I'm having some worries with this guy on the other end of my latest transaction. I purchsed a laptop on eBay last Wednesday and he keep giving me excuses opf why he STILL has not shipped the item. I starting to get a little impatient and I'm suspecting that he's trying to rip me off. Please let me know what you think...
OK, to start off, here is the auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6842922955&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
Title: Toshiba Portege R205 R200 2.6lbs, .71" thick L@@K!
Ended: Jan-25-06 11:37:08 PST
Buy It Now Price: $1,250.00
I paid immediately through PayPal.
Before I bought the item, the seller and I had exchanged messages about shipping. I asked him if he would send the the package the same day the auction ended (Wed) so it would get here by Friday or Saturday. He told me it was not a problem because his post office was open 24 hours and he would drop it off on his way home from work. I then bought and paid for the item and notified him of the payment. I unfortunately do not have these messages because my old laptop just up and died after these messages were exchanged and they are lost forever.

Theodore, I received your payment. I have to do a quick restore tonight on the laptop and it'll be on its way tomorrow morning.
I leave town for the weekend on a Cruise, expecting the package will hopefully arrive by Saturday. I get home on Sunday to see no package. I then wait another day and on Monday I request his contact information through eBay, and send him this message:

Hello, have you shipped the computer yet because I have not yet received it. Do you have a tracking number?

Hey, Teddy. Don't worry. The package left this morning via. UPS. I have yet to receive it from my shipping dept. downstairs, but as soon as I do, it'll be sent along. **** I dropped it off this morning to them, because I've been rather busy over the last 4 days trying to resolve some issues with work, because I started a new job this past week and its taking a bit to get up to speed. **
Is there any way you can send me a tracking number when you ship it? I am getting impatient, as I was expecting this to arrive no later than Monday. I'm sure you can understand my frustration. Thank you, and good luck with the new job.

NO RESPONSE UNTIL 5:44pm!!

Dumb-a$$ shipping people didn't send it. They were going to ship it out tomorrow morning, because it was a personal package - 2 day turn-around. Who knew?! I'm sending you a picture via. my personal email of the shipping slip from USPS. **
