So, I bought Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 from seller labboy1990 on May 02, 2011. The seller claims to have shipped the game Last Tuesday from Clinton, Mississippi and provided a delivery confirmation number. I just checked the tracking and it still says:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on May 03, 2011 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
I live in Quincy, IL, which isn't far from MS. What should I do? I hope it didn't get lost in the mail or fall in the Mighty Mississippi River.

1) Did you pay for insurance?
2) Have you tried to get in contact with the seller? I mean, 7 business days since the guy initiated the shipping process, most likely by printing a label. How do you know something hasn't caused him/her to not be able to ship it?
3) If you've gotten in contact with the Seller, your next courses of action are to get in touch with eBay and PayPal (assuming you used PayPal to buy it).

I sent him a message on Thursday and he said he did send it Tues. I sent him another one like 6 hours ago but he hasn't responded. Depending on what he says, I may open a case. |

Something to keep in mind is USPS tracking is awful. I've ordered plenty of things that don't get their tracking info updated past the "electronically notified" stage until they arrive at my doorstep. I would advise that you don't open a case until it's been 14 business days since he shipped with two exceptions: 1) The seller gets excessively defensive/aggressive to your questions. 2) The seller had information giving an expectation of how long it should arrive other than how quickly he would put it in the mail and the estimation that eBay itself provides. There's no legal/rule reason to wait, other than avoiding looking like a jerk by filing a complaint only to have to cancel it because you didn't wait long enough. |

I can sympathise with you mate i am in a similar but even craptier position i bought a great rare item on ebay cost me 200 but should of easily hit 600-1000 i got so lucky so the seller tells me he sent it and it should have taken only 3 days to get to me, now its been 3 weeks and the seller is been a real prick. he tells me he has a receipt but no tracking number i asked him for the barcode number on the receipt but he wont give me it. it not so much the 200 ill get that back but i really want the item guess the seller really was pissed it went for less than he should have got and now he is letting on he sent it when he didnt so i will claim back my money and in few weeks it will be back on ebay

Just to play devil's advocate (because I LOATHE eBay), how much did the game wind up going for? 'Cause it goes for about $8 on the much more reputable Amazon.

It's been 8 days. Ish. Seriously. Chill out about it.
Have you never used Ebay before? Ever?

You're calling the seller a scammer after only 9 days? You need to wait. Usually packages take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks for delivery.
Just relax and wait at least 2 weeks before you start panicing.
Maybe your local post office stinks? I know mine stinks BIGTIME. I usually get Sale adds (for local grocerystores) on Saturday when the sales started on Tuesday.

That's what I'm selling. People on here are making you fu*king paranoid about nothing mate. Just chill.
Tell you what, the other day I sold some item's on Ebay, but didn't send them to about a week or so after. I was busy. I told the guy's I sent them. Guess what? I didn't.
(now, Don't get me wrong. On here, I feel this is a close-knit community, and sent all the items I sold or agreed to trade the next day - and everybody I've dealt with can vouche for me.)
It doesn't mean your being scammed. Just wait
Also, roller Coaster Tycoon 2 Sucks.

Also, roller Coaster Tycoon 2 Sucks. I can vouch for that I loaned it and its expansion to a friend. Then he took my bike without asking and we broke up are BF friendship. Yeah he never gave back the game and yet I never really cared. The game is boring. Why didn't you get her a newer one? I am a fan of tycoon games so it can't be that why I hated it. |

She used to have it but the she played it too much and it eventually stopped working. |

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is a great game. I agree that 9 day's is excessive. I too would think something might be wrong. 1 to 3 weeks for a shipment? That's nuts.

My PO is alright. I've never had a package lost in the mail or recieved/ sent late before so I really don't know why you are acting a lot worse than me. |
