Default WARNING: I got ripped off by a fellow Audi owner!

I bid on a set of eyelids from a guy selling them on the forums.

We set up the deal and he was cool all the way through until I sent the money via Paypal two weekends ago. He e-mailed me on Wednesday, May 28, apologized for not getting in touch with me, and promised he would send the eyelids out on Thursday, May 29, via next day air.

Then he disappeared.

I've sent several e-mails to him and he has not replied. Obviously, I haven't received the eyelids.
And I'm pissed! The only thing I'm glad for is that it wasn't several hundred $$ for some wheels!

He goes by the address A4saloon@yahoo.com and his name is Mike Darlington.
