It was processed through his home PO today so at least it's on its way now.
Same here, I am almost positive we must have ordered from the same guy.
I heckled him a bit this morning, reminding him to check up on my package today and warning him I would follow up with eBay if this thing isn't en route like he was claiming. His response was to tell me he would go to the post office and have them recall the package so he could refund me and not deal with me. I don't even know if that's a real thing you can do, but I told him I was only interested in a refund if he was admitting he hadn't sent it yet. He doubled down on his story that it was already mailed out and got even more pissy about it.
It finally got accepted at his local post office just after that. I sent him a snarky message about that amazing coincidence, and he snarked back. Eventually he called me a crybaby and I responded that he was a lying liar who lies. He finally told me he was going to go through with "recalling" the package (which he said he had tracked to Texas somehow in the 4 hours since it had arrived at his California post office) and refunding my money to cancel the sale. Neither of which has happened yet, but eh, who knows? It looks like there are plenty out there to buy now, so either way will work for me.
It just rankles me that he printed the shipping on Friday and didn't ship it til Wednesday, then pawned it off as a post office error. It feels to me like he took the sales he made and used that money to buy the figures afterward. And that's not in and of itself a bad thing as long as it is done in good faith. I keep my own costs down by only printing and assembling an item I sell after it has sold. But I tell the buyer that is what is happening up front, disclose a 3-5 day handling time in the listing, and only print the label to start the tracking when I am going to put it in the mailbox. Maybe I took it too personal because he was "cheating" to get better seller ratings than I can by playing straight? I dunno.
