.

I wasn't going to ship any of this stuff but agreed to it for you. Should have just tossed it in the trash.
 
You have not made contact since the 25th, those pms were not from the 26th, i can ss my pm inbox if you like.

You were online this morning before i posted the BOI thread, you could have checked your pms or email then and prevented this thread. I sent you an email on the 29th



I also have not received notice at all from fedex.



The last ive heard from you was the 25th with the pm saying you would get back to me with the shipping information



I appreciate what you have done for me as far as the product goes, but i was completely in the dark with the order. All you had to do was reply to any number of the pms you had. You said you were online on the 27th, why not reply to a pm then?
 
Less than a week and all hell breaks loose over $35.
Hope you enjoy the stuff when it arrives.
 
It was the 25th, i gave you a week, you ignored every form of contact i tried to make with you. I was more than happy to give you what you wanted for shipping, we negotiated a price you provided, i would have gone higher if it was that big of a deal to you.

You had made claims you didnt want to ship the exoterra because it was glass, but none of your posts on your thread made it seem like you had a problem shipping the lights.

I gave you a week and contacted you multiple times, if your going to be upset that i posted this, then you may as well be upset with yourself for dropping the customer service ball and not responding to me.

Dont try to discredit a transaction by how much the dollar amount is, i worked for that 35 dollars and im damn well entitled to know whats going on with my money.
 
You have not made contact since the 25th, those pms were not from the 26th, i can ss my pm inbox if you like.

Umm. Yes it was.

And i think anyone would agree from the pms you provided ive tried to make ample attempts to get in contact with you so that this could have been prevented.

7 hour time difference LOL, why does it matter anyway. Whats a few hours.

Just to throw this out there. Is it possible that somehow you deleted, lost or missed the FedEx email with the shipping info? I am sure there is a possibility there. Be it an accident or what ever.

I can see why you would be worried when you didn't get a response, but If Steve felt you were taken care of after shipping and assumed you got the FedEx email, how is he a bad guy? Communication could have been a little better I get that but he may have just been busy and thought everything was cool. Who knows :shrug01:

Maybe Just me, but I think an inquiry/info on getting in contact with Steve would have been better than a bad guy thread. He was able to be reached pretty quickly via email by someone who knew where to reach him. I think the Bad Guy title was jummping the gun. Just my $.02.

Also you say this thread got you what you wanted. I don't agree. You were going to get your stuff and you are right this thread did help but it was not the thread that got in contact with Steve. I believe that was harrold or another mod. again an inquiry would have done the same.

For the record I wouldn't have been to happy waiting without a responce. But I would also be able to say , I see what happened. He thought I was notified and this was a misunderstanding.
 
I dont delete my emails, you can see on the fedex search i have some from 07. I also emailed him, ahead of time, before this thread.

I felt that i gave plenty of notice, and i would not have posted this if he would have replied to one of my pms on the 27th, or this morning when i saw he was logged in.
