eBay Seller isn't sending me a total -- time to call?
I won six lots on eBay from a single seller. The seller is in
California, and will be charging sales tax. Plus, I think the shipping on six lots is somewhat less than 6 x one lot. In short, I have no idea how much to send the seller. So I requested a total from the seller. No response. I requested a total again. And again. No response. So, it's been five days now (three business days), and I'm thinking it's time to request contact info and just ring them up. But I'd've much rather'd the seller just be on top of their game... -- Bob |

Could be something less than that too. Perhaps he has an agressive spam blocker and is not seeing your e-mails. May I ask what is precluding you from hitting the Pay Now button for each auction and paying individually? Is there no Pay Now button? boB |

There is, but with six auctions I figured that there'd be some economy of scale for multiple auctions. Plus, the seller is in California (as am I) and charges sales tax, but didn't put the percentage in. In California, sales tax is different for every county, city, or whoever else gets a surcharge tacked on. So, I could've did a "Pay Now", but would have had to guess at what the shipping and tax would be. And, I'd probably guess wrong, and then have the seller chastising me for sending the wrong amount (how many times have we heard that story). Ultimately, the seller did eventually send me a total, which I promptly paid, and I received the coins shortly thereafter, so all's well that end's well. -- Bob |

Thanks for answering my question. I am registered to collect sales tax in FL and I looked, I am required to collect the state tax plus the local tax for the venue in which I sell. So, of course you were right to get the total from the seller. My bad. boB |
