we should all start emailing him saying we want to use his service and then when he responds to us we can say that we heard he's not good to do business with because he's a cheat and steals deposits.

Hello Ann,
I cannot find that I have previous emails from you. Please let me know what situation you are writing about and I will do my best to rectify things.
The only type of work I require a deposit for is custom calligraphed marriage certificates. All other work I accept payment only after everything is complete. I take the honor system seriously and send my work all over the world without payment in advance.
Communications via email can be tricky, so please let me know what is going on so that I can be sure I have been getting the messages.
Please email me with your reply. If you do not hear back from me within 48 hours, you may call me on my cell phone: 352-514-3838, Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
Best Regards,
Stewart J. Thomas | |

i have a record of that from paypal *Jan 10th, 2008*and i have EVERY email between the 2 of us | was your paypal payment using a credit card? or was it a direct withdrawl from a bank acct?
if you paid using a credit card you can call your cc company and explain the situation - I'm not sure how it works in conjunction with paypal, but I think in most cases the cc company will go to bat for you and retrieve the disputed funds..
(and I bet you'll hear from him pretty quick then!)
