How long do you give some one to respond to PM (after youve paid) before you start getting concerned you may have neen scammed?

As the title states, I've bought some reefing gear from a member here. Paid on Monday, iirc and haven't heard from them since. I've messaged the seller twice (yesterday then again today... crickets). Their profile shows that they were active at 9:30 this morning.

What do you guys think, should I be concerned at this point? Fwiw, it was a $570 purchase.

Did you use a protected type of payment?

Did you use a protected type of payment?

Absolutely. Used PayPal "goods and services."

Since you paid on Monday, and it's now Thursday, I would post a thread in the feedback section and tag the seller.
Explain the difference in dates, being 4 days.
I would simply ask the seller if the transaction was still going forward.
Give him a chance to respond.
Be friendly, courteous.
Doing this in private hasn't worked so going public is the next step.

If there was a issue on his end, let him explain.
If it goes through, be sure to post the feedback.
Sometimes peoples schedules get messed up and life has priorities.
