Uh-oh, I think I may have just been ripped off on ebay

You ever get that gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach when you feel you have been had?

Well, I'm starting to get that feeling.

I was pretty keen to get some new arcade buttons to replace the slightly ratty ones in my newest cab but Happ have been a bit slack recently and shipping is V expensive, so I found this guy on e-bay selling them at a good price (new)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13718&item=6109382211&rd=1

Sent him an e-mail to confirm shipping costs which worked out pretty good so I used the "buy now" to order 30 of them and paid with my CC via paypal

That was over a week ago and I haven't heard from him since - the guy has over 1000 positive feedbacks, why did he choose to pick on me?

Has anyone had to use the "safetrader" thing on ebay? If I don't hear from him in the next few days I guess that wil be my only choice.

Anyway - if anyone is thinking of buying buttons from this guy,  "tornadoterrysdot" you might want to hold fire and see what happens to me.

Looks legitimate to me.  Just give it time.  Its probably in the mail.  Anyways, you probably have fraud protection on your credit card.
darktemp:
The guy is clearly a reputable seller.  Instead of posting here why not email him?
SirPeale:
You say that *you* haven't heard from *him* but have you tried contacting him again since then?

When you email, are you using a Hotmail or Yahoo account?  You might be getting filtered accidentally as Spam.

eBay will give you additional contact information, such as telephone numbers, to make it easier to follow up on such matters.  You may want to try that failing email.

Finally, email *does* get lost, and with the volume of business this guy appears to be doing, it could very well be that it just got shuffled off somewhere.
rdagger:
Contact him using Ebay to send him a message instead of emailing him directly.  Ask him to do the same.  This will insure that the emails are not getting blocked.  Ask him to confirm your address.
