I call bullpoop.
This is after reneging the dispute where he didn't send me anything for a month and totally screwed my life coordination up:
(Sean, June 14):
Hey Adam,
Sorry I've been out of touch. I made a recent post on TB, I was out of the country (Germany, I'm in the Army) for a couple weeks. Anyway, the turbo is here and I can have it out by Wed, but there's a hold on my PP account and I don't have the money to mail it now. lol. So let me know if you want it or if I should sell it to someone else who wants it. Sorry for the delay, that's totally my fault. Thanks for being so patient!

I need it ASAP (I only have one car at the moment and it needs work - I can't do a lot of the work that I need to until I get the turbo!). I put a hold on the account because I had been emailing you and hadn't heard back (I assume you took the $ and ran). I don't know if there's any way to send it out sooner (or faster), but I really got screwed on this one as I planned a LOT around the timing of this (no offense).
I'll take the hold off, please just get everything to me ASAP. Thanks.
(Sean, June 14):
Ok no worries. I can mail it on or before Wed (I'm gonna be out of town again Thurs-Sun, I will make sure it's on the way before then!). Let me know when the hold comes off so I can get the money into my acct.! Thanks much, I appreciate it!
(Adam, June 16):
Sean, just verifying that this was sent out. Otherwise, I will make arrangements to get one by this weekend elsewhere. Thanks.
(Sean, June 16):
I'll be at the PO around 2 to mail it out. I'll have a tracking number for you then. Thanks!
(Adam, June 17):
Thanks Sean,
Do you have an ETA or tracking number for me? Thanks.
(Sean, June 17):
Sent it slow poke style because of funds, but I'm thinking by Wed-Thurs at the latest. I'm sorry it took so long. I'm gonna be out of town (middle of poking nowhere) until Mon morn, on my way out the door for a backpacking trip. I'll check back with you on Monday!
(Adam, June 21):
Sean, did you have a tracking number on this so I can plan my week? I need to get my other car in the shop and it would be great to be able to drive the Bertone. Thanks.
(Adam, June 28):
Sean, no turbo yet. I'll be disputing the payment again today as I never received a tracking number from you.
Still no turbo, PayPal was kind enough to re-open my dispute. This guy is effed. I had the chance to get from two different sources but didn't because I was holding onto empty lies made by the douchebag.
