    I had checked the hangar for Ramjet and he is indeed AWOL. This is my first "issue" with eBay so I really appreciate the prompt advice from everyone so far. Thankyou all.

    And yes I did pay for it via Paypal (just some more info).

    I would add a note in about the missing missiles as well. Even if the seller meant that it the instructions "complete" the set, the wording is deceptive and at the very least open to misinterpretation, which is what may have happend here.

    If I bid on that auction, I would expect, missiles, Ramjet and instructions as well since they would be what makes it complete IMO.

    It also just possible that she had forgot to put it in with the package, in which case she should send it free of charge. In my experience, don't be too hasty to assume you have been jipped. Best to start out on the right foot and be polite about it. If she is nasty about it, then aim for the jugular

    Completely agree with you. Sometimes they are just honest mistakes and it always pays to give the seller a chance to rectify the situation.

    Very good advice, starting politely is always a better option than going for the throat straight off the bat.

    *nods* Tell her nicely what's happened and ask if she can send you the missiles and Mini-Con or otherwise compensate you in some other way.

    Well she doesn't have the Ramjet minicon or the missiles but has offered to refund me $5.50 (1/2 the purchase price). I really want Ramjet too
    and he's $17 loose on eBay!

    Pros:
    I was charged correct shippng.
    She has had no similar items for sale.

    Cons:
    Very misleading auction to have without the "I'm no TF expert so I don't know if it's complete" speel.

    I think I'll take the $5.50.
