OP sounds like he's brand new to eBay. Texting a seller? Use the messaging system that eBay has setup for buyers to contact sellers. If the item has not shipped within a week or so, then file a claim.

Hope it all comes out in the wash.
I don't even like to order much of anything, much rather see the item before I buy. I know I am prob missing a lot of good deals, but it hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

I don't care how much it costs him to ship. Thats his problem. Start a dispute as soon as you can. Although you were asking to be scammed when you made a deal outside e-bay, so maybe you are getting what you asked for.

It says in my first post I won both auctions.... I didn't make a deal out side eBay. Thanks everyone else for the advise. Isent him the one message through eeBay last night and this afternoon I got an email from eBay saying he provided a tracking number. Now it just shows its for the seat not the programmer I'm sure both would be in one box. I will give it a few days and see what happens. The way business was conducted on his part was garbage. If I leave him negative feed back he will then most likely leave me negative just because he is mad. I don't want negative feedback on my eBay name. And he hasn't left me any feedback yet.

Exactly. I just got 2 dozen golf ***** off ebay & the seller shipped 1 dozen. I used the message system which also leaves a record of all communication. It automatically opened a case & the seller responded that it was his mistake & got the other ***** in the mail the same day. Use the system, it works. As for the naysayers that think all is bad with ebay, they don't have a clue.
Also since he is trying to wiggle some more $$$ from you for shipping, you need to open a dispute immediately.
Here's how mine went:
Here's what just happened:
We're sorry to hear that "Bridgestone Tour B330-RXS Bright White Golf Ball 2 Dozen -" didn't match the seller's description. You've opened a case, and we've notified the seller that you requested a replacement for the item.Here's what you need to do next:
Please allow a few days for the seller to respond to your case in the eBay Resolution Center.
If the seller doesn't respond or if you aren't satisfied with the seller's response to your request by Nov 05, 2013, please let us know. On that date, you can escalate your case to eBay Customer Support. A customer support agent will then review your case and get back to you with a decision within 48 hours.
Here's his answer:
"so sorry ....my mistake....i will be shipping out the other dozen of ***** today. Mar"
2nd missing box sent via USPS PRIORITY mail today. Take Care. Mar
"package is on the way....please keep me posted....estimating you should see in mail by Friday...Saturday at the latest. Take care."
Case closed when the ***** arrive & positive feedback will be given. **** happens.

From Ebay:
While sellers can leave a positive Feedback rating and a comment for buyers, they can't leave negative or neutral Feedback. Negative feedback discourages buyers from future transactions and can lead to lower sales. In addition, there are more effective ways for sellers to deal with issues with buyers. For example, if a buyer hasn't paid, you can open an unpaid item case in the Resolution Center. You can also block a buyer from purchasing items you've listed. Follow these selling tips to help avoid transaction problems.
