Title: Got burned by chaletla
Post by: dotgoat on August 18, 2013, 07:09 am
So I ordered from them a couple times and had no issues, just as they were "taking a break" I messaged about placing one last order.  They said that was cool and to send them the money, which I did by sending it directly to chaletla and giving them my address.  Figured if they had a good rating AND I've delt with them before I'd be fine. WRONG

So I'm out the money I sent and I know I've been screwed because the message I sent with my address still shows as unread.  As well as my follow up message asking for status.

Fortunately it wasn't a whole lot but it was still enough of a burn that even when they do come back I'll never deal with them again.

So, lesson learned, even if you've dealt with someone before don't EVER do a transaction outside of the escrow system.  Likewise I'll never FE (finalize early) as you're just as screwed.

also worth mentioning that with a recent SR update you can now see last login of stealth sellers as well and their last login was today.
