Yea, I guess he dropped it while he was getting ready to ship it!

I know how much I hate cell-phones so maybe this guy is the same way and just doesnt watch his messages closely enough. Just a thought......

It may be his cell service...sometimes it will take days and days for us to get a message...

It has only been a week. Give the guy a chance.

I'm sure he will make good...he's probably on vacation this time of year...and I can tell you...it's Murphy's Law too when it comes to dropping [censored] and breaking stuff thats been laying around for years...you find someone who actually needs it and BAM...you finally throw it out.

well he got back to me and said he was working long hours,so not to sound like im impatient it wouldnt have been too much to reply instead of letting me hang for a week and a half without a reply? so he says he is sending me my money order back.we shall see if he does.

[x Baldwin Motion]

he was probably trying to repair the manifold. the guy has over 260 satisfied buyers in the last six months. I felt he would come through. A slow refund is still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I think you might have been a little more patient with the seller.I have bought many things off e bay.Some sellers are faster than others.Most do this part time and have regular jobs and are just not able to respond as quickly as some people like.I actually had one guy send me my item after 5 weeks.He had explained he was in the process of moving and said that it may take a more time to get my items shipped.Well i didn't think it would take that long then I just stopped to think how long it would take me to move! It would have probably taken me 3 months to get someone there item! LOL Most people on e bay seem to be honest people just trying to make a little extra cash,some are in it to make a living at it which is cool.Some are there to steal what ever thay can!I have found that most are honest and trustworthy people.Of course I screen them some and if someone has a lot of negative feedback I tend to shy away from those folks.The Theifs,scammers are getting more clever every day but like the old saying goes! If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is not true!I would bet you get your money back from the seller. Let us all know!

A lot of you make good points and many are positive. However, sellers are very quick to demand how fast you must send them a down payment or full payment yet it does not seem to be a two way street. Also and in a lot of cases, it likely takes more time to place the add in the first place then it does to sit down, box it up and ship it and certainly a lot less time then it takes to run to the bank and deposit their check. Lets be realistic, how much time for most items can it take? In todays modern world, there is really very few excuses for NOT answering a phone message or e-mail. There are plenty of times that a quick cell call can me made.

The only point I am trying to make is that to some degree it is still a business and we are still their customers. Treat your customers like you would want to be treated. Keeping buyers happy goes a long ways. I am not a member of ebay but if I were selling something, I would likely have the item ready for shipment when I placed the add. When the check was received and cleared, I would address the box and ship it. No big deal???? Just an opinion so don't start flame throwing.

Ron,
I agree with the others. Lighten up. You are from NJ like I am, and a LOT of NJ people are almost as bad as NY people as far as "Let's go, I want it now, what's the holdup, get out of my way, the next light is in 200ft?"
Ever travel down south and deal with those people? They're the most down to earth honest people, but they just aren't in a hurry! Not everyone is.
I had 2 "deadbeat" buyers to a couple of my recent auctions on ebay. My listing says payment is due within 7 days of close of auction - no exceptions. I let it go over 20 days before I filed an unpaid dispute with both. I now have payment from both with all the excuses. But they DID pay.
If you get your money or your item and you're still upset, don't leave him negative feedback. Just don't leave ANY feedback.
my 2cents

I have a good friend that sold lots of Hot Wheel cars on ebay. He had a massive stroke 18 months ago and is still in bad shape. He had about 15 active auctions going and ended when he had his stroke. It killed his ebay rating, his wife and I did our best to smooth things out and get everything sent to the rightful buyers. He got slammed on feedback as it took weeks and weeks in many cases.
