At least if they are still corresponding with you that is a good
sign. My son recently ordered an item off of ebay. I paid with pay
pal and never received the item. I repeatedly tried to contact the
seller and they would not respond to any of my emails. Finally I
filed a complaint with ebay and pay pal and that same day the seller
responded and refunded my money. I have never had any bad deallings
with anyone I know on a forum but as long as they are talking to you I
would give them the benefit of the doubt. If it does end up not going
well then I would post the situation just so other people don't end up
with the same problem.
