I just bought something on Ebay and I pay with money orders.I told the seller I was sending payment on Monday.Well,I forgot the banks and post office were closed for Columbus Day.Tuesday I had to leave real early in the am and work nowhere near a bank or post office.I had to haul butt to get off the mountain and hit my bank,then p.o. before they closed so it wouldn`t get into another day,which would have been the same situation.
I think we need a little more patience here in this push button world.The buying end is instantanious,but the selling end still requires good old foot work.Not everyone gets on the computer as part of their daily habits,even if they`re selling.So,a message may not always be returned proptly either.I`m not making excuses,because I feel a lack of communication is the problem here.And,better communication could have avoided alot of worry.

I am a member on other forums with 2500+ post on them. i do a tun of buying/selling on all of them. I understand how everything works. But, when homeboy here tells me my **** is "supposed" to be here the next day and wont answer my PM's or give me a tracking number **** hits the fan. I don't care if it takes someone a year to ship my item as long as they keep me updated. I have a busy schedule and I am sure 99% of the other people on here do aswell. I am a very understanding guy, but, when you try and tell me you shipped something and i get the package and the date that it says that it was shipped on was a week later I am not going to be too cool with you.
Thanks for you trying to help, but, I don't believe your post helped anything.

The only things that I got were the tanks, gauges, and air line. which he said were shipped and he lost the tracking number, blah blah but weren't shipped until a week after he had told me that.

If i lived close to him I would go pick up everyones parts and send them out on my own dime. This is completely uncalled for.
If anyone hears from him or gets anything that they purchased, post up. If you haven't I would file a claim with paypal if you paid using that. As soon as you file it end communication with the seller so you wont have to deal with waiting the 20 days for him to reply saying that he shipped it a month ago.
