    whats a reasonable amount of time to give someone to post something or at least read their PM's ?

    That is up to you to decide. If someone continues to post regularly yet isn't responding to PM's, that's not good enough in my opinion, though that is purely my opinion.

    I'd be inclined to casually drop into a thread they're posting on & ask if they'd got the pm I sent re. items I'd bought as they hadn't yet arrived, could be an honest mistake somewhere along the lines - how long since you sent payment?

    ive been waitin 7 days but others who also bought from him have been waiting nearly 3 weeks.

    one of the other lads waiting for stuff has already mentioned something in another thread he ahd been posting on and he did respond to that and said he would send ASAP and he had just forgotten but that was about 4 days ago and still nothing.

    as i say i am a trsutong person and currently trying to give him benefit of teh doubt as he has over 1000 posts on here but last 2 PM's ive sent havent even been looked at and during that time he has been posting elswewhere

    Hmmm - if i'd been waiting 3 weeks for stuff i'd already paid for, with no response to pms whilst the guy is still obviously active on the forum, i'd personally be hijacking every thread he posted on demanding my money back immediately. 3 weeks (in the other buyers' case) is taking the piss, if he's got time to post on the forum, he's obviously got time to package stuff up & take it to the post office.
