Need some advice

Last week, TeamIkon (a member here on 7thgencivic) posted parts for sale on Marketplace. Some of these parts were a used AEM CAI With a broken filter ($90USD) and Eibach Sportline Springs, 5 months old ($100USD). I have been e-mailing him back and forth, his e-mail address being ProjectCivic01@aol.com. He gave me his address and name. I did a money order for him and sent it out using UPS yesterday. I haven't heard anything from him in a couple of days, but he says he will be out of town but my parts are all packaged and everything. I searched White pages for his name and address, and zip code but could not find anything. I need some advice, maybe I should put the money order on hold until I hear back from him.. I don't know..

if he said he's on vacation or out of town, then he probably is...

just wait a couple of days, and try not to jump to conclusions.......not EVERYONE in the world is evil (i hope anyway)

that's the way I'm looking at it, not everyone in the world is trying to screw other people.

Gusto, you said I will have to pay a lot of duties at the border. I told him to put "Used Auto Parts" on the description, I told him to put a low value also.

Last time I used PayPal I read that they only protect you if you're in the United States and they can't do anything if you're from Canada.

BUT from what I heard, if you report someone in, they will remove the money and put it back into your account. =)

So I like PayPal =)

OR you can try the CIBC service where it's similar to PayPal but it's Canadian so you should be protected.
