Hi all,

In January this yr, I have paid for an item via the classified section here. Long story short the seller can't ship it to me after a few months due to his work commitment. His profile has good feedbacks and he had sold here before.

Is not until early April he had shipped the item but for some reason the item was delivered to the wrong address to what I have given him and according to the tracking it has now been returned back to the seller's return address. I had PM him and ask for a refund of which he agreed as it's been over 4 months and it doesn't sound like the deal is meant to be. The last PM I had from him was end of April of which he agreed to given me a refund or resend the item again.

I have yet heard from him and according to his profile status here, that was when he last logged on.

My question to you all is, what should I do? I publicly disclose his user name here? Get a credit agency to see if I can collect the money from him? I have his home address of which I checked out he seems to be living with his parents.

The amount in question is not small and your advice will be much appreciated!

Cheers

Phil

Apologies forgot to mention method of payment. I paid him via direct bank transfer, seeing he had very good feedbacks here and this community is quite tight I figure it was safe. He seems very genuine as we were still messaging each other months after I had paid. Just very odd he went silent.
