Also had a problem with a seller from Centralia - bought a cross-pol filter
just before Christmas - no reply to a number of e-mails over about a month.
But, once I filed a complaint through paypal they replied immediately
(saying the item had been posted) & the filter turned up a few days later.
So, there may be some hope.

Well Piers, I bought an Auto Connector for my OM-2n from this 'person'
early January and had zero, repeat zero, communication from him. I sent
him the money USD43 via PayPal which included his shipping cost and I'm
still waiting for the goods.
So Zuiks, leave this gentleman (or lady as the name I have could be
either gender) well alone!
John, who's wondering what course, if any, I can take to get my money back,
Sydney, Oz.
