On an exchange of currency, both are buyer and seller. None can considerer himself the sole seller. The rule has to be, trust only member with solid reputation. In case of any doubt, ask the address of the other party and check on blockchain.info or www.cryptocoinexplorer.com if the other party has the amounts he is claiming and send small tranches, waiting each time for his payment. Or use an escrow system, like the one used by bitmit.net

Search for the ripple address to where the XRPs were send on the forum and on Google, you might find the nick of the user on the giveaway thread or other place. To get a new ripple address you need to open another account and he might have been too lazy to do that. If you find nothing, check if the money is still on his account, by entering his address at https://ripple.com/graph/. If the money was sent to another account, try to search that one (but he could have sell them to an innocent person). If you find the username, try to get him a scammer tag and to get his email and IP from the mods and google the email and nickname, you might end up finding his social network account and private information or another email linked to the previous one that leads to the social account. Then, use your imagination: write him and say if he doesn't give back the XRPs you will email his family and friends about what he done; complain to any available authority with evidence, etc..

20 LTC, but I'm ready to pay more than this.

This guy already has an accusation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192971.0But you should paste here the message you sent him with the code. It's not decisive evidence, but since he isn't denying the accusation or showing evidence of the bitcoin transfer, it's half way.

Sorry for that. Codes are a problem, you can't send them in tranches. You have to use a escrow, like bitmit.net. Now I know why the Op never replied to me, he knew he would have to send first.

For the sake of our aspirations about our fellow human beings, lets hope he is not a subdit of her British majesty, as the flag in his avatar suggest, but a resident of a small and poor country, where that amount can pay the expenses of all his family for a week.

Don't wait standing for his XRPs transfer, have at least a chair

By the way, you are taking a big risk buying XRPs at those rates. XRP was once at 10,000 XRPs per 1 btc and then dropped to 140,000 XRPs per 1 btc. Now, it breached the resistance at 10,000 XRPs and no one knows how high it can go. But once it starts dropping, it will drop back to 20,000 XRPs very fast. And won't stop there.

Being hero means nothing, anyone can make 500 posts. Look for someone with a big reputation. Or tell the seller to use bitmit.net in order for you to pay using their escrow system.

It would help if you posted a minimum price you are willing to accept for each bitbar.

Never, ever, send all the amount to members without proper reputation. Always send small tranches, especial the first one. Ask for his address and check at http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ or blockchain.info if he has the amounts he is claiming.
