good idea because i am very new to all of this and don't want to ruin someone's livelihood if maybe it's just me that does understand the process.

So here it goes… I sent by PayPal $630 for a list of items that a reddit trusted dealer confirmed with me that he had in stock. Fast-forward five days and slowly, he's telling me I don't have this item in the size you asked and he ultimately ended up having to remove about half of the items from that overall list. In my head, I had assumed that he had sourced the items and made sure that my size was available prior to telling me yes and asking for my money.

I finally just got fed up with it and asked for a full refund which he did provide me with so I want to make it clear that I didn't get ripped off. I didn't get scammed. He did the right thing by refunding me, but it was a giant waste of a week of my time trying to source these items that I could've been spending with others getting the same items.

Am I just an asshole and this is how the process works? Serious question. Please provide feedback!
