You're very welcome, I hope it all works out. My opinion will not add any weight to the case as administrators make their decisions based solely on the evidence available to them and they are well aware of the rules governing out of escrow transactions. They will be able to check both yours and Liston's account and messaging histories to confirm that he did indeed request that you pay him outside of escrow, and that you did send the payment. Please do not go around the escrow system in future; it is there for your protection! Libertas
