Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but I'll try. I bought a Sideshow figure from ebay. The auction went for about 40 bucks less than others sold for. Well 2 weeks later and still no figure. The seller added a tracking number a few days ago but the number says no record available. I contacted the seller and they said they will look into it. Now the seller has the same figure with the same pictures for sale on ebay. It's been 2 weeks since the purchase (which isn't long) but the other factors seem odd. Should I be concerned? Or should I wait it out longer? If so how long? Thanks for the help guys!

I recommend patience. Ebay has the record of your payment, and the record of the supposed shipment.
If you wait longer, and that shipping tracker still says the same thing, it'll be an easy decision for Ebay (should you file a dispute). What's the guy's rating/number? |

He has 595 but 3 negs in the last 12 months. All three say the item never got there. But they all ended really low. I'm probably just being paranoid but that's why I asked here.

Im not a guy who buys on ebay and bitches because it doesnt come in a few days, or even a week. I understand some sellers actually have lives (me) and cant get to the PO 10 times a day, every day or even every few days. The PO isnt open 24/7. If its been 2 weeks and nothing, and he has posted a tracking number, Id give that another week or so. Ive been scammed on this 2 times: When the seller never sent the item, posted a phony tracking number and hoped he'd get away with it. Let the tracking number show for a week and then if nothing Id file a complaint to get my money back. If the item ends up showing, be a man and pay for it. Life can get in the way of ebay.

I don't think your being paranoid. Two Weeks and nothing? No track of the DC? I'd be contacting Ebay. When I sell even if I ship a few days late it never takes that long. And now one mysteriously shows up for sale with the same exact picture. Where there's smoke there's normally fire. Especially with the new info of 3 negs. Contact Ebay.

I will say this predicament is always a yellow flag to me but honestly 9.5 times out of ten the seller comes through...be patient and as long as the figure comes as described you will be happy!

Regardless of what you do, post the guy's eBay username, and let us know the outcome!

2 weeks, and still no item.. go to ebay. Dude is hosed about not selling for a high enough price and will take the hit on his account rather than loose the 40 or 50 bucks that he thought he should have gotten over what he paid.
He'll tell Ebay that it was lost in the mail, you'll get a refund and that will be it. Sorry dude.

After 2 days the tracking should show something. I'd give it a week from the time it shipped. If no tracking appears file a dispute because at that point it would have been 3 weeks since you bought the item, and it shouldn't take anybody 3 weeks to get it to you.
