Having a problem with a seller, Need your help Options

[FallenHero]

A month or two ago I sent money to "Mistisokid" for a front bumper. He said it was shipped a LONG time ago and it never arrived. I asked for a shipping number, and he couldn't give me one. I called the company he used to ship it, and they said they had no record of the transaction.

Last thursday I finally saw him on AIM again. He said it came back and he would RE-SHIP it (with the ZIP code on it this time....) by that friday or saturday. He also said he would give me a shipping number BY SATURDAY for it. It has almost been a week and I have yet to even hear from him. He got on AIM the other night and I IMed him several times, and he never responded. I left him a message to PM and E-mail me about the status, and I have heard nothing.

I am tired of waiting and trying to talk to this guy. If any of you see him on AIM 'mistisokid' tell him to send me the shipping number for the bumer or my money back by the end of next week.

If you guys would do this for me I would VERY MUCH appreciate it.

Thanks

I sympathize with you man.

I bought something in January 2003 (that's not a typo...2003) from a seller off eBay in the US and still haven't recieved it.
I managed to track down the seller (fortunately for me a ligit company), which wasn't easy (I'm in France). It turned out that half the company had been bought out and was trading under another name. Again I was fortunate. I called the old company who quite happily gave me their new details including their phone number.
I have now contacted them on several occasions by phone and something is being sorted, or so I have been assured.
However, until I get the parts, they get hassled (calmly and diplomatically) with phone calls from me.

Lets hope both are story's have a happy ending.
