His deadline was passed a year ago so Paypal only works six months. They will have zero involvement from here onward.

I will advise people not to take a relaxed approach if the sum of money is quite a bit. Once is passed the credit card limit period, you will not be able to get any funds back.

Whether this retailer is going to be like a PC or not is not of concern. I used to think PC was great, and I was proven wrong. What is important though, is that YOUR circumstances as a customer that you currently experiencing may differ from others. Do not let others influence your current issue to just sit back if there is a real issue, as stated, once the time limit has passed, there is nothing you can do.

I also like to add Fantoys are known for bad Time releases so it can be out of a retailer's control in regards to Fantoys items. However if the toy is released and the retailer is failing to provide, then you got an issue.
I avoid ordering any 3P figures due to this uncertainty and only order when I know the 3p company is able to provide.
