See if you can locate his number and call him. They could of had a computer issue. Most of the time I will call someone before I send them money just to make sure I have another  way to contact them.

I really dislike lack of communication.

If it's for the Encore grip and forearm, the seller was logged on this afternoon.

Stuff happens to all of us unexpected.....I had a deal in the works a good while back and the computer got a bug, died a painful death and it resulted in a whole new system/file exchange, etc., about a 2wk mess. It underscored for me that the previously mentioned 2nd level of non-computer comm is pretty important for both parties,
Glad your situation worked out for both of you, but to answer the question posed, I guess Id go with about 2 weeks of no or bad (read: stringing you along) comm. even though I suffered through a rip-off hustler for about a month before I gave up (let GB know & dude was gone in short order too). Ya kinda know in your gut when its been long enough.......
