Priorities confusion.

michellebartley — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 01:43:05 GMT

I ordered an item but didnt pay at that time I ordered it but got a reminder from ebay asking for me to pay. Of course I paid a few days later but now seller hasnt posted item and wont reply to my emails either. They have their priorities confused somewhat.Seller is from UK. Really really annoying and disappointing.

Michelle, how many time have you been told that not all sellers mark their items as posted?

You bought the item last Friday and did not pay for at least 2 days, maybe more. The seller is a business seller so probably does not work over the weekend so may have only received your payment on Monday. With handling toime of one day the item has possibly not been posted yet.

You need to learn some patience before complaining on the boards. There is nothing to complain about in that scenario.

It was paid for Monday. At least they could answer their emails.And ALL my items Ive bought are marked as posted otherwise to my knowledge they arent. My main peeve is they want quick payment but no quick post.. Very one sided. I had a very similar experience back in November with a seller from the UK.

Your peeve is slow postage? How can the item be posted quickly when you did not pay promptly? You only paid yesterday and are already complaining with this silly thread!!!

When you say it was paid for Monday, do you mean last week or yesterday?

And what were the emails about and how many have you sent?

I ordered it but got a reminder from ebay asking for me to pay

The reminder was most likely an automated email sent out by ebay.

In the US they can actually open Unpaid Item disputes after two days so if you not going to pay within a couple of days it is always best to let the seller know.

What has slow postage got to do with a delayed payment.Nothing whatsoever. The seller should have some common decency and reply to my emails. The other seller I had problems with in November blasted me because I got a refund and said "what for! I've posted the item, and Im not going to get paid"Well ebay checked for me and told me the parcel was sent surface mail. I never received the item period. I think these sellers are totally incompetent.

Let this be a warning to other buyers. Anyone else whos had a similar experience post it on here.

You paid for the item yesterday at around 10:40am local time and posted your complaint at 11:43 today, barely 24 hours later.

FGS, try learning a little patience Michelle. The world doesn't revolve around you. Other people have lives too, you know.

The seller estimates up to 14 days for delivery so there's no point complaining until after that period has expired.

michellebartley — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 06:02:37 GMT

Thats right. Just seems like a copy cat seller like the one in November.

Re: Priorities confusion.

It is around 7am in the UK so perhaps the seller is still in bed.

How many emails did you send in the 24 hours between paying and posting here? It's just I have this picture in my mind of a seller in England complaining - maybe at this very moment - on the UK boards about PITA Australian buyers who have to be reminded before they pay up and then almost immediately start bombarding the seller with emails demanding to know whether their item has been posted.

The item has a 1 business day handling time in the listing! It hasn't been 1 full business day yet not until the end of today as it is barely 7am Tuesday .... I can't believe how many issues you have trading on eBay.

davewil1964 — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 06:13:36 GMT

I doubt too many others would have a similar experience to this.

Most buyers would probably wait more than 24 hours from (latish) paying before they started declaiming.

I can't believe how many issues Michelle THINKS she has trading on ebay.

There is no issue here at the moment, just Michelle's impatience.

It's a First World Problem, and if I get booted off the board for saying so - so be it

Come on guys, ease up a little.

I've had two panicked buyers email me about postage on Monday for sales over the week-end.

It must be something in the air, cos it's not usual for me to receive these.

Michelle must have just caught a whif of something.
