This guy is a "maker" and is full of:poop:. What sucks to go a long with customers being screwed is that a bad experiance with this guy could make people shy away from legit makers.
Only buy their knives at big online retailers or brick and mortar's. Its not right that legit makers could possibly be hurt by this tool.
Just bad for the community :mad:

You don't know how correct you are bro. These guys ruin it for legit makers, short sighted in their thinking.
 
Maybe not so short sighted, they just don't care about the harm they do and certainly are not concerned about other makers. :mad: Short term thinkers-yes. :thumbsdown:

This is pretty much an identical paradigm, that we tradesmen face working in the construction industry. A few unscrupulous scammer contractors, put a negative stigma on the entire industry. I've met far too many trusting people, who've been scammed by contractor's who've taken their money and ran...:mad:

As for the OP & this thread:
I had contacted the OP (who didn't have a FB account). With his permission, I forwarded a link to this thread to Cody, along with a polite message.

Cody responded later yesterday evening, & then again this morning. We had a pretty lengthy back and forth chat this morning. He stated that he attempted calling the OP yesterday, but there was no answer. Cody & the OP, both stated that this was a credit card transaction, hence the money wasn't being credited to the OP's PP account, but instead back to the OP's CC. As everyone knows, refunding a CC account via the banks, can take a few days. Cody's last message this morning, stated:
"I checked my account and the funds have been withdrawn as of today."

^ Hopefully this is the case. Once again, BladeForums & more specifically the GBU sub-forum, has appeared to play an instrumental role, in helping put a huge consequence out on the internet, for people to do the right thing. :thumbsup:

Keep up the great work, Mike. You're a tremendous advocate, spokesman & mentor, for so many of the honorable maker's in the knife industry. :thumbsup:
 
UPDATE -

First of all, if and when this get's resolved, I will be more than happy to change this thread to a positive one. There's no need to drag this guy through the mud if he does make it right.

That being said, he did call me. I missed the call and haven't called him back yet. According to the PMs I've exchanged with KELAMA, the funds are supposedly in process. However, none of my accounts, of which there could only be two beside PP, show a pending refund.

I've requested the maker provide me with the last four digits of the card he refunded so I can try and run it down. I'm gonna give it the weekend and see if any things hits my accounts on Monday.

I do very much appreciate the efforts of KELAMA - it's been a huge help.

When you say "change the thread to a positive one", I am not certain what that means exactly. However, I would ask that you NOT change your first post or edit the title to reflect only a good transaction. Add an update in this thread when you have one and maybe add the word "resolved" at the beginning of your title, but it is important, at least to some of us, that the full story remain so that we can make informed choices about who to buy from. Erasing the first half of the story and leaving only the good parts doesn't really help.

Good point edge....

Funds hit my card yesterday. Thank you BF and specifically KELAMA.

ISSUE RESOLVED
 
Very happy to hear that news!!
I would also ask you to leave the thread title as is, with a positive outcome edited in.
You still were out your money for over 2 years, were lied to and had much of your time wasted.
This was not a happy experience......in the least.
