Concert tickets not arrived

Oh god......I am new to all this e-bay lark and am getting myself in a right state. I won bid for 2 concert tickets last week - the concert is for Thursday this week. Guy wouldn't accept paypal so paid cheque which has been cashed (hope that wasn't the first mistake). I have been in regular e-mail correspondence with him....he claimed to have posted the tickets special delivery yesterday which means guarunteed for arrival by 1pm today....guess what....they haven't turned up. I wrote again asking him for reference number to trace letter....he provided a number which is not registering on the royal mail site yet. I called Royal Mail who said that it is not even in their system yet as being despatched from a main office maybe it will arrive tomorrow. Starting to get that nauseous feeling that I have been got!!!!! The guy had 100% feedback and has been trading since 04 so thought it seemed OK. What should I do now???

Sounds like he might have sent them by recorded delivery instead of Special Delivery, but don't worry, I'm sure they'll arrive tomorrow.

Thanks guys - feel really bad as he has e-mailed tonight to say sorry for the complete mess and he is going to post office first thing with receipt in hand (as proof of post). Fingers crossed they turn up tomorrow!!

Hmmmmm - wish it had been that simple. Think I was got unfortunately. The tickets never turned up - he claimed to send me a cheque as refund......it has not arrived. At the same time he did miraculously got hold of 2 spare tickets the day of the concert, and my dad had to go meet him to collect (no money changed hands!!). Get the feeling that he never posted the tickets and held onto them thinking he could get more...then realised that he couldn't so rapidly chickened out and suddenly came up with the goods. Not a great first e-bay experience. I am trying to deal with this in an adult manner with him - i.e. trying to get him to come clean before I write negative feedback.....lets see what happens!! My dad said he was REALLY nervous when he met him and only a school boy!!
