I think that's common sense... however as the buyer, twice I've had the seller refund the money to me, and then the item has shown up. 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. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "J. C.

He may be fraudulant or the item Could show up late and then as a seller you are screwed. I don't think that's being unfair to the buyer. joc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
