did i do the right thing well here is the deal, i bought a hood off of another member i gave them a post dated check until 1 nov the problem is i tried sending pms and emails since the 16th of oct with no response. My girlfriend is handling my purchases while i am in iraq and left several messages on the phone with no answeres, she also said a few times it would sound like someone flipped open the phone and shut it right away then she would call back and it would go straight to voice mail. so now i am freaking out at the thought of being ripped off for 800 dollars so i use my last phone call of the week to try and get hold of them with no luck of course. so i called the bank and put a stop payment on the check and send the seller an email stating what had happened (me not being able to get hold of them) and tell my girlfriend to call and leave a message stating what had happened i also sent another email to them stating what had happend. Low and behold they call back within minuets of the voice mail stating that this is the first time they had heard i had been trying to contact them so i tell them that the check is no good now and that i would paypal them the payment all good right; no there paypal is messed up, understandable i guess well i tell them that if i have a routing number and acct number i will gladly wire the money to there acct when the hood is recieved. Well i was supposed to receive an email today with no result so i have decided to scrap the hood idea and put the money towards something else. please let me know if i handled the situation reasonably or if i am way out of line thank you.
ya i would personally scrap the idea too, its too shady to me to risk the $800 again, at least yo uwere able to stop the payment on the check, its a little suspicious that he called right back once you said you were going to cancel the check even though you had been trying to call all that time...
also , their paypal is messed up? how can your paypal be messed up? i wouldnt trust that at all, i'd just look elsewhere or buy something else
goodluck!

well i sent them an email tonight calling the deal off and again immediate response, but just to let you all know they claim to say they were not getting the messages and i am not there to verify that but i will chock this up to communication errors and hold no hard feelings towards them.

Would the seller have a screen name that involves silver? Just wondering if you are the same guy that asked me for some info about this seller? If it's who I think it is, I can honestly say I don't think they would rip you off.
