Ok, Fignon chap here...
I have received the components and the items are as described, they came within a week of posting and overall i'm happy with the deal.
The reason for my starting the dispute was this. anyone who deals with me here or anywhere else will get payment from me as soon as a deal is closed.
However i of course realise that people cannot post items immediately but the least one can do is acknowledge receipt of payment, as a courtesy if nothing else.
I paid on the Monday and heard nothing back until i kicked off the dispute on the Friday, fact. in the meantime though HMA was posting here and the thing that really triggered my doubts was the fact that the original post advertising the items had been deleted from the forum. I don't know how that happened perhaps the Mods did it who knows?
So here i am sitting in London thinking i've paid a complete stranger in eastern Europe not a small amount of money and this is how the situation is playing out...yes i got spooked.
I want to say in conclusion that HMA did come through very well on the deal however and I do believe he's an honest fellow. I regret in hindsight that I doubted his integrity and if he's not too pissed off with me i would buy from him again.
So, the moral of this tale is communication. If someone hands over their hard earned dosh say thanks and let them know the score, it saves a lot of grief and anxiety.
