This is appalling, even the "i'm sorry, here's your stuff" messages are filled with what clearly seems to be BS.
This fella needs properly dealing with. Everyone involved here should file cases against him, he keeps doing it and he WILL upset more people in the future by doing it again.
Just Pm'ed him an ultimatum that if I do not get a tracking number within 24 hours, then I will file for mail fraud. I have the document filled out right now with all the information, I just have to send it in.
Well, to post some good news here, I just received a delivery from him, and it contained the correct figure. I'm glad for that, and for the fact that it wasn't literally coated in urine. Or something.
He got me, when everyone gave him negative feedback I contacted him giving him the benefit of the doubt. He said he would send the package out to me, which he did with shipping. Instead of sending me the SR Cable he was supposed to, he sent me back 2 of the figures I traded to him (Shang-Chi and Shade the Changing Man) but never sent me back the Sayd I sent to him included in his trade.
I got delivery today of a box from Mark Watson of Granada Hills, California-- same address I shipped to and everything-- containing the New Mutants Team Base, Magma, Cannonball, Wolfsbane, King Hyperion, Black Witch, and the cards for everyone but Black Witch. He also neglected to include the micro-map that came with the team base, which I had shipped to him as part of the original deal. Further, he sorta just crammed them all in a box with some peanuts, whereas I had shipped them in single-figure blisters or the original Super Booster packaging, as applicable.
To recap:

He messaged me back after my last, saying he didn't have the $60 for overnight shipping. I responded last night, as below:

Dear Mark,
I can empathize with that issue, but the time for shipping was not yesterday. The time for shipping was, at the latest, July 1st, as you had said you would be shipping when you messaged me on June 30th, in response to my message to you after a very reasonable interval of no communication following my shipping the figures to you initially.
What happened, Mark? Why all this rigamarole? As I and the others who are working with me on this issue have discovered, this is your third time on HCRealms following the same pattern. You create an account, build a respectable iTrader rating, people like you and trust you. Then you get a bunch of people to ship figures to you, people get tired of waiting and ask you where their figures are, you dodge for a week or two. Then we get mad, raise a stink on the boards and you end up shipping the figs all back. All you're left with is a hefty shipping bill and documented validation for your feeling that everyone hates you. You clearly know iTrader etiquette and how to complete trades successfully. It is hard to see your behavior as anything but deliberate theft when you not only break that etiquette and fail to complete trades, but take weeks of drawn-out drama to do so.
To be perfectly blunt, this does not seem like healthy behavior. Do you suffer from mental illness? Are you seeking treatment for it, if so? I can empathize with your pain, but that does not excuse your actions. I neither expect nor require any explanation from you, but I hope you will take this opportunity to reach out and seek help to break a very troubling pattern.
The San Fernando Mental Health Center is an outpatient facility in your area which accepts walk-ins from 8AM to 6:30PM Mondays through Fridays. Please, talk to someone there and they can help you get the assistance you need to overcome the problems you face.
Your fellow Heroclix fan,
Rob Wilson.
Sorry for using the word "behavior" so many times. Points off my exam for repetitive word choice.
At this point I'm going to leave Mark Watson negative feedback on the Realms under his Rising Against username (still pissed that he co-opted the name of one of my favorite bands), cut my losses, and call it a day. I will, however, leave my notes in this thread for anyone who wishes to pick up where I'm leaving off. You've all got my email if you need me.
Just received a package from Mark with all my figures. What do you know skippy actually returned what he stole.
Also Bobcat2022 your officially my hero for both: politely telling him off, and providing him with convenient mental health information. Three cheers for Scammer-Bane!

I today received my gallius zed and mallet back and cards. i am still unsure as to why it all had to come to this to get our stuff back but it does appear hes trying to fix things.
