Just got a E-mail from him that states "I shipped them yesterday" I will have a tracking # "later today"

Translation: He saw this thread and is now scrambling to get it shipped this afternoon.

You make contact 1 1/2 weeks ago via Email with a promise the items would be shipped that day but still no tracking # or parts. 2 days ago I try to contact again via phone message, PM from OSO, and Email with no response. I see this member has been on here since messaging him from his profile but still no response. I did make a much larger purchase from him 2 months ago and received those items within 10 days.

Brian I'd say it's been enough time. My view is he sure had time to cash the check so he must certainly have time to ship it. It shouldn't take a thread like this to get someone to send you something you paid for.

Hopefully now you're parts will be as described. The little bit I've bought in the swap shop have been better than, and shipped quick being I'm also a dinosaur with a check book. Good luck!

If someone is willing to send me monies before I ship them the part or they come to pick it up, I do everything I can to accommodate, that means shipping right away. Almost a month? I'd give him 24 hours after that email was sent, one last chance.

He is ruining it for the rest of us too. I took a big leap of faith last year on drives and such, ended up working out, but it was a toss up at the time. I also received payment for parts sight unseen, and I made sure I was available whenever was convenient for the buyer to get them parts, that means staying in touch. Poor etiquette at the least.

I say get the parts and then out him anyway name and contact information. ... people like that need to be tea baged by as many people as possible. ..... even if u get the parts u shouldnt have to wait. This is what makes me hesitate to buy parts on here

I'd take care of OSO member before I paid my gas bill, my rep is more important to me then anything, especially amongst my peers who are always helping, taking a chance and trusting me, Ive sold on here before,, shipped within a hour of payment, I've bought on here and received the same, I'm not saying someone didn't forget or worked or had life get in the way, but a call upon payment received and every step in between is how i work, the nerves go both ways and I hate the them..

There always can be valid reasons why someone may not be able to ship immediately, stuff happens, but if you can't ship and you've taken the money, you have an obligation to communicate to the buyer why and give a reasonable ETA of when you will. Like I said earlier, times up. Now, I'd wait for your tracking number and parts and make a decision. No tracking number today = no more time...

As I've always said... when someone shows you who they are... believe them...
