Just a pointer, there is a time limit to make a paypal claim, make sure that you do it in time.

It's difficult sometimes to remain calm, but try to ...

If you do get to the point where you have to put a claim in and then the seller responds, you can always cancel it.

I think nykmedia is right though, at the moment if I buy anything I'm waiting for a response from the seller before I pay. Not foolproof, but at least you know they are around some of the time.

Good luck!

Thanks allot , Im trying to stay calm not easy lol , yes I learnt that lesson from few years back only pay straight away now if I know the person , you learn from your mistakes they say lol

Thing is, Crystal, unfortunately when people come on the boards it usually is with problems - not many of us come on here to say we are managing quite nicely and all our buyers/sellers are great!

The trouble is, that when you get a lot of new people peeking in and the boards are busy, it just makes it seem that EVERYBODY is having problems, which in truth most are probably not.

I've had a couple of very nice transactions on here and am expecting some more stuff in a few days, so far (famous last words) nothing untoward has happened!

Also I do think that now there is too much focus on private sellers being expected to act like business sellers. (t'other side is to blame for that) I really don't expect somebody who is working full time or managing with a few kids running around, to simply sit at the pc all day or drop everything and go shooting off to the po with my package.
I get quite a few bargains on line, stuff that I personally would find exceptionally difficult to get anywhere else, and I appreciate the fact that I have access to this stuff at these prices but don't expect Harrobs service as well.

No reflection on the OP here, just having a bit of a rant

Lynda,
A month is a long time to wait and the seller is making "excuses" and now not responding. They could be perfectly legitimate or not. If they said 2 weeks ago to wait a few more days due to a kitchen refurb then it must be a VERY large refurb - mine was done recently in 3 days! I do believe you should start a claim with Paypal asap - in any case within the next week or you lose the opportunity to do so (45 day time limit). You can always close the claim if the goods do turn up.
