Yes, thanks for the reply. I messed up their trading name, you are correct---that's him with the coon! [sm=bananahead.gif] Anyway, I've started to explore some options. What happened was I e-mailed him several times after the auction ended, and got no response. I was about to say forget the whole thing (I had not paid at this point). Then, out of the blue, he e-mailed me back. I figured maybe it was ok, and the delay in communication was because of the Thanksgiving holiday. So, I paid the man. Then, he sent me an e-mail about two or three days later saying he had sent me the package. This was over a week ago, and the store is less than 400 miles from my home. It shouldn't take that long for shipping, so I e-mailed him three times asking once again had he really shipped it. No response. I even threatened to initiate fraud processes, and still no response. This is frustrating. I have two options, one is through paypal, and the other is through discover/novus. I know I will eventually get my money back, but the whole thing sucks. Who knows, it might show up at my door on Monday, but I would like for someone to return e-mails when something like this is going on. I should have went with my gut instinct when he didn't return the e-mails before the money exchange!
