Fellow Canadians - when do you start to worry that you've been ripped off? I'm starting to get a little concerned about an auction.
I bought this lot, which consisted of a Sega CDX and some games. The total was $91.00 USD. I won the auction on August 5th and paid by paypal that same day. Shipping was $30.00 through USPS.
Right after the auction, I emailed the seller through eBay's "ask seller a question" link to see if it included controllers, AC adapter, etc... He responded the same day or the day after saying that it did. Great.
It's now been 1 month and 7 days. I haven't received the package. I've emailed the seller a few times asking him to confirm when he shipped it and he hasn't responded to any communication. Should I be worried? Sometimes shipping from USA is sloooowwwwww. I understand the delay and I'm fine with it. My concern is the lack of communication - it makes me think the guy's just taken the money.
On the other hand, it's only been about a month, maybe he didn't get it out for a few days, and given the size of that lot, I could imagine that it would be a big box and possibly stuck up in customs as a result. This doesn't explain the lack of communication, but does explain the delay.
I don't want this thread to dissuade any American sellers from selling to Canadians. I've purchased a lot of stuff from Americans and never had a problem until possibly now.
I'd really appreciate some input - Thanks
