just wondering when you guys buy something off someone else on the classifieds wouldn't you expect the seller to ship it out with in 2-4 days? Its day 7, 2 emails later with no response, the person I bought the item from was last seen on here 2 days ago. I feel like a jerk for filing a claim but I already got scammed when I first came in to the scene on a punishment racing o2 dump, seller asked to gift it and I did ROFL, learned that mistake fast.

owell, theres my vent. If I could help any of you guys out with used parts I know I would have it boxed and waiting for payment/shipped same day.
 
Your response is normal. If they didn't fail at communicating you would not be so upset. Protect yourself and follow your dispute policies closely so that you're protected. He may be busy, but that is no excuse to make yourself vulnerable or to not send parts you may have paid for.

I hope this all works out.

Cheers
 
I can't answer the question since both options you gave me make you sound to be in the wrong.

Anyway...

7 days and no email sounds like you just got screwed.
 
Unless there were extenuating circumstances.. I PM/Text the tracking number within 2 business days.

Even then I shoot a message saying what the hold up was.
 
Agreed. That sounds like you got ripped. File a claim and see what he says. . .
 
Took a member a few weeks to send a part out for me. But he did email me about once a week.
I would assume you got ripped. File a claim before it's too late.

Ha, I ordered from a vendor on here exactly 14 days ago and haven't gotten anything stating it shipped or a tracking number. You should file the claim, you can always retract it.
 
Yeah I usually ship out really quick. Unless it is a big item then it takes a little while to find a box. I usually only deal with people with good rep also. I am slowing building my rep up so people know I won't screw them. I guess you live and learn though especially when its on a big dollar item. Thanks to all the honest people out there. If your a screw over then rot in hell. People have to work very hard for there money these days.
 
I just sold a set of BBS wheels, buyer sent me payment on Tuesday night, wheels were shipped and on their way by Wednesday afternoon. Sounds like he jipped you, I always like to have consistant communication when buying or selling parts or goods.
 
well I think I was just impatient or he saw that I filed a claimed in his inbox. He contacted me through dsmtuners email saying sorry, he has been working alot and since he is existing the scene has no reason to really visit this site often. Got his phone number and chatted a little so all is good.

I think I need to slow down my life a little.
 
When ever i do business i always either ask for or give a phone number that way i can at least talk through text. I also like to take a picture of the receipt showing it was shipped out and end that go them as well... sucks you might have gotten ripped as has been stated befor people work to hard for their money to be screwed
 
That's good that he got in touch with you, even though it took filing a claim to "motivate" him. With the technology we have, and the features DSMTuners provide us that's still kind of a BS excuse to me. Most people have push notifications, email alerts, something. Even if you have none of those, it only takes a few seconds to log in and check messages. I'm still building my rep, but I'm always on top of pm's and thread replies.
 
My answer to people that say they got busy or whatever is, don't list your stuff for sale if you don't have time! I always make sure to document my items, get pictures and boxes BEFORE I list it. I'm always busy which is most of the reason I don't list much for sale, just let it pile up LOL. And never send paypal as a gift because that's what it becomes, a gift you can't get back. And at least a few people in this thread say that in their ads which always turns me away as a buyer...

You weren't impatient. You were in the right. I try and ship out at least two days from purchase date if not the next day. Glad he got ahold of you and it worked out but you should not be getting a response back only after filing a claim. Even with the delay he could have let you know instead of him leaving you there thinking you got scammed.
I purchased a motor from a "vendor"(vendor my ass) on here and it took him almost two and a half months to ship the damn motor. It hadn't even been assembled which was not stated to me at the time and then I have to deal with a real vendor who actually was to do the work and they weren't happy that the seller put them in that position and had to put their other jobs aside to do the work. Motor arrived and pistons looked like horse crap. Worst experience ever and if I wasn't a good guy I would have smeared his name as well as the shop who sent me the half ass motor. The damn shop had even forgot to put a freeze plug back in, haha..
 
you did what you needed to to protect you and your money, no shame or wrong doing there.

Even if he had been working alot, he could have taken 2 seconds to send a pm saying hey i've been slammed at work but haven't forgotten about you.
 
:update: I give up with this dude, of course he contacted me quick because he saw the dispute but now I am ticked, I took screen shots of our conversation on dsmtuners email system showing how he was going to ship it out that night (July 24th) but never did blah blah blah LOL. Paypal will get my money back.

sucks because Eclipse001 had a 10 in buyer/seller rating.
 
Sounds like it's too late but hopefully you hear something soon.

its not to late, claim was already filed, they are trying to contact him and if he doesn't I get my money back with in 10 days. if he does contact them they would probably ask for a tracking number or something. Worst case he sends an empty box but im cam-cording the opening just to be safe and proof ROFL
