So I sold a pair of eg1 or 5 idk what they were but they were the rasta pinstripe ones on ebay to a kid. Idk if hes on here or not but if you are pm me. He paid on the 8th but a family member had a stroke so i could not send them out till like the 12th. I emailed im sayig they have been shipped USPS first class but they could have been sent out pirority(sp?). We have been exchanging emails a few times because he has yet to recieve them. On the 23 yesterday he write me saying he should have them by now( He lives in CA and I live in NY, totally across the country.) and he thinks i scamed him. Now I have a recipt with his name, package id#, and the date it was sent for proof and i said i could take a pic of it before and he said not to worry about it. Now im worried he is going to file a paypal claim only after awiting 10 days. When i bought Skis off on Malone it took 3 weeks from when he shipped. How long does it normally talk to ship USPS across the country?

I thought you were going to post a link of a kid being sold on ebay for a minute there.
Yeah, sorry can't help you out on this one, you offered a photo and he didnt take it, I don't think he'll file a fraud.

yeah thats what I am going to do. Everything i sell usually taked like 10days max but iv never shipped this far. And for the usps traking it does track it tell you that it has been shipped ad tell you when you have recieved it. After 2 weeks i think you can get ahold of them and they will try to track it down

If it was regular it should take 7-10 business days. Priority 2-5. It took a week to get skis from CA through fedex whatever is the equivalent of ground.
