How long until you invite the lynch mob/flaming torches? (After you have twice emailed for a 'yes it is posted' or 'no will do it tomorrow etc')

It is all about trust! Prefer that Paypal dont get a cut on the deal, the guy has a posting history including classified stuff. I am sure it will work out fine, first time it has taken this long though.

It’s up to you but PayPal charge a small amount for the benefit both parties get. Although never happened on this site I have been robbed twice on Bike radar although got money back through PayPal since that hardly use that site again.

Chainrings? If so, I know the seller and he's not dodgy. Well...

I would rather add a pew pence onto the Paypal payment to ensure that the seller gets the full amount they want rather than gift it. Yes Paypal may make a charge but they are providing a very convenient service, they are not a charity. If it bothers you that much, use bank transfer. Ah, but that involves someone trusting a stranger with their bank details... see where I'm going here?

I think 7 days is resonable length of time to wait for something to arrive or at least communications and tracking number, when there is no communications there is little you can do as is now the case for me.

Good luck getting your goods.

We don't need names-something could be seriously wrong.

The person could be on holiday, but if they have not told you e.g. I'm away or busy for next 2 weeks then I'd be miffed.

Email them for a refund or you will go public.

Nowt wrong with Lyons he's been able to post on other threads just not able to communicate where the goods are and doesn't respond to e-mail.

lyons that's not the same address you had put in your previous posts, I can use that one and happy to forward previous mails on to you, there were no non-delivery notifications notices.

Anyway you've poped back up and I got your mail this pm so I hope to see the pedals this week which would be ace 🙂
