here is a thought: reinone either
A-Paid full amount collected by us to boot maker to make all boots that the interest list provided and has no money left. Thus awaiting to sell to those that didnt pay to have money to ship out boots to all of us.
B-Paid half to boot maker and waited to pay rest when order was filled. Had money problems, used what was left over to help pay rent or whatever.
C-Paid like A or B and got screwed by boot maker.
there are many ideas as to what is going on or happened. dont get me wrong, i want the boots too.
as far as the paypal complaint, you can file the complaint but paypal wont intervene to pay back the party that payed at the end of the 45 day mark when a dispute is not resolved in the time frame. the complaint will stand.
if you decide to wait thinking he may still come through, terrific. hell, if he refunded me and others, then said i have the boots a month later, he can send me my pair then i would pay him. i have no problem with that. however i do not fully trust him.
he just needs to man up again.
