Marketplace / fishy transaction Q

[Turbinator]

I bought (money order) an EOTech XPS from a fellow calgunner via Marketplace approx. 4 weeks ago. He claims that he shipped the sight to me on Wed. 12/15. However, I still have not received anything. He also promised to send me the tracking info, but not yet received it either. It seems to me that there is something fishy going on with the transaction... any suggestions?

Send me a PM with the details. I'll look into it.

For something like this scope he (seller or buyer) should have paid for insurance and signature conformation (several times i paid out of my pocket for this just to avoid any problems). If i sell an item that is over a couple hundred i always get signature conformation and insurance just to avoid any issues like this. Even if he did not get delivery conformation (.70 cents extra) he should have some kind of receipt and can scan and pm it.

It has already taken 19 days for an hour trip. Is the USPS that bad?

expect a huge bill from him if you cancel that MO..then the PO drops the optic on your door...or if he can prove he shipped it to you.

for all we know YOU did get the optic and are now trying to RIP him off.

I wouldnt cancel that MO just yet...if you are wrong it will cost your greatly.

Hopefully it wasn't stolen off your front porch or mailbox. It happens alot during the holidays.

If you don't get a reasonable answer from the guy, drive that hour to his place and ask him WTF?!

I had some Christmas packages stolen off my porch, so it is quite possible that happened. My youngest boy did not get his new RC helicopter. I am still dealing with UPS and filing a claim. I doubt I'll ever recoup my money.

I had several cases where seller were suppose to get back with me with tracking number . but they didnt . i didnt really bother to ask since they had 100% feedback rating . in couple days later , i got what i paid for .

hopefully , this is ur case as well . but he should stay in touch with update though =/

It took 5 working days just to send an envelope to nor-cal last week. I've also had my mail sent back to me twice I'n the past 2 years. that being said, he should have at least contacted you again, taken a picture, whatever, just something. After the dispute is settled maybe you should post his name so that we can be sure not to deal with them.

Hope it works out.

This why I will always use paypal/Gunpal/ credit card when doing person to person deals. I hope things work out

Some people get busy and lose track of responsibilities over the holidays. Hopefully he sobers up and gets your stuff out to you soon.
