Description
⛔️ UPDATE 2026-11-01: I realized I won't be able to provide this service anyway for new people (for risky payments at least), as very likely it will be used "by someone specific" to do malicious ones that will close all my bank accounts or worse.
UPDATE 2026-10-26 in regards to my listing warning which IT IS NOT 0.1% TRUE but it seems truth is not something that matters on XmrBazaar. Everyone is free to judge for themselves: https://xmrbazaar.com/forum/topic/51/page/36/#2334
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1️⃣ RISK: You assume the responsibility the website/seller you buy from is giving you a good product, has it in stock, picking it up, delays, etc. So please do your due-diligence first.
2️⃣ REFUNDS: If you MUST get a refund from the seller/store you bought from, even if it costs me extra time I will refund you ONLY IF I ACTUALLY GET THAT REFUND REGISTERED BACK TO MY ACCOUNT. If it gets complicated like lost/delayed in transit or if the bank I use gets closed in the meanwhile and makes it a mess to sort this out, PLEASE don't expect me to support extra costs and time to solve your problem (especially fast, and especially if it was caused by your lack of due-diligence); and PLEASE don't expect me to refund you from my own pocket. Again, it is ONLY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make a good purchase, NOT MINE. I do take enough risk doing these payments; costs me a lot of time as well; that's too much already for providing this free service.

This person can be trusted.
Not sure what problem cypherpink had, but AFAIK they resolved it. They're also direct competitors, so the conflict of interest is obvious here.
cheers!
TL;DR: I paid TheAC $855 for a purchase. Payment failed & money returned to his account. He said he won't refund me unless I paid him extra, because “it's not his responsibility”. Having coped with the barrage of insults & pressure from him, a month and a half later, I managed to convince him to refund at least $655 — he kept $200 as a "fee". The admin has confirmed the $200 hold was not legitimate and added a warning to TheAC's listing. Multiple Top Sellers have also spoken out in my support.
** FULL STORY
(I have all the screenshots & proofs to support it.)
I used TheAC's proxy paying service to buy something on Vinted. I paid him in crypto, and he paid €767.19 (~$855) in fiat. The payment went through a bank account registered in another person's name, which I was not told about upfront. I contacted the Vinted seller in advance, asking if the product is available, and he confirmed; but still didn't ship in time, so order was cancelled, and Vinted refunded the money.
Then TheAC claimed that the bank account got closed. He said he had recovered around $4,000 from it, but my money "probably" wasn't among it. I obtained an official confirmation from Vinted that the €767.19 was successfully refunded to his account. He dismissed it and insisted on waiting for bank statements, which a third person had to collect in person. That turned into 1.5 months of "not yet".
In his words, getting my own money back was my problem, not his: “you say refunds are my responsability but I think it's not”, “It's your fault you paid for a product it was not available” and “is not my fucking fault” are direct citations. He also has claimed refunding this will cost extra, since he “doesn't work for free”.
He also made it clear he only bothered with the statements because he needed them himself: “you're lucky I don't need these statements for you only... :))”, “otherwise there would not be any way in the world I would've paid for these”.
When I said I might raise the issue on XmrBazaar, he threatened me: “If you gonna do any sort of harm to me, you won't see any assitence from me to get this back, no statements, no notihng! so be careful what you're doing next, and what you are saying”. Also: “I won't release it without the fee even if I get banned from XmrBazaar”, and “if it escalets, I will increase the fee for the trouble you make me”.
There were also lots of harsh insults and mockery: “after all the time and money I had to spend becauseo of your shit”, “your attitude is discusting.”, “if you just stop being a bich about a mistake you made”, “I just feel you can't wait to get this money and then fuck off with me”, “Let's see if you really are this chirstian type whatever you portray yourself”, “I do not have time for this shit anymore”, and much more.
Now, coming to the "fee". He announced: “I won't release it without a 200$ fee for the money I had to pay and for the time I had to waste”. (He said himself he'd never have paid for the statements if he didn't need them for his own purposes — I don't see how I am responsible for paying for them now).
After 1.5 months of delays, threats and insults, I've agreed on the 200$ fee solely to secure at least part of my money. I told him that if this went public, I would demand the full amount. His answer: “You can escalate anywhere you want”.
So, he then sent $655 instead of $855. (As in @Sammy's case, he claimed he paid it “from his own pocket”.) Now, to be transparent: we also have had an agreement, that if the bank statements show the refund never reached his account, I will help him recover these 655$ I've received. I stand by that promise.
⚠️ UPDATE: despite numerous publicly given promises to provide a refund the rest when he would confirm receiving the money back — once he did, he publicly refused to issue a refund. Then claimed again he will refund, proposing to chat directly, and said again in direct messages he won't actually refund. While in @Sammy's case this seller has openly claimed he will try to disrupt the delivery of his goods "in revenge" for opening a dispute (see this on the forum in "scam reports" thread.)
Most items arrived. 3 did not.
I received refunds for 2 of the items that did not arrive. He says that he paid for one of the items (at a value of $15) out of his own pocket because of some issue with getting the company to refund him. He was not able to prove he was the owner of the card used in the purchase.
1 item valued at $55 did not arrive.
aka_TheAC found the tracking records and sent me the link. It showed that the product was never delivered and returned. TheAC refused to take the time to resolve this last issue and take responsibility for his end of things. I lost $55.
He seems to be under a lot of stress as a significant part of his messages contain complains about not having enough time. He is not professional in this way.
He also says he has health problems, seems under slept and undernourished based on what he writes.
The tracking link shows that the package was delivered but not picked up and sent back. I told him I don't have the time for now to help him even if he pays me, especially that this should not be my responsibility (by the way he expects a multinational corporation support from my free service). But I did look into his issue anyway. I'm shocked to see this review (I haven't logged in here for some time).
He makes assumptions for why I had to pay one of it's refunds from my own pocket (I paid him more than what he paid me for both refunds by the way)
And in the end not having much time or having health issues is another reason to deserve a 1 start review I guess (otherwise why he would mention it?).
THE CONCLUSION: he tries to harm me to make me work for him for a problem that should not be my responsibility and when I never refused to work for him (I only told him I can't right now even if he would pay, but I did look into things anyway for him FOR FREE).
Not my favorite person to work with on a social level.
