John Tonello AKA "Johnny the Kid" - doesn't reply my messages
The person I'm citing here is a very active member (4k+ posts) of the forum but as I have tried contacting him through private messages, e-mail and PayPal, and still he's deliberately chosen to ignore me for over a month, I have no option other than opening this up. His name is John Tonello, and this is his profile: Johnny the Kid.
Story
He replied on a thread I opened by the 8th of May, saying he had a pair of SD Blackouts up for grabs. I contacted him and sent the payment ($85 USD) for his pickups via PayPal on the very same day. By the 17th of May I asked for the tracking number and his reply was:
I know **** can happen, so I waited, of course. On the 25th of May (almost 20 days after my purchase) he said he would send them on the next day, and that was his last message. I've been trying to get in touch with him ever since, and he does not reply my messages, although you can clearly see he's active in the forums.
I've just escalated my dispute to PayPal because, guess what, he didn't reply me on the dispute as well.
I may not be very active in the community but I'm really well-reputed on the trades section over here as well as on many other forums. I'm not trying to trash his reputation, all I want is either my money back or the pickups sent - and actually I'd prefer the latter, as he said he's not doing well financially.
Best,
J.

Hey, I'm really sorry. Work hasn't scheduled me until Monday, so money is a bit tight. Tuesday morning I'll send the pickups out. I'm really sorry. It's just been rough with finals and all that.

It'll be within the next week. I finished finals last week and my schedule for work hasn't switched over for the summer to give me more hours, so I've been kind of broke the last few days. My girlfriend and I have been living off her paycheck this past week. I feel so bad about this honestly.
