My thoughts are for a 14 day leeway on such matters.  

This should cover most holidays, enforced visits to sick relatives, hospital residencies, house moves, computer explosions, bouts of bubonic plague and other similar excuses explanations that are oft used in such circumstances....

Even if people know they are going on a 2 week break, surely they don't sell parts so close before departure

True, but would also cover illness, enforced absences, last minute getaway deals from Teletext and similar.  Just trying to calculate whats late and whats substantially overdue, if you follow...

I agree, i think you should give it a couple of weeks, this is a standard delivery time with ebay and other sites, in reallity its only been 7 working days, depending on how he has shipped it, you paid on the 20th which was a sunday, i am sure he not run off with yer doh

Royal Mail will not consider a parcel lost for around three weeks! On the holiday front, in the past, I have stupidly listed something, forgetting that we would be away when it finishes ---- however an email explaining usually puts things right ----- this seller could at least explain any undue delays

[trebor]

Thanks people.

I sent an email to his paypal email and got a response saying that  he has had broadband problems and couldn't log into here or paypal.

He asked me for my address again, which I've given.

So hopefully I'll receive the bits soon

[platty]

Sounds like all is above board then (fingers crossed)  

[hotel21]

Please remember to advise me when its received....

I'm still waiting for a PAS pump that Timbuk sent me to arrive.

Been 3 weeks since he posted it  

[trebor]

ok, will do.

Been told he was posting the parts today

Have you contacted him at all?  I would be EXTREMELY surprised if this was anything other than a postage issue....

[Mr Skrunts]

Hmm

Well

Illness
Holiday
Hospital
Urgent called away
Poor internet access

OK I give people the benenfit of doubt

I bought a couple of bits off him and they may have arrived on saturday at my girlfriends but she wasnt in, will be picking up the package in the morning.  if it is from him I will check the posting date.



All so I seem to recall he just bought the Lotus Carlton, so he might be touring europe at the moment.

[Mr Skrunts]

I collected the parcel this morning and sadly it wasnt the parts I had bought from the member in question.

Seems annother paypal refund is in order.

[Mr Skrunts]

Request for refund from Paypal submitted.

Last contact made on 29th April 2008, says he's posted the items.

Still not received as of today.  I think I've allowed plenty of time for even standard parcel delivery.

Have now gone through paypal, but i'm worried as its gone straight to escalation due to "seller not able to respond", i.e. hes taken the money and run

[Debs.]

I`m saddened to read that Trebor; when this kind of thing happens it hurts us all, for what is the world without a bit of trust and good will?

I do hope you get your money back via Paypal and please don`t let the seemingly dishonest actions of this seller spoil your enjoyment of the O.O.F.

It takes the ssip Trebor. There's totally no need for it.
Though there still could be a genuine reason for the delay  :-/ but he could let you know
