Now I know that he has had trouble with his house and what not, which was in the later part of April. I said it was no big deal, as long as he kept in touch with me as to whats going on with my package (I sent my a while ago, and he got it). Now Im just waiting for him to ship. I sent about 2 PMs following up, but he has yet to read them.
Does anyone else have this issue with this user, or does anyone know him personally?

Don't know him & don't recall ever dealing with him.
There are a lot of users here I (privately) refer to as "Ghosts," because they have a low profile but manage to get fairly high ratings. Typically, they answer other people's trade posts, rarely ever start their own, and/or don't really take part in the more social forums of BTown.
So, he could be a "Ghost" on here.
As far as naming him goes... it's a bad idea to name someone with such specific. More pessimistic viewers can view that as a cheap way of posting a "warning" about a "potential bad trader" without the burden of proof or officiality.
I'd suggest changing your text to something more simple, like "Has enyone heard from Pyromatics recently? I'm trying to complete a trade with him." The level of detail you're posting, like I said, can be construed as "calling him out."
(NOT insinuating that this is what you are doing).
Hope this helps!

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

I really didnt mean to call anyone out, and I was trying to avoid that, but I guess I really didnt...

I could tell by the "tone" of your post you weren't trying to call him out. That's why I offered the advice. No use in someone seeing it and getting the wrong idea. You know?
Some people absolutely can NOT read the *tone* of a post.
Good luck in getting this resolved!
