Trusted individual so far. I offered him my service FIRST, for 800 EUR, without escrow. Then he paid me in XMR. And this was not the first time. He always sent me more XMR then he should've.
We traded outside XmrBazaar. We made this order afterwards because I think he deserves this review. I usually don't give out reviews unless I had to put my trust in a person and that person didn't fail to deliver.

A friend recommended this merchant to me. Everything went smooth, and there were no "hidden fees". :D
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!

❗ STOLEN FUNDS ❗
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.)

I placed an order for several items with aka_TheAC.
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.

I don't recommend anyone to deal with him unless you don't care about people and you put profit above everything else (in which case you have the opportunity to make a lot I guess).
The tracking link shows that the package was delivered but not picked up and sent back. We agreed upfront I won't have time for issues like these. I argued with him for a week to do the orders in case things like these happened for which I received a 3 star review from him that he does not like me on a social level because of that arguing. This deal already took 3 weeks of part time work from me for the same reason.
I DID NOT REFUSE HIM, but told him I won't have time for now to help him even if he pays me (as he knew upfront), especially that my job was to order the package, not to pick it up for him, which makes it not be my responsibility (he expects a multinational corporation support from my free service anyway). Despite that, I did look into his issue right that day. So I'm shocked to see this review (I haven't logged in here for some time).
-----------------------
THE CONCLUSION: he tries to force my hand to make me work for him outside of our terms or faster than I can afford to, for a problem that should not be my responsibility, ALL WHEN I never refused to work for him AND AFTER I already did work from him FOR FREE.
----------
UPDATE: Now that time have passed and I have more info, I can't prove it but I think it was some competitor who knew I'm in a vulnerable period and tried to do everything he could to get rid of me.

I did a direct payment up front before anything was ordered or received. aka_TheAC seems to be trustworthy. I appreciate that aka_TheAC was persistent in getting the order through and kept track of the details. Low rates.
Not my favorite person to work with on a social level.

Trusted so far. I gave him my card to pay and because of my mistake the card was charged recurrently. The recurring payment for that service is kind of a scam, as he didn't receive the functionality he paid for the first month. Despite that and despite being my mistake, he paid me for the charge anyway. Basically he paid me for nothing. Wasn't a very large amount, but still.
A bit late, but I promised him this review at the time (without him asking) and I now got the opportunity to follow through.
