Disappointed...looks like I've been screwed by a fellow AWer...
Based on a recent post, I offered to send my old OEM sport shocks to another poster. I was just looking for the cost of shipping (fyi, I'm NOT referring to Kris to whom I recently sent my OEM sport springs).
I got lots of e-mails at first - "really interested, when are you shipping?, what's the tracking number?, I really appreciate this, etc." Then, "I'm having trouble with PayPal, can I send you an MO?", then finally, no responses to my messages. I'm not naming names in case there's some issue I don't know about - who knows, maybe the guy lost his job in the last couple of weeks? I prefer to trust people, rather than distrust. That said, its not looking good.
This is a great community and I've had great transactions with lots of members. In this case, I'm out $35 so its not a big deal. Just disappointed

Hope it has a positive ending, but if it doesn't..
..and you don't hear anything in a few more weeks, I think you should advise the community here so there won't be anyone else in the same position with this person.
I believe the B5 S4 group has a running listing of good/bad trade/sell A/W experiences.

Give it a couple more days then OUT them.
For future reference....
There is an unofficial buyer/seller feedback thread. If they aren't listed, post asking for opinions on them.
I just did this for 10secS4 and got a ton of positive replies. Just waiting patiently and confidently for my part to arrive.
Lately Paypal has been telling me that my transactions (deposits or e-checks) will take 3-5 days to complete. This is with a bank account already on the account.
If it doesn't get resolved soon, post the person's info. on Pirate4X4.com - bad karma could find them quickly.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2368896.phtml">S4 buyer / seller thread</a></li></ul>
