Purchased the controller board and ATO reservoir from this guy Thursday, 8-3-23, and have been waiting for shipment. I get it, these are large pieces being shipped so I try not to pester the seller and give him ample amount of time to get these shipped.

Waited till Wednesday, 8-9-23, to ask about the shipping situation and supposedly it was shipped out the previous day and was going to provide tracking he had on his receipt in the car, no problem. Gave him a few days to provide tracking number and now we're here without tracking still..

Reached out to him to provide tracking today and was ignored. I can see his activity on the forum so I know he saw my PMs. Did some research on the forum and looks like he's a known flipper and that's fine, make your money, but don't play with mine.

Filed a Paypal dispute cause I'm tired of this game he's putting on.. Buyers beware.

Finally got some responses today only because I filed a dispute with PayPal and left a negative review on R2R.

Seller has been very dishonest throughout the whole process. Claimed to have shipped it on 8-8-23 with tracking that he never provided and now he's saying he had issues with the shipment and that the packages were returned.

Requested for a refund since I'm fed up with all of this and seller agreed to refund, but of course, no refund yet. He's still posting on the R2R so I know he saw my messages. Seller has been very difficult to work with. Anyone thinking about purchasing from this guy, be careful. Maybe local only but if you're considering getting something shipped from this guy, expect issues.

Guess I'll wait for PayPal to settle the dispute. Ridiculous...

I bought a Reef wave from him and it arrived internally jammed up like the magnet is swollen or broken or something. I can't even get it apart to fix it. He won't respond to me either so I just opened a Paypal case against him. Really sucks that he's just ignoring DMs and being dishonest.
