Ebay question
I sold some Irish pounds on Ebay a few days ago. Got comments and help here.
I had a total of 5 auctions, won by 4 individuals - 2 Brits, 2 Yanks. Brits paid within litterally hours of auction end. Still waiting for the Americans, 5 days after the auction. All Paypal. What's a reasonable/normal time to wait for payment on Ebay - I did not specify a limit (another lesson learned)? |

They could have forgotten, lost the e-mail, etc. They could also be on vacation (although the times I thought I might be out of town when the auction ended, I'd e-mail the seller before bidding, to see if it was a problem) take care, Scott |

I have had one foreign bidder not ante up in 8 yrs of selling on eBay, but I have had more Americans not ante up payment. I sell a lot less to Americans also, most of my stuff goes to Europe. I would contact them let them know you have not heard from them, and will file an a final auction value refund if you have not heard from them. Also note that their feedback is in question. |

Also note that their feedback is in question. I wouldn't mention feedback in that manner. epay, in their standard overbearing and god-like attitude, might call that feedback extortion if the bidder complains. |

I do mention that feedbag is contingent on your payment performance in my auction terms. |

IMHO; I'd send an email at 5 days, questioning them nicely, one at 10 days questioning them harshly and explaining to them they will HAVE to be listed as a NPB for you to get your auction corrected w/ ebay, and in 15 days I would do it. (Total of 15 days, not 30) I had one jerk that kept telling me he was sending payment, had sent payment, etc... I finally slit him, and I'd do the same again. Had another clown take payment back from paypal when they got item, tried saying he never got it... I add insurance for free on all the items I send out so I sent him the Postal forms to fill out. All of a sudden, oh the coin is here, what do you now, oh so sorry, here is your money. :-) Would have ALMOST believed the guy but apparently he did the same thing to a bunch of us, and one of them was an NY lawyer... Heh heh, I loved it! -- dw |
