About a month or so ago, I ordered about $275 worth of equiptment (gun stuff, seller name and product withheld at this time). I paid with a personal check. From looking at my bank records, the check cleared on 8/12. My stuff has not arrived yet.

Yesterday, I sent the seller an e-mail informing him that I noticed my check had cleared, and asking him for the status. I have yet to hear from him.

All of the arrangements were made via e-mail. This was not a purchase from an individual, this was a purchase from a company (however I think that at best it is a one man operation).

Do I have any recourse, or am I going to have to chalk this up as a $275 lesson is internet commerece?

He posts here, and I believe that he does sell here. I am waiting to see if he gets back to me. If not, I am definately going to red alert!

Save all the emails.

Keep making attempts to contact, and record specifics of your efforts (date, time, phone number; email self-evident).

Once check clears, I see NO reason that you should not have received notice that your items have been shipped.  

Was there any promise on when it would ship once the check cleared?

I'm giving him 1 more e-mail, and another 24 hours to get back to me. If he does not, I fully intended to post news of my robbery.

The seller contacted me, gave a reasonable explanation for the delay and provided me with a tracking number for my package.

All is well with the world once again!
