On 3/8/11, I receivd a PM that "family issues came up" and he hadn't had a chance to sent the invoice and asked that I send payment to jus8alahabra@yahoo.com, which I did immediately.
He shipped them on 3/11/11, and I received them on 3/17/11. The shipment was missing 37 night goblins. I triple checked the count. I PMed him to let him know about the descrepancy on 3/17, and he responded on 3/19 that he would send them right away, no later than 3/22.
That's the last I heard from him. Since then, I PMed him three times (still in my outbox; so, he hasn't read them) and emailed him twice with no response.
The following are the PMs sent between us along with two unaswered emails that I sent to him:

Full details proposed:

night goblin shaman-primed black
goblin boss on wolf-painted
1 goblin shaman- 1painted the other is not
15 goblins with bows- only command is painted the rest are primed black
lots of skull pass night goblins- there is about 210 or so. in many different stages
10 goblin wolf riders- painted
giant-painted
All for $100 including shipping. Let me know if you're good with this. I'd prefer to pay via PayPal if that's an option for you. If you're agreeable to this, this will be my first deal on Bartertown in over 10 years. It's good to be back.
Also, let me know if your other deal on the fanatics and 90 BfSP gobbos falls through. I'd still be interested in those as well.
Thanx!

Can you accept PayPal payments? If so, please send me an invoice/request to rickdenny@hotmail.com, and I'll pay it as soon as I receive it.
Otherwise, let me know how you would like payment.
Thanx!

Please let me know how you would like to resolve this discrepancy.

The last three PMs remain unread (in my outbox). So, I sent two follow up emails:crazybaldhead Sent: Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:25 am wrote:It's approaching 3 weeks since you said you were going to send the missing gobbos. Please let me know what's going with this. I expected to receive them long ago.

Javier,
Still trying to reach you about the 37 missing Night Goblins from our deal on Bartertown. I sent 3 PMs, but I see that you haven't read them yet.
It's been almost 3 weeks since you said you were going to send them. Please let me know what's going on with this ASAP.
Thanx,

After waiting a few weeks and not getting a response, I put out a call to Bartertowners to see if anyone could help reach AngelXD19 (viewtopic.php?f=40&t=135361). With the help of an Admin (many thanx!), I got some additional information:crazybaldhead emailed wrote: From: email removed for security

Javier/Miguel Ochoa,
If I don't hear back from you by 5PM ET on Monday regarding the missing 37 Night Goblins from our transaction from almost a month, I'll have no choice but to file a Bad Trader Review for you on Bartertown. This will be my last attempt to contact you before proceeding with the BTR.
I'm sorry for it to come to this, but you told me that you were going to send the missing miniatures a month ago, and I haven't heard anything from you since that time. Please contact me ASAP!
Thanx,

It appears that he went by demonwarlord20 here on Btown for a while (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=13377) with the email on file for that account being demonwarlord20@yahoo.com. That account hasn't been used in years. Checking the references on that account shows good refs up until one bad one in 7/2009 where he didn't send all of the items. I'm guessing that's when he abandoned that username because the last time that account accessed Btown was on 11/29/2009.
He goes by Javier Ochoa or Miguel Ochoa. The PayPal account that accepted my transfer listed the recipient name as "Javier Ochoa", and the return address on the box he shipped showed "Miguel Ochoa". The return address was:
901 Heather Ave
La Habra, CA 90631-4578
That contact information matches what the Btown Admin found for me as well. The PayPal payment was made to jus8alahabra@yahoo.com.
The AngelXD19 account showed all good refs and that his last logon was 3/22/2011. So, I know he hasn't read my PMs; however, he also hasn't returned any of my emails. As the "How to Complete a Bad Trader Report" post states:
However, my attempts at such communication are unanswered; so, here is the result. I filed a dispute with PayPal requesting a refund of $10 on 4/11/11, as that is representative of the missing minis.Most issues can be cleared up by some simple, honest communication.
Thanx Btown, and Happy Trading!
