This has been ongoing for 3 months. Money received by seller Jan 15, 2014. I have received no communication since Jan 27, 2014. Then it was to be shipped that week (and I was ok with the two week delay, no problem, I'm reasonable). As of Feb 23rd I had not received it. Informed seller. No response. I reported it to PayPal. It was received the week of March 20th (again, with no communication from seller). March 26th I informed him of the damage. No response. PayPal claim reopened. No response. Waited yet week to inform this board.
Every attempt for the seller to resolve the situation amicably has been given via Paypal and texting (where most of the transaction occured). In addition to initially not shipping, and then damaged beyond use when it arrived, it appears that the part was attempted to be glued back together, something not disclosed to me when I purchased it. It was reasonably expensive as I was looking to get the right color red and I was willing to pay the gentleman for the right OEM part on my 30k mile car.
So no, its not he shipping's fault and I'm not trying to start sh!t either.
