Say hello to Tom for me....

Cheers

John

Wasn't Tom. Even still, avoiding any names out of respect and this could all just be life taking place and be nothing at all. I've just never experienced something to this effect where I may have to go back and get a refund,etc.. So I'm not exactly sure what a good grace period is?

Good ... (that it's not the aforementioned).... I do have another name in mind...

But Mum's the word...

Good luck with the deal, hope it works out just fine..

Hi,

Do you have a telephone number for him, or do you know anyone who knows him personally that could let you know if everything is ok with him (healthwise)?

I think If I were you, I'd allow him a few more days before opening a case with PayPal.

I hope it all works out for you.

Got in touch with someone who knows him. Told them the story before I gave the name. When they asked for the name and I gave it what I got was " OH NO! " Then I was strongly advised to get in touch with Paypal.

Shortly after this - and before calling Paypal I did hear from the seller. Said he was in the hospital. Now I've heard he gives numerous excuses, I'm gonna hope this isn't one and give it until Monday as he asked. But if by Monday night I have no tracking number, Paypal here I come. I'll keep some faith that sh!t happened that was clearly beyond his control. We'll see.

It is always best to wait as long as possible and give the benefit of the doubt. There was an extremely well known seller here who went MIA. Turns out he had all kinds of personal issues and if I recall correctly - indeed landed in the hospital.

We see warnings with names given - and I completely support that practice so as to keep it from happening over and over within our community. I always use the transaction feature on PP so there is some recourse there to use. The fee for it is nothing compared to if there was no protection.

Positive feedbacks are great too!

Glad things will work out.

Time limit on filing a claim. Was 30 days don't know now.

So I heard back today. This was the message I received -

" Hello Jason,

This is Sharon, ( remaining nameless's ) friend and he asked me to tell you he is back in the hospital today and if need be, cancel the payment and he will send you the parts for free when he gets out. He's so sorry for all of the delays. If you need anything else text me back here on his phone. "

I tend to think that life just happened here and that I wasn't getting " conned " or whatever you wanna call it. I'll get in touch with Paypal tomorrow and in a few days I'll see how the guy is doing. And at least I have word from the seller saying cancel payment, this should make the cancellation easier and quicker. Hope the guy is ok though, never like to hear that people gotta go to the hospital.
