Per my Trading Advice, did you set a timeline for when he would send his half back to you?

If not, you need to send a note saying that things are not going as you expected, that you expected some kind of confirmation of receipt and notification of shipment by now. I would set a couple deadlines before opening a BTR:
- confirmation of receipt by Thursday
- proof of shipment by Friday
Explain that failure to do so raises concerns, and if they have any issues, they should let you know ASAP.

As it's been a week, I'd feel free to call them during normal business hours to see what's up

Also, by "higher rating", are we talking 60+, 100+, or 200+?

As he hasn't been on for a week,I would try calling him.Maybe he's sick or a family member is sick or hurt, could be he can't get to a computer( I had no access for 2 weeks this fall)got deployed,something.If you have a phone number use it.What's the worst that can happen, he gets mad at you for calling him :shocked: ? My 2 cents

Never send me anything UPS or that I have to sign for I can't afford to take off work to receive it.Always send with Delivery Conformation,I will do the same.
If you are not in the United States tell me NOW,please.
Make a offer? It's your stuff you should know what you want for it.Seriously you want me to price your stuff for you?

:(

I wish you'd left the details of your problem in the posts, and not edited them out.
Even if you mentioned the person/business by name, you could have just edited out the name.

It could have helped traders with less experience who may run into issues like this.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.
