If it is any consolation, his comments to you would not, i think, influence anyone to think badly of you. They reflect more on him.
They contain no objective information, simply abuse.
Someone said this:
but as said above, yes, a seller can wait to ship until the money is in their bank.
I would have thought it was in a seller's best interest to post it reasonably quickly. Especially if they want to keep buyers happy.
Now I could have the wrong end of the stick but a while back i was reading ebay conditions and I think if you are a new seller, then paypal keeps the payments, they don't go into your account at all for 2 months OR until that buyer gives you positive feedback.
So it would seem ebay expects new sellers to post items off before they get money into their account, you could hardly ask buyers to wait 2 months.
To be honest, it was one of the sticking points for me when i read that about that ebay condition, as a seller could be out of pocket quite a bit before the money started to come through.
It also jarrs a bit with the ebay statements that feedback is voluntary because it seems they sort of expect buyers to give it. Bad luck to the new seller whose buyers don't bother.
I have no idea of the item quality from dustyman and I guess a week's wait as such, if they are amazing, isn't the end of the world but it would be annoying. Basically though, the man's attitude sucks, he comes over as very aggressive.
