Does anyone know werelizard in real life?

Post by reegsk »

Hey all! trying to get ahold of the user werelizard. We were working on a deal about a month back, which I left as a "when this other deal goes through I'll be in touch," and then that deal took over a month. I sent him a message a month back, but he hasn't logged in since before then. If anyone has another way to contact him, I would greatly appreciate it if you could point him back to Bartertown! Thanks!

I've spoken with him. He's had some issues. I'll PM you.
Anyone else having issues contacting him, shoot me a PM.

I was in the middle of purchasing a large batch of models from werelizard when he dropped off the radar. I paid on 4 January. The package was not sent and no contact from werelizard since 22 January.

I understand he had serious real life issues. But it is coming up on three months since I sent payment. I think I've been patient.

I did hear back from werelizard. The transaction is not yet complete. But things are looking up.

I'm a little late on this. But I've dealt with werelizard multiple times in the past. It seems to take an average of 3-4 months to finish a deal. He will get back to you. However it took two Paypal cases until he actually responded with me....

FYI: I was able to complete my transaction with werelizard. Real life stuff delayed it for six months. But everything arrived as originally agreed. I have no hard feelings.

Glad to hear that you got your stuff. The only times I've received items from MR. Lynch is when I had to issue a hold on payments through Paypal. Do not ignore him and keep bombarding him with messages. It's the only way. He also sells on Ebay and has made multiple accounts. His current Ebay name is:
jala_9812.

Be weary my fellow Bartertowners!

Has anyone heard from him in the last week?

I saw this thread after I paid him $285 for a batch of models, he responded immediately until I sent payment and then has dropped off the map since. His post claimed he would send the package in 2 working days, and his last communication with me was Friday the 5th saying he was going to mail the package on Sat.

Wish I had seen this thread first. I don't know what the normal timelines people expect to deal with on this forum since I'm new here, but it's a bummer it looks like I have to harangue the first guy to get the models I paid him for mailed.

Any advice here? He seems to be a long established member of the forum.

The turnaround time from finalizing a deal to the person shipping out is often part of the negotiation, just like werelizard did when he gave a shipping timeframe. What day did you pay him? Did you use PayPal, Venmo, CashApp?

You can also message a Mod. I'd recommend dropping a message to MagickalMemories, and he can also try reaching out. If you have werelizard's email from PayPal, I'd send an email too. If you paid with PayPal Goods and Services (which I recommend always using, unless the other person sent first and you have the product in hand), you will be able to open a dispute and then a claim, but you have a really long time to do so. I would try reaching out to the powers that be on here first, and if even they can't get a response from him by Friday, open a PayPal Dispute. Then PayPal sends him an email and it will freeze any money he has in his account up to the amount you sent him, until you either escalate it to a Claim and PayPal rules one way or the other, or you choose to tell PayPal the dispute has been resolved. I hope it doesn't come to that step, but if someone is avoiding contact and isn't following through with their part of the deal, well, it tends to get a person's attention.

I sent the payment Wed Aug 3rd and he confirmed he received it so the package should have gone out that Friday per his ad. No big deal if it went out late but I just wanted a response.

I was able to get a response last night after pinging him through Cashapp, and then finally requesting a refund through it. He replied promptly after that saying the package was on the way and he’d update tracking today.

Hopefully we’re all squared away.

I don’t mind sending money through whatever is best for the seller (for hobby stuff) since I’d rather people not eat fees etc if they don’t have to. At this point I’ve actually never been scammed doing online trading, and I think most people are honest.

But I don’t have a lot of free time, and I get aggravated when I have to keep this stuff on my radar and spend a lot of energy trying to get people to follow up on things. I definitely don’t want a 6 month transaction like other people in this thread mentioned!

None of this is an emergency or life or death stuff so I’m generally pretty laid back as long as something is happening and I’m in the loop.

I appreciate the feedback, I was trying to get a feel for what normal turnaround is for folks around here. I didn’t want to be an impatient jerk setting off alarms if people just work on a slower timeline on Bartertown.

Anyway, if he gets tracking over to me some time today we’re all good. 👍

Good luck getting anything from a MOD. I sent mods a message 2 weeks ago and heard zero back and PM'd MagickalMemories a week ago and got zero response there.

Well, I am active daily.

MM mentioned long ago that he would be stepping back and that I would be taking over a lot of his responsibilities, so if you are looking for his help, you'll be waiting a long while.

I've reached out to Werelizard in regards to his recent trades, as well as supplied Norgath with an alternative contact. There is little more I can do at the moment, before being forced to create a Bad Apple post and permanently banning him from Bartertown due to his poor trading practices. Obviously I'd rather not have to resort to that and have given him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm hopeful Werelizard will make good on his side asap.
