Question regarding lack of communication

Post by Frostreaver586 »

So I did a Trade almost a month ago now with aedh11. He sent me the first part of payment right off the bat with no issues. it's now been over a week and a half nice I've heard anything from him and I am due another 44 USD. I'm really not sure what I should do next? Do I wait it out some more or is there a way to kick this up to the next step and have someone else look into it. I'd have no problem waiting for payment if things got tight all of the sudden, but with no communication my patience is running out pretty rapidly.

Has the other party received the goods? Tell me more details on the trade please. Was he sending partial payment first, then you ship, then he follows up with the rest?
Don't wait any longer. Has he been reading your messages? Send him one that states you expect a response in x days or you file a bad trader report and will follow with further more serious routes. I would get a bad trader report ready to go. Where are you located? That may help you get in touch with a mod who is in your area and can help you with what to do next.
Please ship to my by post office, couriers pull all kinds of shenanigans with customs fees

I'm not sure if he's been reading my messages. I told him Sunday that if he didn't get back to me by today I was going to follow more serious avenues. I'm in California and he's in England. He was suppose to pay the other half ofthe funds once it reached his place. I tracked down the parcel at my local post office using the international customs tags and they said it gOt there. So the next step is a bad trade note? I guess I'll fill one of those out tomorrow when I get home.

He hasn't been on the site since the 22nd. So he has proabably not seen your messages. Check and see if they have been read, are they in your outbox still? If they are he hasn't read them.

Parcels sent to the UK take along time if they go surface? Did you send surface or air? Do you have a tracking number.

Do you have a phone number or email address?

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.
