      If you really wanted to get paid, and you had that many different options to get a hold of someone, don't you think you would have simply made the effort to be paid? I mean really? In the end, I told him I did not want his code but would pay him anyway to get him to piss off. That also was posted publicly. He never made an effort. This has probably gone 3, 4, 5 rounds now. I have repeatedly, and publicly, offered to pay him.

      On your other points, I agree with you completely. You're right.

        guy does work for you and you threatening him for not providing you with an invoice for lousy $150? i remember thread where u were fucking laughing at designers who demand prepay although I'm sure you would never (maybe with few exceptions) deliver before collecting. this is some fucked up contradicting twisted shit right here.

          It doesn't make a shit what you or me think it's about - this is the only fact that you need to focus on.

          "Paying him, makes this all go away"

          If you paid him, posted the proof of that - everyone would be hamming him instead of you, but because you didn't - it's here, now... it's very very very simple logic.


          I would swallow my pride here and pay up, speaking from personal experience.

              Some business owners do not pay an invoice if there is no invoice to pay. It's plain and simple record keeping. No invoice, no pay. Pretty simple, IMO.

                A quote from another forum where he admits that I should send him an invoice; that's great and all but he has me blocked from all forms of messenger and refuses to provide an e-mail address to send the invoice.

                  Exactly.

                  It's because people do not get you the invoices once you pay them. I have had this issue with many over the years, which is why I now do it this way to make sure I get my docs for taxes.

                  That said, this guy could have contacted me any number of ways to be paid. I have yet to receive any EMAIL/IM/PM/PHONE CALL from him. Hell, he could have posted it ON THE FORUM and it would have been paid immediately.

                    an easy solution would of been to send paypal.. Win Win for everybody.

                    coder gets paid.. barefootsies gets invoice from paypal...

                    But no, that would of been far less entertaining.

                      Agreed....I tend not to pay without an invoice, I have no issues forcing people to send me an invoice. I do sometimes make acceptations... like one guy couldn't email me, tried from several accounts - so I just paid him.

                      Now, if someone took something like this to the boards, being that I own my own company, I can bend the rules to end the situation when I know who to pay.

                      This is round two of the issue... it could have been solved on round one.

                      End of the day... I can print the job emails as my invoice and hand write who I paid on it, that's still a legal invoice.

                        Oh yeah?

                        Nor could he send it to my company's email, or the email he was literally blowing up for a week and a half, nor did he PM me through IQ69's mail system, nor has he provided an invoice on the forum or a way to pay him.

                        I guess all those were blocked also.

                          He has to provide me his PP. Which he could have done easily enough.

                          It was repeatedly asked for along with invoice, publicly on forum!

                            And you could have just paid him.... it goes both ways.

                            You could pay him right now and end this thread.... but it's going to continue on for several pages I would guess for several days - simply because you won't pay him.

                              I am unable to locate the e-mail you sent me. Whoa is me, I use multiple computers and sometimes it happens.

                              You first stopped responding to all IM messages, then you seem to have blocked me 100%.

                              PM, yes I guess I could have. What should I have said to you?

                              You called me from an anonymous #, not sure how to call you back.

                              Here is your invoice, zkonsult. com/footsies.pdf - You will have to recreate the URL since I do not have 30 posts yet.
