Did you ''snail mail'' a check? A postal money order can be tracked..if by credit card or Paypal--these can also be tracked. I think I would pay for the items again if you're positive they never got payment, and wait to be reimbursed when the orig payment arrives. If it never does, a check never cashed will never debit your acct. The person sounds honest, so I think they will return your money whenever.
I get so annoyed with my mail carrier--she drops our mail at wrong boxes all over the neighborhood, and we get other peoples' mail, as well. To forestall it being wrongly delivered again, we deliver ourselves. Sometimes it looks important. She is nearing retirement, and we look forward to it. LOL Numerous folks have complained to the office, but she's still out there!! So your mail could have gone to the wrong box and the recipient just trashed it.

If you sent a check and it has not yet been cashed then I would definitely send another check. Things do get lost in the mail. This seems to be happening to me more often lately.

It was the seller's decision to send the items to you. Accept that and move on.

I would pay for the items if the check wasn't cashed. If it was Wal Mart or Sears I'd move on but a small seller I would pay even if they offered the items for free. It is so hard to make money for the small businesses

If there was no evidence that payment had been received, I would send another payment.

It sure sounds like the seller is showing good faith by giving you the benefit of the doubt. If it's been a month of emails back and forth, then the seller is also responsive--a good trait. They will do anything not to get negative feedback, so myguessistheseller was willing to eat the cost. I would feel bad, too, and pay again. If the payment can be proven that it was received twice, I'm sure the seller will reimburse you. You have to make the decision that you can live with.
