    There was a thread here where someone said that a seller was a scammer because he had not done the job after a few days.
    I suggested that you need to give people a little lee way on the time.
    Now i am faced with a situation where I have paid but am getting no response from the seller who has now not posted on DP since 15th Jan

    So am i wrong to be patient ?

    If you buy some thing and pay quickly how long is too long to get some response from the seller ?

    At what point in time do you decide that you think you may have been scammed ?

    2 days can be consider long but it depends on what kind of answer you want to get.

    check his last activity date and time. if he is come and not giving u response then take any action.

    and if he is not come then may be that he is facing any personal problem and wait for his online or u can open a dispute on paypal if u r pay via paypal.

    and in my suggestion 7 days is enough

    I'd say around 2-3 days for this type of thing. Depends on the purchase and services offered. Have you tired sending just a normal email outside of DP? Perhaps they are having trouble accessing the site.

    Hope you get contact soon, can be a little annoying.
