Bad You guys ever deal with a situation like this?

While the bad PP address could be corrected by calling PP, that isn't the way the OP chose to handle it. Once that decision was made it is not unreasonable and possibly necessary to wait for the refund. All offers after that were just that offers and it is at the OP's discretion to accept or reject. Without other knowledge, I will give John the benefit of the doubt that this was not a scam, just a deal that didn't come together and best for both parties to move on.

Hey Peter, hope all is well and you are healthy. :)

If it was you, would you have given John the benefit of the doubt and sent more money to the right address?
Or just giving him the benefit of the doubt after the fact?

1st decision would be how much I wanted the item and how much effort I was willing to put into it
If I really wanted it I would call PP and explain the address error and hopefully it would get resolved there.
I would not send out more money, without being credited for the 1st-so it would be the original payment getting to John or wait on a refund and go from there.

Totally understandable. I assumed something different when I first read your post...and we all know what “assuming” can turn into. Better to ask for clarification. :)
Thank you for the polite response.

And now @John A Agatucci has limited who can view his profile. That is an automatic "do not deal with" of people I don't know on the exchange. If his behavior as displayed and outlined in this thread has not excluded him from all future deals, that last action has.

I think he had that locked from the word go. Couldn't even go find the sales post when this started.

Hmm. I thought I had went and looked at his profile when this started. Kind of odd to have your profile locked and be active on the exchange. A user trying to hide their information and trying to engage in transactions is a huge red flag.

Either way, oh well. I doubt anyone who reads this will want to deal with him and I hope no one who tries to look at his profile, finds it blocked, still thinks it is a good idea to conduct business with him.

No kidding. That's about the first thing I do when I see an interesting ad is see what other posts the person has.
 
I know I'm late to the dance, but I'll add my 2 cents. John Agatucci is one of the worst human beings I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. He enjoys repeatedly raking people over the coals over the slightest misstep in your dealings with him. He has a true talent for belittling. I can't imagine having him as a neighbor, a co worker or a customer. You've been warned.

You probably would be better served with posting a new thread on your dealings and issues with the member in question. Also details about the issue your having would be useful.
 
To answer the original question I did once have a similar situation. I advertised a reasonably high dollar sword on another forum. This guy got in touch and we settled on a price. He paid me for the sword and sharpening it. That was Sunday evening. Monday night I get home from work and check my email. I had three emails from the guy, each one more strident than the last. The third suggesting that I was a thief with poor communication skills. I wrote the guy back noting that 24 hours had not even passed since payment was received and that I had not had time to sharpen the blade much less send the package. He calmed down and said to continue as we were but I got to thinking...and then I sent him a full refund. It just not worth the drama and I could only imagine the meltdown he would have had if the sharpening had not been to his satisfaction in some way.
