Default Advice needed.e_bay rip off?

I bid and won a sony 10 cd changer 2 weeks ago but have not received the item.i have e_mailed the seller quite a few times to ask what was going on and the only reply I got (last weekend)was that he was out of the country on an unscheduled trip (he made out he would be back this week).I just e-mailed to say that if I dont receive it today then i am going to report him to e-bay and pay pal.Strange thing is that he has left me positive feedback saying thanks for your patience.What the hell do you do?Should I wait or do you think he is trying to pull a fast one?

Cheers Chris.I will mate.Nelly,its been 2 weeks now.Its difficult because if he is genuine I dont want to drop him in it.I dont mind waiting 6 months if I eventually get it but I dont like being ripped off either.Right i am off to pay pal.

definalely get onto pay-pal and report him. He should'nt advertise if he knows he is gonna be out of the country. I bought a PSP last Xmas from a fake site, waited and waited, kept sending e-mails and getting replies to be patient. I was shitting it cos Xmas was coming and my little boy was desperate for one. When I reported them to pay pal they had hundreds of complaints and was a fake site. I got my cash back no problem.

Hope you get sorted
Effy
