Thanks all for the responses. I'm not completely new to the forum as I was a member from the old forum. Yes, after sending him two emails, he did refund my credit card rather quickly. He said in the email that he had to order a new one and that it would have taken a few days. All he had to do was send me an email confirmation in the first place telling me what was going on with my order. I was already hesitant ordering from a Japanese business, but after my credit card being charged $478 and not hearing a sinlge feedback regarding my order for 3 days made me a little jittery. Since he refunded my credit card, I have not ruled out doing business with him in the near future. He is a honorable man. Again thanks all for the responses.
