let me know hos this turns out

i want to be sure bitmit escrow settlement isn't retarded

Bitmit banned sbregar97 and gave me the money back.

I was just about to start a dispute. He just tried to scam me out of 1.5btc for a laser. He claimed that he shipped it but didn't get tracking. Yet claimed to have gotten USPS Priority which automatically should come with a tracking number. I'm glad to find out bitmit escrow isn't completely bad.

-edit- this was also after telling me he couldn't sell me it for bitcoins because he was a compulsive gambler and he was scared he would throw it all away gambling. I considered offering different form of payment using an escrow but after 24hrs decided not to and canceled my order and requested my funds back. However the seller was able to decline my refund and then mark the order shipped 24hrs later. It wasn't until a few days after that that he even replied to my message and claimed he shipped it. I am curious as to why bitmit allows the seller to decline a cancellation/refund request and just instantly marked it shipped so it can't be cancelled if the order hasn't progressed anywhere near shipping yet.

I offered to buy this same lazer for his asking price right away and asked him to send first. He got more offended than I thought was normal. This is often a reaction I see in future scammers when I ask them to send first.
