Default How long to wait?

I won a P06 on Egay and I am still waiting for the seller to contact me. I requested a total with shipping already. I have tried 2 different email addresses. This is going on the 4th day. Should I give him a week? Its says contact me within 3 days of auction closing. He has 0 feedback also. I would love to get this ECU so I can get my turbo going. What are your opinions?

I think ebay has it's own forum for things like this, you can also contact customer care (in which case they will most likely laugh at you).

Don't get your hopes too high on that ecu, good odds are that you will get fucked. I don't like to buy ---- from newbies on ebay or from forigners, they tend to screw you over.

I would give him 5 days, send an email a day, request user info call him if you must.. otherwise plan on buying it elsewhere. Unless his communication really picks up, I'd be really worried about getting screwed.

Why are you buying from people with -0- feedback? This should telll you how fast he is going to send you the ECU. If he isn't worried about the payment, he probably isn't going to be too worried about your ECU getting to you in an acceptable amount of time.

remember the golden rule of bargain hunting:

if a deal looks to good to be true, then it is

If he has not requested the money he doesn't want it you are already released from that commitment or contract. Just go somewhere else, like they said he would probably take too long shipping, or even take your money. As and ebay user for a while now, I can tell you sellers request their money fast, and good sellers are always e-mailing trying to help, this person doesn't look like he/she could be trusted.

jeez, newbies gotta start somewhere, just email before ypou buy to make sure hes ontop of things. I did this to some guy, i bought arp head studs off of him, and told hi i needed them fast, he didnt reply for a couple days, so i bought them from someone else, and told him he took to long and lost the deal, i cant remember if he was mad or not, but he didnt leave negative feedback. So i was happy.
