What to do when seller does not send item paid for

First I wouldn't deny that strange things sometimes happen with the mail. I was waiting for the vinyl from FL to NY 26 days. I'm still waiting on record to get from California since July 26 as stated by seller. I sent a money order and received a negative feedback on ebay while it was traveling to the same state for more than three weeks! but than removed when the seller received it. So Sean 14 days isn't the limit yet!
Hotmail accounts can be multiple and person whether he wants or not sooner or later fughedsaboudit as well as cell phones change due to the different phones going out to the consumer and breaks on the new plans.
Maybe these two things camp up together and AudioGon has no possibility to rich since it does not register the credit card or bank account.

If any of you did the math you would find out that in terms of % there as much or more fraud on Audiogon as there is on ebay. The differnce is thta he the frauds are for huge sums of cash.I have done over 1000+ transactions on ebay with no a problem.
Yet i have been dicked around on this site over and over.
People commit to buy they dont send money.
You make a firm offer the guy accepts then changes his mind.
I will take my chances on Ebay. They protect you up

go for it then Nat - you haven't lost a dime here & yet you're complaining?

M,
As others have mentioned, I have had a number of transaction segments take longer than expected here and at ebay, for example a money order that took 13 days to reach its destination in first class mail. If the seller has good feedback from other trusted members, I would not worry. On the other hand, if you were scammed, consider registering the dispute here and notifying law enforcement at the seller's local. You probably won't see your $, but you will help shut the jerk down and possibly cause him/her some heartburn if the local police follow up with a call.

Natalie,

Have you ever wondered if:

A) the items that you posted attracted a certain type of person or crowd ?

B) how you worded your ads left you open for quite a bit of nit-picking and / or tire-kicking ?

C) the manner in how you conducted business or responded to inquiries made people think twice about whether they wanted to do business with you ?

I bring this up as i have conducted business on both Ebay and on Audiogon many times over. I have done so on both a personal and professional level. In every way, the participants of Audiogon have been head and shoulders above the average "nitwit" that uses Ebay. This is not to say that all Ebayer's are low-lifes or that all Audiogoner's are "brain surgeons", but that if one wants to deal in specialty items, you are probably better off doing such in a specialized forum with those that can appreciate what you have to offer.
