A bit sidetrack here. 2 years back, I wanted a Nokia Phone not available in Singapore so I sent a brank draft to this UK Guy. After he receivde my funds, his website disappeared and he stopped corresponding to me.
I immediately called the bank to stop the bankdraft. Had to pay S$35 for charges and it was 1 month after I've sent the bankdraft. The person has received the bankdraft too and cashed it. Thank goodness the bankdraft wasn't cleared *yet*. So I managed to get my money back!
Lesson here is : Don't buy from unreliable sources..no matter how tempting it is
Hmmm, maybe i should try. But the worse thing is that this seller jus merely stop corresponding but there is still no confirmation that the package wont arrive. Perhaps i should jus wait for a couple more days.
Btw, the money is sent directly to the sellers account and not via any other modes like Western Union etc. Thats why i have the sellers details including account no,. name and home address. Hope that could serve as evidence and a source of clues in getting him/her.
