Hello you all.
I am the jerk,the ripper-off,the awful one who got LYSFUN in such an horrible experience that made your hearts blooding and your tears flowing.
I just have to point out some things you should know before joining the chorus line :
-there was a misunderstanding from the very beginning of this transaction,I specified being in ITALY,EUROPE,OVERSEAS,and having an address in the USA (FL) to get merchandise,NOT me being there.
_given that,I definitely don't live in N.Y and don't know why it was believed that.
-as we agreed on the deal,I planned to use PayPal,but encountered troubles from their side that are still to be cleared up,maybe their international service is still not up to standard,I don't know,as I've made other payments through them and it worked properly.
-Then I opted for a cashier's check that's the most safe way I know to pay someone abroad,and the most hassle-free (not this time anyway),and had the check mailed by my bank with insured mail.
-from then on,I had no more any power to modify,speed up or do anything about that mail,and that's something any reasonable person should understand.
-I notified LYSFUN of the payment,and was,from then on,ready to prove I did it anytime on request,sending by fax my receipt.
-as days passed,I kept receiving emails from him,even twice a day,AM and PM,complaining he was not getting money and other people were asking for that knife,and he was losing a possible sale,and so on,with a rather unpleasant and suspicious tone.
-I tried anything I could to explain it was a normal timeframe,but had no success as it culminated in the most offending mail in which he claimed to relist the knife for sale,which he actually did.
-at this point,being the one who put his money out for nothing,I was pissed off enough and asked for a minimum of personal respect,as a customer and as a person.
-As for the "threats",let me say that I just kept clear what would be the following of an unfair act as selling out a knife which was legitimately already sold to me,and for your informations,folks,in every country where commercial law applies,a deal is made and legally valid when the parts are agreed,money is sent and each part can prove its act vith valid documents,period.
-If and when something happens in between,name it postal slow service,snowstorm or just plain bad luck,it's time to be patient and fix the situation as gentlemen,not blame the other for something he's not control on.
-I'd like to see any of you gentlemen tossing out $ 555,sending them in and being treated as a liar or a scam because the recipient does not trust you,or needs money faster than he gets it;I guess if any of you was in my shoes,and had the knife sold to another one,would have been not happy and had to do something,or are you telling me you would have swallowed it down ?
-money arrived as it has to,but if I had to block the check as it seemed likely,it would have been a bureaucratical nightmare.
-in the end,I hope no hard feelings are left from each side,as long we recognize publicly each other as honest human beings.
I would suggest,anyway,to everyone,not to jump so quickly to sentences in a public forum as long as you don't hear both sides of the story.
