file paypal now!! scammers have all sorts of LIES and EXCUSES.and they will use the kid excuse or wife excuse or some one died. just file for the paypal claim they will put a hold on the money if heas not taken out of paypal yet.

he says has to wait to get paid to ship it and you paid for shipping (WTF)
screw that tell us his name and file the negative and file the paypal.a good seller would have had it in the mail already.

file a dispute, not a claim.

this will hold the money from his account, till the matter is sorted.

if it doesn't get sorted, you can escalate it to a claim, if the item arrived, you can close the dispute, and he gets the money released back to him.

however, I highly doubt the money is even in his account anymore, and you'll see nothing.

+1.It should at least say "Accepted at such and such location and time".With USPS,chances are it will never get updated after that,but it should at least show that the package was accepted within a day's time.

I got scammed once and received a tracking#.All it ever said was that the "USPS was notified to expect a package for delivery".Apparently that was because he printed a shipping label through paypal.After a week of receiving the same message I went to the post office and the lady explained to me that nothing was ever shipped or it would have at least shown that the package was accepted at some location.

well here is my update. as i stated before i got a tracking number for the post office. most of you know they are about useless numbers as they almost never update there system.lol well with that said, i have been checking the number sice i got it earlier today with the simple response of ( i forgot the wording but nothing found was the answer) well now the good news. here it is 9:30 pm and i just checked it again. and it is true he did send out today and the number finally updated. so i am not screwed this far.lol thanks for everyones in put on this and i did email the guy this morning pretty much demanding a refund or proof of shipment. so no i feel like a a-s because his kid was really in the hospital and he really did not have the time i guess.

as if you still believe the guy!

I bloody well wouldn't!

shipping an empty box?

giving you tracking for someone elses parcel?

you still have NO proof its been sent!

start a paypal dispute, if it arrives, as described, you can close the dispute.

Here is the prob with that the guy could have sent an empty box but the fact that he has a tracking number that will show it was delivered means paypal. Will side with the guy who shipped trust me I have seen it happen buddy of mine bought a rifle scope from a guy for 500 bucks paid through paypal he got a 10 dollar wal mart pellet rifle scope and because the seller had the tracking number showing deivery he won the dispute they really don't care what's in the box just that it was delivered

If possible ask the delivery guy to stick around for a second and open it in front of him. If you cant do that video record opening the package, post it on YouTube and send the link to Paypal with your claim if it is indeed not what you bought. May not help, but worth a shot.

You guys need to chill. Believe me if my kid was in the hospital RC would be the last thing on my mind period. Give the guy a break and be patient.

+1, if you made the payment on 12-31-09 then it was new years eve,then i think the post office was closed on new years day. Now is the 9th. Lets say usually mail is 3 to 7 days depending on the location. So if he send it out lets say on the 4th being monday then you should be receiving it around saturday or monday.

I my self have been slow in shiping stuff out, and I also have a 5 year old so, so if he is sick ,then my attention goes to him 100% everything else comes a distant 2nd.

Im not saying that you are not getting scammed but give it sufficient time to arrived.


Can you post the tracking #?

I keep seeing posts like this. I have three daughters, and I agree. NOTHING comes before my kids................. Unless I already took someone's money, that that will take near precidence. On my very first trip home from the hospital, I would ship it so I could give my family 100% attention. Once you take someone's money you are as comitted to it as raising a kid once you conceive one...IMO

I agree, if you can take someone's money, you can find a way to ship it.

Get a neighbor or relative to help you out. It's not like its an all day job to just run by the post office. Or in the time that it took him to log onto here, he could have logged onto paypal, printed a shipping label, and stuffed it in the mailbox, or literally dropped it off at the po
