A little over a month ago, I made a deal with ML member to do some work for me. We agreed upon $300 for the job. He asked for half up front so I paid him.
He thought the job would only take X long. He ran into a few complications, but came up with a workaround. I approached him and offered to pay more than what we agreed upon. An extra $150 for a total of $450 for the job. He then told me he under quoted, but that's his fault so he will stick with the $300.
He said he was going to complete the job that day (this was about a month ago.) He never showed up online to do the work. So the next day I messaged him and insisted on paying the extra $150 for the job. He again said the $300 was fine and promised a date. The date came and he didn't show again.
So I messaged him the next day asking if I could help in any way with the project. He said no, it will be done tonight. So I said ok. That night also came and went.
I messaged him a couple days later and nothing. HE was online , but ignoring my messages. I message him nicely every 2-3 days for the next 2-3 weeks. I told him I don't need it done today , but I would just like some communication on the project. After about a month, I have given up and I guess I will need to try dispute the charge.
