Also i ending up paying more then double for the shipping to canada then what was originally talked about.
How much you paid for shipping was YOUR problem, not mine or my friend's since
the quote you gave us was shipped to Canada. I gave you his postal code after you specifically asked for it so you could look it up and find out how much it would cost. We never talked about how much to ship it. I just checked it and it looks like about $45 from your zip to his for a 24 lb package... so you asked for $340... + adding $10 for PayPal after the fact. So, you got $350 US, spent $45 to ship (approx, according to my calcs), and ended up with about $305 (minus PayPal)? Your original asking price was $300 + shipping, was it not? Doesn't sound like you're getting screwed pricewise, to me.
My friend accidentally paid in Canadian currency, yes... he then sent ANOTHER payment in US currency immediately the next day when he found out. He had TWO payments out to you... please don't try to cast aspersions on his end of the deal, he's been more than upstanding with you.
As for replying to PMs, I don't believe you for a second... I don't see how I am getting msgs from my friend asking why you're not replying to emails and PMs... but you aren't getting his PMs? Seems very difficult for me to buy.
Here's the timeline, for those who want to see for themselves:
Wed/30th - deal struck, payment sent (accidentally in Canadian $)
Wed/30th - LAX916 replies that payment was CAD,
then says he needs more money to cover PayPal fees
Thurs/1st - LAX916 12:23AM "i got it striaghted out, give me a call if you have any questions 321 xxx-xxxx. tell him not to worry about the refund we will talk tommorow about what else he owes me i will try to ship out tommorow. my name is cris if you want to call"
Thurs/1st - 2nd payment sent (with added PayPal fees), first payment refund 'pending'
Sun/4th - LAX916 - 05-04-2008, 09:40 PM "the amp is packed it will go out tommorow, i tried to ship sat. but i got to ups too late. ill pm you the tracking info tommorow later"
Then no replies to buyer's PM's or emails for three days until I sent him one on the 7th:
Wed/7th - LAX916 "
his amp shipped already i reaplied to all of his pm's"
UPS TRACKING INFORMATION:

So.... worst case, he told me he would ship it Monday, then told us it was already shipped on Wed, then didn't actually ship it till Friday.
1. A string of untruths
2. Not responding to queries
3. Poor prioritization
4. Asking for more money after payment initially sent
5. Lying about when item was actually shipped
Enough reasons for me.
When the item arrives on the 21st (scheduled delivery), we'll see if it's legit or if it's a box of bricks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
Even if it is legit, like I said... I wouldn't recommend this guy. And now he's coming, trying to put off his mistakes on someone else, refusing to take responsibility... you'd do much better to own up, admit you were full of it, and you didn't do what you said you were going to, it would look much better on you than what you're doing.
Oh well... sad deal.
