I have been trying to buy up small pieces of tapa on ebay. I found a nice framed tappa and won it on Jan. 17.(item # 3952030819.) I paid through paypal on Jan 19. After a couple of weeks went by and no word from the seller, I emailed him and asked if my item was to be shipped out soon. He responded back that his father had died and he was caught up dealing with the tragic affair. I wrote back that I was sorry for his loss and when he was able, to please email me and let me know the tracking info. He wrote right back thanking me for my understanding and said that the tapa would be shiped the next morning and he'd email me the tracking #.
Well, over a month later no tapa and no emails from this person. He has still been listing items for sale, and is even getting good feedback from people who won auctions after I did. This leads me to beleive that there must be more to the story here than his fathers passing. I'm so mad I could scream. I just wrote one last email giving him till Friday morning before I report him, and start procedures with paypal to at least get my money back. I still would rather have my damn tapa. I have sent an email a week since he said he would send next day, but no response.
Any other stories out there. Misery loves company...
