    Has he been online since your last PM? If so, you're probably scammed.

    I think you should wait before saying his name too.
    People go to sleep sometimes.

    You should not give the template before you sell it. The demo is enough.

    Yeah it looks like you have been scammed then mate. as a rule of thumb, no matter what your selling. never hand it over before you receive payment.

    Something you shouldn't do in the future. I hope you learned from your mistake.

    You can leave a negative itrader.. that's what this system is for. The MOD's can't really do anything about it (ex: ban). Take it as a lesson learnt.. :) (files after payment) be careful next time.

    Leave him a negative iTrader,
    and let us know the name of the member as well (if you want).

    The member was me. I did not get the files, and I work a full time job so his PMs today did not get a reply until tonight. I have decent itrader and a member for close to two years, would not scam a guy over $20 bucks.

    He did not have working demo and said he would send it to try (I did not ask for it).

    Time frame this was going on last night.

    Well in any case you should wait for an answer. People are busy and you sent the vbulletin template to try. If he doesn't like it and doesn't use it then it is fine as he hasn't agreed to buy.
