anyone ever been scammed on this site?

wondering if anyone has ever sent money to a member on this site for an item and never received the item? I'd like to think the best about everyone in the world...after you've sent the money, how many days after without any responses should you start feeling worried?

Thanks guys.

Have you contacted the individual? How did you pay? If he/she is not responding to your communications after a couple of days, that would be a red flag to me. There will always be dishonest people in the world, and as the saying goes, "BUYER BEWARE". If the seller does not respond, you can always post a thread alerting other Forum members. Good luck.

I made contact with the individual on this site through a forum thread to buy something and then through PM's sent back and forth. I sent payment on jan 29th we had conversations back and forth until jan 31st where he said he would rush to the post office that day to send it and give me tracking. I haven't heard back since then. It sucks to say but it is true. I am going to wait until tues day to see if the item actually gets here before i do anything.
