Contary to my message above about receiving a refund, it never materialised. Then he said Paypal had messed up and that he was waiting for the money back from them and was too skint to pay me back in the meantime. Since heard nothing despite constant emails to his personal account - and I know he checks them on an i-phone.
Feel pretty stupid for defending this guy. Anyone got a number for him?
HHHEEEEEEEE HHHHHEEEEE HEEEEEYYYYY, you are not going to believe this, but after many many emails, of which many were ignored, I have actually received my refund!!!!!!
