I bought a NIB Inferno from him early-mid last week, paid via paypal, and haven't heard from him since.  I tried to message him and have him explain what might be the delay, no reply.  I hope that everything is well for this person and his family, however, please answer this.  How long should someone wait until they begin to wonder if they've been taken for a ride.  I was in the hospital for 10 days and conducted two trades and two purchases with only a slight delay, on my part, with the trades.  However, I kept in constant communication with the people involved in the deals and let them know why the delay was taking place.  For all intent and purposes, a valid tracking number should be provided in 48-72 hours, except in extreme circumstances.  I think I'll give The Nean until Monday until I begin a paypal claim.  That will be nearly two weeks after purchase.  If a person hasn't responded to messages or provided the product by then, I belive it's well within my rights to be a little upset and try to refund my monies.

This site is full of good honest sellers/buyers. Don't let the bad ones discourage you from making deals on here. You'll be fine as long as you check references before making deals. Most of the good guys keep a list of successful transactions in their profile. I have made 22 successful transactions here and never had a problem with any of them.

This is in The Nean's defense.

He has contacted me.

He has provided a valid UPS tracking number with a scheduled delivery on 5/31/05.  I needed the ball before 6/1/05 for a 10 game practice session leading up to Lombard's Wild Turkey Bourbon regional tourney.  The only thing left is for the ball to arrive.  There were some extenuating circumstances that led to the delay that, agreeably, could have been handled better.  However, as long as the product is safely in my possession by the end of Tuesday, I'll be happy.

The bottom line, communication is crucial.  Providing news, bad or good, regarding the progress of finishing a transaction is key.  Nobody's gonna argue with me on that one.
