What to do when seller does not send item paid for


Hi I recently (about two weeks ago) purchased a pair of cables from a seller here on AG. The seller said he would be sending the cables out right away. I paid him with a money order. Here it is two weeks later and I have not heard a word as to whether he even received my money (I'm sure he did). I e-mailed him many times and left voice mail messages on his cell phone telling him I was concerned and he hasn't responded back. His email address is hotmail. I hate to think I have been scammed. They really should have been here by now if he sent them. He is only a few states away. I know sometimes things take longer than expected in the mail but the fact that he hasn't contacted me even once really concerns me. What should I do??

I recently purchased a pair of interconnects from a member in France. I was concerned about shipping delays, but was assured that five days was the norm. Well, my m.o. was received in five days via USPS and the seller said he would send the cables on 8/3. Seventeen days later no cables, no response to e-mails. They were to be sent by French postal service so there's apparently no tracking available. I'm a bit annoyed since the reasonable shipping time promised was a factor in my decision to buy.

I do live in Texas, so maybe the last leg of their journey is being made by horseback.
