Now after all this time ( Payment was sent 5th MAY 2011) He send me another e-mail telling me that he had problems with the parts and asked if I wanted a refund. I accepted to be refunded but I received no money in my account. I am thinking that this was a big rip off from some one who is very well known over here. He stole 550 GBP which that time were 627 euros. it is very disappointing to have waited all this time for the parts now he says he can't deliver. I can't understand..... especially that I gave him a call and he told me that he will send the parts next week...this was just before a show in Donnigton last month.........

Now what should I do?
