Please HELP, got ripped off by someone in Canada
About a month ago I purchased a set of taillights through an ad that this guy had on his eBay auction. I contacted the user and asked if he can sell me his extra set. I then paid him $180.00 via paypal. After 30 days, I have not received my taillights and the seller claims that he shipped it out. He gave me a tracking number (canada post) that was untrackable. I filed a complaint against him via paypal to get me my money back, paypal determined that he was at fault but was not able to recover any funds from his account.
Does anyone happen to know this person?

To anyone who could assist on this matter I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You.

Dude, you sure that tracking # is not valid??
Here's the scoop in tracking #'s via canada post. They work WITHIN Canada, when it gets to the US, it no longer works, when you get the package, a few days later on the website you'll see you got it.
Stupid YES, shippers fault no.
I would wait a big longer, things going to the US can be stuck in customs, 30 days is not long enough to wait, seriously could take longer. I know it sucks.
On the other hand this guy could have screwed you, but I would call Canada Post with your tracking number and ask them what's going on.

I did call Canada Post customer service and the actual post office wher ehe is claiming he shipped it from. No records of the tracking number.
How long or what's the longest wait you guys had when shipping a package from canada to the us or vice versa?
I do not really mind waiting as long sa I have some solid proof that it really got shipped. But the tracking number situation is really fishy.

Before that, try the US custom. One time my friend who's stuff got hold at US custom because they are doing some "serious" check on the item..... good luck.
