[ForSale-Swap] Re: Pressing charges for bad ebay deal

"All positive feedback received:  63"
Unless his account has been high jacked (which I doubt) the Ham you bought
from is as good as gold! Had no negative feedback until you left him one
without knowing the circumstances of why you haven't heard from him. He has
no ID history that indicates he has changed his ID which is also a good sign
and has a perfect eBay history record for about a yr (until now). I would be
concerned about the guy instead of rushing to give him a negative feedback
he can not delete. The guy might have had a heart attack, death in the
family or whatever. I've used shipping drop off's and there is no way I know
if the package got in the hands of a driver and scanned into the system or
someone walked off with it before the driver pick up, until and unless it
shows up in the tracking. 

I wouldn't blame him for spoiling your feedback record and leaving you
negative feedback in return, which you have risked by leaving him the same.
I take it you did a "Search: Find Contact Information" to see if your
contact information matched?

I've sent an email to a NC Ham I know to see what I can find out.

John:

Thank you for posting the seller's call sign, but it would be helpful to 
others if you posted  his ebay ID also.

Unfortunately there is no IRLP node near Weaverville where you could 
track him down through a local repeater.

Echolink DOES have a link very close to Weaverville in Alexander, NC, 
KG4LGY-L. Perhaps there is a local ham accessible through the link that 
could help straighten things out. A little peer pressure in the local 
ham community where an alleged offender is not anonymous can go a long 
way toward conflict resolution.

I am in no way suggesting that you encourage the harassment of this 
alleged offender.

Good luck
