In one case I shipped the item back because it ended up being not as expected. In the other case I tore up the check.
It can be just as likely that the seller never shipped the item and took the buyer's money... the tracking info, in itself, only shows that the box was shipped, not that te item was shipped. I guess this is one of the hazards of dealing with complete strangers as opposed to mail order or retail establishments. Tom C. ======= Tom, very unlikely the seller didn't ship. That wouldn't even have occurred to me. One carry suspicion too far. :-) It would be too easy to be found out, shipping just a box. There was no way the seller would know the box would get lost -- not with tracking information. That will tell something was on its way to the buyer. Yes, regarding dealing with strangers, but surprisingly about 90-99% are honest. But problems like this are why I won't ship overseas (from the US) normally. I make exceptions only for Canada usually, because it's on the same land mass. Less to go wrong, overall.
