On June 1st, I sent $80 (PayPal instant payment). That was after you replied to my email by stating:
Been riding quite a bit and did let you know that the items have shipped. They should be in your hands the first of the week, according to the usps lady, which I also stated in my reply. It takes a day or two for items to make their way from Indy to WA. Since shipping was on my dime it didn't go priority (shipping was $20 as it was. priority would have been over $40). Sorry I don't have a tracking number to forward to you, I hope a copy of the receipt will suffice.
Let’s be completely honest here. The truth is that from June 1st, when I made payment, I didn't receive any specific response to my payment from you. And never did I receive a report that items shipped. During our initial dialog on June 1st, your made the reply "Items have been spoken for. SPF.". Is that what you are referring to? To be fair, that was rather vague, it could have been taken either way. I was left guessing if my payment actually arrived...and if it did perhaps after someone else's??? Finally, today (June 7) you wrote, “Been riding quite a bit and did let you know that the items have shipped". Sorry, the “let you know” part is a false statement. When and where did you provide that info? Again I received nothing from you. And 3 days later I had to ask about shipping even though I had no specific confirmation that payment was actually received by you in the 1st place.Been riding quite a bit and did let you know that the items have shipped.

I kinda take exception to the insinuation that I'm trying to screw you. I've done lots of buying and selling on forums with never a bad word either way. I generally give a person more than 24 hours before I start making accusations. The best bet would have been to email me directly, instead on PM'ing me as I don't visit this site often, for a quicker responce (this is also stated im my original post and how you contacted me to begin with).
Man, it takes all kinds!
Do you get my point? I hope so. Maybe next time you become unavailable during a purchase, inform the buyer. Inform the buyer either directly with email (PayPal payments provide email addresses of purchasers) or with a PM, that you received funds but will be unavailable to communicate for a certain period of time. Some form of communication that is clear and direct. That would have preempted all this fuss, something we both would have preferred, right? BTW, I used to live up (North) near Peru & Kokomo, IN. but I didn't have a bike back then. I suppose the best roads are down south in the hills! We have hills/mountains here, but finding dry roads is the trick. Happy & safe riding!
