I knew there was a reason I don't sell anything on Flea-bay.

Not fleabay this time..; http://www.wgolb.com
There are several similar sites...

Wich confirms; if it is too good to be true...

-well, I was expecting it, but had faith in the Chinese to trade.
And if they just had followed up on my first purchase, they could have won big(ger) on my second...

Perhaps a blessing in disguise then.

Oh well, live and learn I guess...

Sorry you got ripped off.

-and I now have to add audiotek168 on fleabay as a no-good seller, I have been waiting (too long) for lots of parts, and when asked a couple of times after a month and more, I was assured it was sent.
Now, two+ months later, I can not get any answer.
(and ofcourse no help from ebay).

Why dont you file a complaint with paypal after 20 days. If he cant prove that he mailed something to you then you usually win. I think the cutoff point where they dont provide help is 30 days after the sale.

Of course not! Not now that courts have ruled Ebay is not responsible for the content or quality of the sellers

30 days is way too short for snail-post by camel / donkey, using the "silk-road" from china/HK...

I actually got my shipment from Audiotek today. Of course the purchases were made more than 60 days ago so can't even leave feedback anymore. 10/13 purchase, 10/27 shows on the shipping date. Surface mail.

My purchase was Sep-14-08...

FWIW, I've sent things to Spain and Italy, fortunately not for money, and they just disappeared. The customs form was useless in tracking them, and I didn't pay the huge amount extra for a service with tracking. IMO, there's a serious problem somewhere in the USPS.
