Deposit? What Deposit?

Hmmm, it wil all work out, but I put a deposit down on a large-ish object and when I called (just a few minutes ago), the dealer in kind didn't seem to have a obvious record of the deposit.  Bummer.  It will all work out just fine, or it won't, which would mean that they don't have the merchandise in stock that they're supposed to have.  Do I need to give any more veiled information?
