Amount scammed: $64

Explanation of the trade: buyer reached out about placing a custom order of about 15 NC items. We agreed that I would send one half of the items first, receive full payment of $134, then I'd send the second half of the deal

How they scammed: as stated above, I sent half of the items on July 16th and awaited payment. A day later, still nothing except a message from them saying "im sorry i hope you can see i have not had time to login yet, will try to find time today to check". This is about when they stop responding to my messages. They log at some point on the 17th to accept the items. Tried reaching out multiple times both on here as well on the website the deal occurred (neopets.com) but no response. Their last activity on the website was 4 days ago. Last login on sythe was July 17th. Thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt in case something came up IRL, but 2 weeks is more than enough time to set things straight.

It doesn't appear that they have been active here since the trade, but I will place a precautionary DNT on their account until we can resolve this.

@rugbyboy can you help us out here regarding the delay in payment?

@rugbyboy you will need to pay back your debt here if you wish to request a pardon and return to the market.
