Wow,
I have payed a member on here 205 USD in exchange for 200 Mt.Gox USD. He hasn't sent it yet, but I will try to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he sends my Mt.Gox code.
So for now I will just wait and see what happens later today
you got the right to complain ofcourse
if the timespan is to long is it normal that you take action
but the problem whit the post he made is that he still says that he is scamming when he confirms that he got the bitcoins
if you make this kind of posts then you can say that some1 is scamming but you need to admit it to when the problem is solved (like saying that you canceled the claim because payment was finaly done ? )
problem is to see when it is a scam
does it count as scam if he doesnt send it instand ? (like my vps servers and domain names and hosting ?? its manual progress and takes time)
other problem is to when it keeps a scam or that he tryed to scam until you complain
as example , it happends in my case that it get a bit delayed (more then 24 hours) so the user start to complain and then i finish it as fast as possible (gets a higher prior ) so the user can not complain about a scam anymore because he got what he paid for (with a little delay that no1 likes :s )
so before making a post i would suggest to wait 24 hours , so the users always got time enouf to complete
after 24 hours ( until you got a note it can be delayed more) then you can complain about a scam
if the user sends it after it then it is still not a scam , but then it can go the other way
if you do a claim and doesnt cancel it then you are starting to scam as you still get your money back when you got your items
on the other side , after you made the post and told you wait 24 hours and got nothing , then other users know to that it can take long and that it is harder to trust , but you do not post false information and you can not make a bad name on yourself (you give the users time to react)
hard to explain and kinda complicated , but it all depends how you look on things ofcourse ^^
i wish you good luck and i hope you get the mt.gox USD fast
