The seller failed to respond within the allotted time and the status of the claim now reads "Status: This claim has been decided in your favor and you'll receive a $130.00 USD refund.
What happens next: Please allow up to 7 days for the refund to appear in your account. Once the refund is complete, the case will be closed."

The seller has notified me via PM through style forum this morning that he was out of the country to attend a death in the family. I will give him and benefit of the doubt and take his word at face value.

Thanks to everyone for the support and advice throughout this process. I appreciate your help greatly.

GO CELTICS!

Was he out of the country for that long of a time period? Did he ever ship the watch?

He claims that the watch was shipped. If it was shipped, it has been a month and a half and it still hasn't arrived. It was either, stolen, lost, stuck in customs, or was never shipped to begin with... I got my money back and if the item does ever arrive, I will paypal it back to him. I am satisfied that I got my money back.

Did he offer to show you the paperwork?

Never ship U.S. to Canada. Stuff goes into customs and does not come out. Plenty of threads mention this.

no paper works. paypal didn't request them because he didn't respond to the claim.

i think it's hit and miss. usually i get stuff from the states within 3-5 days. never had a problem until now. i had a package from HK go missing for 2 weeks, but that's the longest i had to ever wait.

I also don't buy the death in the family bit. Possible? Of course. Likely? Nope.
