what happemned to this ebay seller?
dwsurman
he was selling a lot of items and had thousands of good reviews... all of a sudden i tried making an order a few days ago and it wouldnt go threw, now
on the chem i was trying to buy it says This seller is currently away until Dec 31, 2017, and is not processing orders at this time. You can add this
item to your watch list to purchase later.
Why on earth would someone go away for nearly a year?

Maybe he bought a yacht with the profit he made and is sailing the open seas, maybe he's building a house and has taken on the roll of project manager
until its completion in a year from now, maybe he took on a one year work contract, or maybe he's doing a 12 month stint in prison for beating up his
wife’s lover.
I guess we'll never know

Maybe he had some kind of family emergency or something similar come up that requires him to travel, putting his business on hold, and perhaps he
doesn't know when he will get back. Setting the return date to the last day of the year sounds like a spontaneous selection because he isn't sure how
long it will be. Or maybe he just overlooked setting a proper date. I wouldn't overthink it. Maybe you can try to find the sellers email address and
contact them directly.

There are lots of US companies selling Triethylamine. Not that cheap, but Sciencelab has 500ml for $100, and Sigma for $50 (if you can find someone to
order it from there). I'm sure there are other sites as well.

Oh ok. So now all I have to do is get someone from the EU to ship me 20L or so of gasoline. That should be easy, right?

If you organise it I will send you all the 95RON you want............!! 
Apologies for actually quoting you, MTBE from pump petrol is a little pet project of mine ATM over here............ My post was more thinking aloud
than offering you a serious alternative.............. It was also intended for others who might read this thread in the future
I had a feeling you weren't in the EU but I wasn't sure, you never seem to sleep............!! 
Keep up the good work............ Peace out

Oh dwsurman of Quakerstown, Pennsylvania. I know thee well.
He has his own website with a store, actually, and that store still seems to be up, unless I'm mistaken:
http://consolidated-chemical.com/
You want 500 mL of triethylamine? Here you go:
http://consolidated-chemical.com/Triethylamine-Purified-500m...
There's a coupon you can use on this site that's like 10percentoff (i think) that will give you what the text of it implies.

but the question is.... should someone take the chance in ordering from him IF he might be in jail or something? Im only thinking aloud here but why
would someone close down a very profitable ebay service for 1 year and keep there other site open? Is it worth the risk?

I don't see why he would be in jail. I believe his business is wholly legitimate. He's one of those people I don't discuss around those who might be
cooks or kewls.

Maybe he's sick of eBay gouging him on fees, and wants to drive his regular customers towards ordering from his store? Judging from what members here
have said regarding their eBay sales, that seems entirely possible.
Or maybe he just sold one too many things that eBay disapproved of, like galinstan or something, and they tried to fine him for it so he left?
In any case, if your credit card payment goes through and you receive no response from the seller, you can call them and get it refunded.
Seriously folks, the DEA has a lot bigger fish to fry than people buying 40 grams of substituted benzaldehydes on eBay. If they were monitoring this
stuff and had dirt on a bunch of people, why would they use their ace in the hole to defeat a pair of twos? It makes no sense.

well i sent them on their actually website, a message asking them if they are still open for business despite the ebay statement. I decided to do this
before i placed an order. So hopefully this will yield at least a partial answer.
