Email me the details with a link to the ad, when you bought it, and so on and I will email him too.
I have never heard of any instance where people lost money but they have definitely had trouble with emails responses and slow shipping.
He has a warning at the start of his thread regarding some common issues.

Having trouble contacting the seller (Don).

I paid the seller $150 via paypal as a gift (as they requested) for the item:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2236564

Payment was sent 10/10/2021 and I sent an email to Don confirming that it was paid for within the hour.

I then asked when the item will be shipped on 10/16/2021 and got a reply on 10/16: "Monday" (nothing else in the email). This was the last time I heard from Don.

I then reached out on 10/20, 10/21 and 10/26 asking for confirmation / updates.

16 days with no shipping (following payment) and 10 days with no response at all from the seller is worrisome. At this point I'm slightly concerned that the item will never be shipped and I've been scammed out of $150.

Thanks for the constructive feedback wheel607. The all caps and 8 question marks in particular are super helpful. Thanks for your message!!!!!!!!

The purpose of my post is that I am continuing to document poor seller behavior. No, I did not find this thread before ordering from this seller. If I had then of course I wouldn't have purchased anything from him as you so astutely pointed out.

With that said, I'm not sure this thread's existance is a reasonable excuse for the seller to continue ignoring customer emails. Just because he is known by those lucky enough to come across this thread as a "very SLOW sender" doesn't really excuse taking someone's money, taking 16 days to send the item (and counting) while ignoring all attempts at contact for 10 days.

Honestly, I'd be fine with: "hey, I got your email and I'm not able to ship the item for a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience". But hearing nothing at all after 3 email attempts over a week is not acceptable.

I propose the admins require that classifieds posts from the seller's account have a link to this thread (so it's more easily discoverable), or he works to improve customer communication.

I bought a wiper arm from Don for my 66 Type II. He responded to email questions right away and posted and additional picture when requested. Quick shipping, tracking info included. Excellent transaction! Thanks!

Well, 2 weeks and counting since I bought the license plate bracket for my oval. Keeps saying (when he finally responds), TOMORROW.
I hope tomorrow finally comes for him, as winter is coming and all good bugs will be garaged for the season. Rolling Eyes

I finally received the part I ordered from Don. Next time I will surely check feedback before ordering. At least I will know what I'm in for.

Still, having people post feedback about a seller's habits doesn't excuse bad practices. Saying what you believe will appease a buyer just to get them off your back is not a good way to be know in theSamba community.

PS. The part was very nice!

I spent a few days taking pics for him on an item he said he'd buy only to have him ghost me.
i wont be buying or selling him anything as no one likes a time waster.

I already knew he’d take his time with shipping, but I was in no hurry. Don supplied me with additional pictures on request and I’d read that, although not the fastest shipper, he was a stand up guy, so I knew what to expect when I bought the VW accessory tissue dispenser. He promised it was perfect, and it was. It’s beautiful.
Sure, it took a while to get it, but, like I said, I knew this beforehand.
Thanks Don.

I purchased a tent panel from Don and all went smooth. He answered my questions in a timely manner and shipped immediately. Stay in contact with a shipping number until I received the panel.

Would not hesitate to do business with him again.

I purchased a pair of 1970 Bug Rear Bumper Reflectors on 7DEC, today is the 22nd (15 days), I am still waiting for them to show up. I know he was slow to ship, but good grief.

Update: Received an email reply from Don on 22DEC, says they will ship on Tuesday (26DEC).
