Seller does not deliver handmade kukri after 7 months, when I ask for a refund he does not reply !

I have no dog in this fight, but this is my take on it.

He offered a product, he took money for the product, he then did not deliver plus he spent the money that he did take for them. The buyer's got nothing.

This is nothing short of fraud and theft and that's how it should be seen, period.

Tim should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The problem is that he's in another country whose law just might not be the same as ours.

Paying for something 100% up front should be looked at very carefully, especially when it's in another country. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
I hope that there is some type of resolution to this, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

You are right, and normally I would be more pissed. Something about his son that passed away made me softer in my response.

I haven't looked for a few years, but he still has a YouTube channel. I don't know what to make of that. Does it mean he is still active in taking money, or does the small amount that comes from YouTube motivate him to keep it? He should start his video with a warning: Namaste, I take your money away

Nice of the Kailash folks to offer to help out when none of this is their problem. I've noticed in the past that these sort of health issues do occur but oddly in these situations they always seem to occur AFTER payment is made but BEFORE product is delivered. Weird...
