Darren,


Sorry to hear about the hassle. Unfortunately, I don't think there is much you can do at this point but wait for it to show up. If is was sent by Priority Mail, it should have been there very quickly and is likely a scam. However, lots of people actually write in the form letter style you mention and are real people. Maybe the buyer actually didn't get the part but I seriously doubt it. I have never had anything lost by Priority Mail(knock on wood). All you can do is write to the customer and explain the situation. Do you have the receipt from shipment? If so, take a picture of it and send it to them. Maybe if they are trying to scam you that will scare them off.


Thanks,

Jason

I sent him a photo of my receipt. Get a load of this. This is apparently from the person who works at this post box business where he has all his stuff shipped to. I guess he asked about the package status and this is what he got back.

"This is a message from the company.


Hello xxxxx,

I need to give away a traking number because without it we can not know if what we have. Because this bill does not tell us anything because it just says it was delivered in Miami FL 33172 and in 33172 there is a warehouse complex and could deliver not necessarily ours.

Only by name in the system have nothing need the traking number and that provider is.

thanks"

Seriously???

That sounds like Nigerian scam English. Report it to ebay as a highjacked account and an attempt at extortion. Dont send the &quot;buyer&quot; anything. I have a feeling it is not even your actual buyer that is trying to get the money back.
