Default Mastergrade Sale.......Bogus???

DON'T FLAME ME, This is a question not an accusation. I bought a TS Diffuser for the advertised price of $600 shipped from Mastergrade motorsports. I sent the money via PayPal and have the reciept. I have not recieved a tracking number or any response from Mastergrade....But it is the weekend so benefit of doubt....Monday. What has me worried is that the thread is now GONE from My350Z. I have been burned before for big $$$$$ so I am a little paranoid about this stuff. Please, someone, tell me that Mastergrade is cool and there is a good reason the thread in gone now. Thanks- Jim
PS. Like I said before....I am not accusing anybody I am just paranoid.

Maybe the mods can chime in on this... I would get with your bank immediately and have them put a hold on that payment. Paypal cannot stop payment once it is in a pending status. It may cost you $20 with your bank but hell, better to be safe than sorry. It would then give them a reason to contact you if they are legitimate since you haven't heard from them since you made the payment. Hope everything works out for ya...

Wait Wait, I know they are banned, but I would reach out to them today by phone before you get too concerned... I have never dealt with them personally, but it is hard to imagine that they would just come back here trying to rob people... That is what I would do anyway... They are on Cali time as well I believe, so give them time to wake up...

Update. I emailed Mastergrade and they responded. They claim they don't know why the thread was nixed and the sale is NO SCAM. Mastergrade left a number to call (612) 220-1542 if anyone else is concerned over their orders. I am now hopeful but not stupid....until I have the parts on my car I won't be happy. -Jim

Mastergrade was banned because I think they figured out that it was Jim from Showstoppers... As far as MASTERGRADE going under, I have yet to hear/ see evidence of that....
