Just want to vent....

..... I won an item in Victoria on Saturday 2nd March. (I am NSW)
Seller emailed me to request payment on Monday 4th March. (at that stage, i hadnt realised i had won it as I hadnt been on the internet over the weekend, and i had placed one bid on this item a few days before)
a tad suprised by the seller demands, but obliged and paid immediately via paypal on 4th March.

On Sunday, the 10th March, I noticed the item in my *purchased* history is still unmarked as posted... so i emailed seller and asked if they could tell me when they posted it as it wasnt marked as such. (i know that not everybody marks items as posted thropugh the ebay system, so I just wanted to double check)

She replies on the same day with appologies that she had her parents staying over, and she FORGOT to post my item!... then she says that Monday (yesterday) is a P/H, so she will post Tuesday (today).

Im like....   WTF!

Im really annoyed.
Im REALLY REALLY annoyed!
I opened an item not received case today. I know it will be posted, and i hope it will eventually arrive... but to simply *forget* to post, after 6 days of having my money, then im sorry, but case open it is!

(delivery handeling time-within 3 days of cleared payment)

Sorry.... just had to rant.

cheers...

seller is a newbie, but no excuse for slow postage, especially when its a week!

*smiles knowingly and sympathetically back to said african bride child* 😛

let's see - you forgot you bid, she forgot to post 🙂

a tad suprised by the seller demands,

you didn't pay straight away, so after a couple of days, she sends you an invoice

then she forgets to post - asked why, says she forgot because of parents visit

can't you forgive her?

hmmm... dont know what your post is trying to say...

i didnt FORGET to bid at all, i DID bid and i won it.

I didnt pay straight away, but i DO have 4 days to pay, and this was day 3. However, I won item saturday evening. She sent payment request Sunday morning. I opened email Monday morning and paid Monday morning.
She never actually sent me an invoice. I received the usual ebay Congratualtions You Won item number ++++ email, and her  *ebay member has contacted you about item number ++++* email.

either way, its now day 8 and the item is still sitting in her house!

At least the seller was honest, they could have said that they had posted it and just hadn't marked it as posted.

I would be looking to see if during the time you have waited, look to see if any listings were done or feedback was left for others while busy with visitors.

If they had been listing or leaving feedback how hard would it have been to say postage will be delayed while at the PC doing other things.

It would get a neg from me 😞

Fancy making demands on a buyer to pay and then not delivering

Totally agree - you forgot to pay because you were not on the computer over the weekend, she forgot to send because she had her parents visiting, as you are no doubt aware there is life outside of eBay. I think a little lenience is definitely called for.
