When in doubt, verify with Blockchain.info or BlockExplorer.com
The blockchain never lies.

Which is how you can tell that I have been paid all the bitcoins: https://people.xiph.org/~greg/21mbtc.png

The blockchain itself doesn't lie, but websites with blockchain in their name aren't the blockchain. They're websites and they can lie and have lied in the past.

Seriously, depending on some centralized services is not a good idea. Every Bitcoin client itself has an independent view of the blockchain. Does the transaction in question have a bunch of confirmations (e.g. on the order of 6 per hour since you made it)? if so — it's settled. If the far end says they don't see it then something is broken there or you paid the wrong address, or they're scamming you.

The payment shows on the blockchain. What is the person using though? An online wallet or something?

And how can we guess that? He have the coins if he own that address, he is laying if he insists he have not received the coins.

Why don't you just look up the tx id at blockchain.info AND blockexplorer.com?
If it shows up on both sites, that guy is lying to you.
Kind of reminds me of nckrazze and the 400 BTC he said weren't on his wallet Roll Eyes

We both have screenshots of his client with his bitcoin address and my blockchain wallet transaction to that payment address any ideas?

The blockchain never lies.

Except when a 51% attack would be at the work.

Even then it wouldn't. The longest chain is, for all intents and purposes, correct, even if part of it has been changed by an attacker.

Bitcoin

Says it hasn't shown up and its been 2 weeks! what could have gone wrong?

Only thing I can think of is his blockchain hasn't caught up in his client?
