How long do I wait?
« on: September 27, 2007, 02:26:21 AM »
In good faith, I ordered two balls from a seller on here more than six weeks ago, paying the entire bill via PayPal.  I received one ball the next week, and was told the other ball would be shipped when it back in stock in about two weeks.

I waited a month and wrote asking about the status of the ball.  I was told that the order got misplaced, and the ball would be shipped that Monday.

As of now, it's been 9 business days since that Monday, and I still have no ball, which only had to cross two state lines in shipping.  My most recent e-mails have gotten no reply except that the person was away for the weekend and would reply on this past Monday.  Another e-mail sent two days ago has also received no response.

I want to believe this person is an upstanding seller, but I'm getting a bit frustrated by the lack of response and the lack of a new bowling ball in my possession.  So, my question is, how long do I wait before I open discussions about the transaction with PayPal?

 Ask for the tracking number. If you don't get it you can file a dispute with pay pal and get your money back. You've showed way more patience thatn i would have. I would have demanded my money back immediately when told the other ball was not in stock. Oldest trick in the book.

I would dig up a phome number and start calling. You have been more than patient enough. If you cannot reach the person by phone, I would contact Paypal.
