Thanks Daegor, the detractors really do not bother me.   I am fair and honest in my dealings on here and on any other service.  I fully expect to receive the record as the user did have a very good rating.   However, when your PM's are ignored, then after stating in the thread  that you would like an update, then they say "I sent it, PM me" and you have already PM'd twice, and they still haven't responded, you do tend to question if things are on the up and up.   Apparently no one (or very few) on this board have ever been screwed in a deal on the internet.   Unfortunately, I have.  
 
Tellallyourfriends, I really admire your originality (sarcasm, since you may not get it).   And let me break this down for you, since you seem to be having an issue comprehending it.   I am not impatient.  I did not ask for the record right away.   I simply asked for communication.   One record I bought off Discogs last year was a similar situation.   I bought it, two days later the guy messages me saying he is out of town on a convention (he taught at a college).   He stated it would be a week to ten days before he was back in town, then he would ship it.   And he did just that.   Wonderful transaction, left his great feedback as he did me.  You seem to blur the lines between impatiently wanting a product now and an expected level of merchant courtesy.  
 
Also, you are correct in that I did start this thread after 3 days.  But what you seem to be missing is I was curious if this was the norm.   Most of my purchases have been on discogs, amazon, or ebay.  In almost all instances, there has never been a delay, not even of three days.  And my concern was generated because we had a good conversation going until the money was sent, then it stopped.   You can try to convolute things so that it fits into your distorted view of reality thus giving you a soapbox to preach on, but I really don't give a fuck.  Opening a dispute with the seller here is nothing I would even consider unless it went more than 10 to 14  days without any appropriate communication.   That may be impatient in some of your eyes, but from some of the PM's I have received, I'd say it's not.   
 
Per usual, I do appreciate the constructive replies. 

Wanted to get some of you regulars insight on this as both of these purchases are new to me.
 
1.) On February 4th I ordered some records from Shop Radio Cast.  At the time of placing the order, all showed "in stock" except one.  It was listed as on backorder with a 3 to 5 day window.  On the evening of February 7th, I logged into SRC to check the status of the order.  I still had the same disposition, and when I clicked "order details", I repeatedly received an error.  
 
I emailed customer service and was emailed back with "well a couple of your items are on backorder, we will get them in next week and ship."  So it went from 1 being on backorder, to a couple.   After not seeing any status change for this week, I logged back in last night and it now shows all four I ordered to be on backorder.  
 
I have, unfortunately, since read numerous horror stories about dealing with SRC.   I am thinking about contacting my bank and disputing the charge as SRC has failed to complete their contractual obligation and they are no longer responding to my emails.  
 
How long should I wait before doing so?
 
2.) On Wednesday, I purchased an LP from a user on VC message boards.   I will refrain from using the users name at this point, as i am not sure if something has happened that has caused a slow response.   I sent a message inquiring on a price, he responded quickly.  I then sent a message inquiring condition, the response was once again quick.   I then went to paypal and paid for the album, which was 3:38 PM CST.  
 
Since paying for the album, I have received no messages, although the seller has logged in numerous times.   He has given me no status updates.  I sent a PM last night asking if he was going to be able to provide a tracking#.  He has been on and read this message and declined to respond.  Should I be worried?   The seller has a good feedback history. 

you are correct, he did say it in the thread but continued to ignore my PM's, although he requested that I PM him and he would give me all of the information there.   Maybe it is insanity.  I really don't know.  Thus again, why I started the topic.  I have gotten some PM's from some users who say 10 to 14 days with no real communication is warranted.   I think he will produce.   But considering some past internet dealings, I try to guard myself and more importantly, my money.

I have already had one transaction and it was fine.  I have purchased over 100 albums from Discogs and never had 1 issue, in fact 100% rating.  Again, not expecting it to be here NOW, but communication within 8 days is not an absurd request.  I really couldn't give a fuck if you choose to sell to me or not.  I understand things happen in life.  But when you repeatedly log on and ignore PM's then SPECIFICALLY tell me to PM you when I already have, seems a bit odd.

Sorry Jerseypride, I will try to use more profanity and sentence fragments in an attempt to fit in from this moment forth.   I may even sling feces, since that is about as germane to the topic as your reply.
 
XXsilence, for three days after I made the initial order, they all maintained the same status they had previously.  It wasn't until last night that the status on each individual record had changed.   Granted, prior to that I wasn't even unable to view it due to what they deemed a technical error.

This is BS, selling on eBay is hard enough without having to worry about record nerds and "over-grading"
I mean, you got a refund AND kept the record?
Is the record listenable?
Was it THAT expensive?
In my opinion you should have maybe received a partial refund AND left positive feedback, especially if the refund came from the sellers money. 

Bake, report it to eBay. It is completely unacceptable, they don't take these types of things lightly.

You are right and I apologize for getting off topic and being a jerk.
But in all seriousnes, SRC press some Stank records!

90% of music posted on here is turrible. But this guy gets boned because he's new, typical.

Just picked up a few on ShopRadioCast....
 
Banner Pilot - Hearts Bleed Pacific
 
I was really into the snotty punk sound of Fat Wreck when I was much younger (Strung Out, Nofx, Lagwagon, Screeching Weasel, etc) but admittedly fell out of that sound for awhile as I grew older.  But hearing these guys recently on Pandora and hearing they were signed to Fat Wreck has kind of reengerized me. 
 
Off With Their Heads - Hospitals
 
Another band I just recently heard for the first time via Pandora.   Was really impressed with them and this was apparently their first EP.   Really excited to hear it.  I know one of the guys from Bad Religion said they were the best punk act out today.
 
The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
 
I have really gotten into the whole alt-country thing (or americana if you so prefer) over the last 5 years or so, especially with the emergence of Drive By Truckers and Jason Isbell (both having roots in my hometown).  This has lead me to bands like Two Cow Garage, Defiance Ohio and Lucero.  I really fell for The Weakerthans, again hearing them on Pandora, but was shocked to learn it was one of the guys from Propagandhi. 
 
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
 
One of my favorites cds from my 20's.  I can't have a complete collection without it.  Hope it is a good pressing. 

As I would equally appreciate a marked reference to the D.A.R.E. program in yours.

Thanks Tape.   I will look into it.   Scott, I listened to the album in its entirety on Youtube last night and I can't say there was a bad song on it.   Very excited to get it.

 

Now, if I could just post some asinine meme to indicate my lack of original thought and an obvious pervasive sense of comedic brilliance...
