I posted a rifle for sale in the E.E.

A member sent me an I.M. and an email within 2 1/2 hrs of my post to say "I'll take it". I sent him my info and have tried to contact him and had no response within 72hrs.

I have sold other items on here before and never had this poor of communication. How long should I wait?

72 hours seems plenty.  I'd move on.

why cant he leave neg feedback? the guy is a dead beat buyer if he says "I'll take it" and doesn't.

How long you wait is entirely up to you, but 72 hours is quite a while. If you had more communication with him than just his "I'll take it", I might give him more time.

EE rules say your account can be locked.  Shit happens, but communication is the key.  If he did it to me, but had a reasonable explanation, I'd let it go.  Not the case here.
