Having had previous experience with this member, i say do your transaction in person. I currently have a judgement from paypal in my favor and can supply proof of James' shady business dealing. He took off with $48 of my money and didn't supply the vinyl he was supposed to deliver. I am willing to share my experience with anyone who's interested.
i'm calling your bluff.
2 post and both claiming to be the victim. i dont know whats worst, kids trying to get their post count up, or snipers getting on here to bad mouth members.
My only having a few posts and all related to this guy are because when you do a search for taintedpaintworks in google this site is the first link that comes up. I don't live in FL, I don't have an ATV, and I only registered to warn other people about his business practices.
He was supplying stickers for s-series.org, I had an order for some 6" and 12" stickers which he was supplying free of charge in order to be the 'site sponsored vinyl guy'. He was a long standing member (Moneyclip was his name), moderator, and I had worked with him on a few things in the past and we had no problems. I was paying for the big 36" stickers and he was charging me $12 a piece for them. I got 4 orders, sent them off to him and he disappeared. Waited a good month with no contact, reported him to paypal and they eventually ruled in my favor, but he had already withdrawn all the money from the account and they couldn't recover anything from him.

Buyer's Comments:
I sent funds to James to order 2 36" windshield banners for two of my forum members. He had said they were sent, but it's been a month and no package has been recieved by either person. I have tried to contact him directly, but there is no response. As a resolution, I am looking for either my orders to be shipped (there are 4 total) or my money back. Thank You.
