was there not an agreed upon approval period?
I dislike long distance trades. Went thru one a few years ago that took
two months to get delivery. All I got was a bunch of excuses by the other party to explain why he hadn't shipped even though I shipped on the agreed upon day. I found out everything about him on line...address, employer, church, etc, That was a $3000 deal and I was so pissed I was considering going to NC where he lived and setting him straight. Instead, I told him I was reporting him to the FBI Internet Fraud Division. Then just like that, he shipped. Since then it's face to face or sell/purchase outright with protected funds transaction.

I suspect that it's because he's been banned....
He never chimed in before he elected to be banned rather than make things right. That says everything we need to know.
Well, bummer it happened at all, but kudos to TB for handing it as best they could. Seems pretty cut and dry by the way he chose to handle any conflict. Just means he'll probably go do it elsewhere instead
