Exchange gone bad. Administrators or Member?

[aerotruk63]

I made a trade with a member East Coast. In exchange for two shop manuals shipped to him, he was to pay for my subscription to this site. He sent a PM saying he had contacted one of the administrators and that all was set in stone. No subscription so far. I've tried to contact the administration, no response.
Maybe not the best way to pay for subscription, just thought of fees occurring for multiple money exchanges. I'm off work recouping from a triple bypass and consider this site as part of my therapy. Great for moral.
