| 1154316 | 2010-11-18 20:12:00 | In your experience is this common? I've always provided extra enlarged images on another site. So they get all the info. I answer all questions. This fella was relatively prompt in replying emails - a few days. He is about an hours drive away so he said he would drive in for a pickup within a week. I emailed him back. Then he falls quite sick, I gave him a few more weeks like a total of 4 or so .. I emailed him back and he said he would arrange payment and email me back. A week goes pass .. Now I am thinking of getting my refund from TM and relist it. Christmas is not far away from the corner :dogeye: Looking at his past auctions, he has bought 2 auctions which had a similar finishing date of mine - from the positive reviews. I used to provide courier post only as the option, I may resort back to that now given the tracking ability. Felt a bit nice last time to give them parcel post as it was cheaper. |

| 1154318 | 2010-11-18 20:20:00 | If they are not going to pick it up within a few days, I would ask for payment first so they are committed to buying it. I think this is a reasonable attitude for sellers to have since they stand to lose if the buyer is a time waster. I did this when I sold my motorbike and the buyer was on the other island and needed to make arrangements to pick it up at a later date. He had no problems with paying immediately and understood my situation. |

Got 254 trades 100% yellow faces never had many problems other than some people being a bit slow. My blacklist is now 522 Bit over the top. I will sell to most. I won't buy from ones with bad feedback - BUT, the feedback system isn't perfect and I'll read them, not just look at the faces (retalitory feedbacks). If they were at fault well, yes, avoid. But sometimes they weren't. I would rather not jump to conclusions. However timely responses after an auction is what counts, if they stall for ages, well I wouldn't bother. Even if sick, they could ask someone else to collect couldn't they> |
