Not sure if anyone else has bought anything from this guy or if any of his transactions went smoothly or not. A few weeks ago he posted an add about software. I purchased one from him via bank transfer. been a week nothing in my mail box or front office (where they hold packages). didnt want to accuse someone with out an explanation so i Pmed him twice and waited about 2 days. nothing so far. not a msg or an email. Of course there could be an explanation but maybe not. i only lost 13,000 won but i figured everyone should be careful. Waiting for an explanation Canoe

What did you buy? This seems questionable...

Not for any particular reason except for something else to consider but...

Sometimes, people who are considered reliable while they're here for a while, can "change" if they're about to leave Korea, and may do questionable things they might not do otherwise, simply because it's expedient for them.

I'm not saying it's the case here, but as I've observed it, there's been quite a bit of that here on this BB over time.

But the amount in question is so small, I recommend just letting it go, and chalking it up to the other guy's bad karma. You'll be so much the better man for it.

**please keep in mind that you didn't specify registered shipping or insured shipping, so the burden of the lost item is on yourself. this is in accordance with ebay's buyer/seller policies. If you want to guarantee you get your goods, you need to ALWAYS ship with some kind of security.

I'm not responsible. Sorry.

I didn't like the fact that you came out swinging, so I'm not going out of my way to help you.

the end.

From my standpoint, you could be deceitful. You could have received the disc and you dont know how to install, the item could have arrived broken or damaged, it may have been lost, or it may not have been delivered because Korean delivery people have problems delivering stuff. Not my fault

insurance? its a cd - i have never had problems of things getting shipped to me in korea via normal mail from other people on this site. and it usually took only a day or two. and come out swinging? i msged u twice and waited a few days. the hell you expect (if it was you would you just sit there and go shucks oh well). as for shipment cost of the cd i payed you 3,000 extra won. I aint an idiot i know what it costs to mail things in korea. so watever. if it comes it comes and if it doesnt ill think what i want to think
