When to File an Ebay Complaint, advice, and a rant.

I am going to wait until tomorrow and send another message to the ebayer, but for now I feel like ranting. First on the 25th of April I won a food dehydrator. Paid literally about an hour after the auction was won. I rarely use ebay, in fact this was my second purchase ever. I let a week pass and asked for a tracking number, saying I was in no hurry (a lie) but I was curious where It was.
He responded that he hadn't sent it yet and that he will get me one later that afternoon. He was very quick at replying. a plus. A few hours go by and he says he got it out to late and sent it USPS instead, and has no tracking number. No big deal, he said it would show up Monday. Well today is Thursday.
My rant extends to the fact that I ordered the same dehydrator Site to Store from walmart. It sat in a warehouse that was only about an hour away for a week. Two weeks after I ordered it I get an email saying Of, we lost it. Were not going to reorder it for you, but heres your money back. I've been trying for over a month to get a damnd' dehydrator. I don't have the space so I have to dry them in a room and have no one over for a few days when I need to dry a harvest. Grr!!!
so when should I file a complaint, and has anyone ever successfully done so. I'm using PayPal, and I remember seeing complaints on the subject. I know there are numerous other web resources to get my answer, but I felt like ranting and I have a legitimate question too. I hoping it comes tomorrow.

buy a fan and maybe a heat lamp/ heat pad for a very "slight" increased heat

well, my computer fans sitting on a file rack with a lap top cooler on top works well. But I also have fan blowing over a separate container with damprid in the bottom. It works, but you know a dehydrator is discrete, and I wouldn't find jerky.

I filed a complaint about a month after I placed my order. But just FYI, Paypal is extremely slow about processing claims. It took another month for me to get my refund...
Hope things turn out alright for you...

me too. The guy had ~50 ratings, and a few said. Took a little while to get here but everything was great. I'm slightly pissed it took him a week (if not longer) to ship after I paid, only to ship after I asked for a tracking number. Also, I've seen USPS tracking numbers before. Do you have to pay extra for that or something?

you can't get tracking numbers unless you go express domestic or foreign.
I believe registed may have them too
Other than that you just get delivery confirmation cuz USPS sucks ass

I have no clue whether USPS charges for a tracking number but i do know that their tracking system sucks. All it tells you is "The item may or may not have been shipped" and when it was delivered to you....

No there tracking system doesn't suck. Next time look at the number you put in, if it says "delivery confirmation" than that's what its for, not tracking. You get notice when its delivered.
The tracking numbers are updated several times a day.
