Who: Reyne_Hoshi
Where: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/reynehoshi/
What: an adoptable design auction that he placed a $5 bid on (it was design #1)
When: he won the auction on March 6, but he hasn't answered my PMs since then
Proof:
Explain: I held up a double design auction for 24 hours (from March 5-6). For every auction, I usually put a disclaimer that the winning bidder must pay within 2 weeks maximum after the auction ends (giving them time to get money in their PayPal account), but if they don't pay on time, then the auction offer goes to the next highest bidder.
Reyne had place a bid on design #1 with $5 and won. I've sent him a PM with my PayPal address to send $5 to. Days went by, and I hadn't heard anything from him nor did I receive his payment (I've checked my email and PayPal as of today, but nothing yet).
On March 16, I've sent him a polite reminder that he's got 4 more days to pay for the design, but as of today, the message was left read and ignored. I guess I'm out of $5, so at this point, I had to blacklist him from future auction offers and I'll be re-auctioning design #1 very soon.
I advise others to be wary of him when offering auctions.
ETA: Reyne responded to my message tonight with an apology. Screencap here.
Also, I got the adopt re-auctioned on my main account, and hopefully the design would find a new home.
ETA 2: A year after the incident, and on Reyne's promise to pay promptly as asked, I've now removed him from the blacklist and would consider this resolved.

Proof:
- The design auction image in question (these were done with Techtile's pay-to-use base)
- His bid comment
- My PM to him for the $5 payment
- The payment reminder

1) do you know if he's read the notes or not? FA allows you to see if they're read or unread.
2) has he been active on FA otherwise?
I can't pull any specific examples right now but these posts have come up in the past. I recall at least one instance of someone who would put bids in on multiple auctions but then back out claiming that they had an emergency come up (and then immediately buy more art stuff).
I'd say they belong here.
