Advice - Probable E-Bay Scam

I was wondering what you lot thought about the following situation im in.

I bought a set of Technics SL1210-M5G's, Gemini PS626I 3 Channel Mixer and a Stanton Trackmaster 2SK Cart & Stylus Box Set.

I paid the guy and he said he would send it out, not heard anything till i put a paypal complaint form in then i get this :

Hello

So sorry! I am in greece! I have had no means of checking my emails until
now! I left my flat mate to send them! So sorry for this! I understand that
you will leave negative feedback!

I will get onto my flatmate asap and let you know what is going on as soon
as I do!

Once again, my apologies.

Stink of a con or not?

How much did you pay for them?? I've never bought anything off of eBay, precisely because of people like that. I just don't trust them with my money. If I was gonna buy expensive goods like DJing equipment, I'd definately buy from the manufacturer's website or a legitimate online store.

Well if he doesn't cough up the goods, let us know and I'll send the boys round...

Alright, this is just in my experience, but I have found that ANYONE who uses !!!'s instead of periods in emails/IMs/forums/ANYTHING is shady. Im not even kidding. Hahaha. Maybe its just a random correlation tho...
