Question : If a person is to sell you some cds in a mail deal and
ostensibly agrees to do the deal quick - then, for some unexplained
reason doesn't respond to repeated emails after your cheque has cleared
the bank, how long does one wait before posting a warning to other
IDMers? Keep in mind that the mail is slow this time of year and people
are busire than usual, although that certainly wouldn't prevent them
from replying to the mail...especially when they are posting to the IDM
list in the same timeframe. And if you're reading this, you know who you
are. No names...yet. I'll be as fair as I think appropriate. It's not
polite to leave folks hanging, though. All I ask is for a reason NOT to
fear the worst.
