GET A Fricken Tracking Number. If the seller is going to SCREW you they are not going to even bother creating a shipping label, common sense. When you get the tracking number look it up and create a shipping status update email. Period.

If the tracking number is not valid or indicated not received by shipping company........You have been SCAMMED. Period.

Once you realize that you have been scammed(2-3 days at most) file a clam with Paypal, Credit card, Post Office, Money order what ever.period. Put a stop payment out there. Don't wait.Period.

This puts the seller on alert and you have a much better chance of getting either the part or your money back.Period.

I'm pretty sure you can't get a tracking # until you actually ship something. I won't ship a part till it's paid for. If the condition of the part is questionable I send the buyer more detailed pics and or description before he pays. I try to be as honest as possible . One member was wanting a rusted fender I had listed for $50, He was up in NY ( IIRC) Was over $200 bucks to ship it. after a week or so I think I convinced him he could probably find one local cheaper and in better shape. I sell stuff I don't need to fund my projects and help others keep theirs moving along. Not to scam people. I give some stuff away free, Once you scrap these parts they are gone forever.
