I must admit that I'm shocked he actually spoke to someone when so many have struggled to get in contact with him recently, including SaleHoo staff themselves. Then again I'm assuming you were not one that didn't receive what you ordered and you weren't trying to get your money back, that might explain that issue.
Putting that aside, if he had nothing to hide and wanted to defend himself by explaining the situation, he had a pretty good platform to do that right here, the place where most of the members were effected. I mean it's not like we didn't have anyone interested in hearing what he had to say after all, yet for an innocent man he made the rather strange decision to not only ignore his duties as Community Manager, he chose to hide from those seeking the answers he claims to now have!
As for no charges being filed, I'm personally aware of several members that have filed with their GA departments, so that should only be a matter of time at this stage.
Ebay seems to think he is ok?
Perhaps you should rethink that statement altogether, ebay, nor the half dozen ebay members he has recently ripped off through his newly named swimwear and more account (the old productsplus1976) don't seem agree!
Like I said, you want to defend the guy, that's your choice. There was a time when he also had my respect, along with many others here, but that went up in smoke the moment he started ignoring customers, keeping their cash and never sending them a damn thing they paid for!
That's not how you run a legit business, no matter what personal drama is going on in your life. He left his treasured ebay account in good hands, making sure someone was taking care of that, but he didn't give damn about the members here, the ones that trusted him with their money!
