 What does it indicate if the seller does not reply to one's questions about a product?   I have posted several questions although two after the sale went through but get no response.

They might be on holiday at this time, so it doesn't really mean anything just now 🙂

Don't worry about it, unless you do not receive your items in a reasonable time frame. Then try to talk to them again, if no response, open up an item not received claim through Paypal (if that's how you paid) before 45 days.

The only reason to worry would be if their account has been suspended. You can check that by going to their profile page. If everything looks normal, no recent string of negatives indicating they've done a runner, don't worry about it yet.

If I ask a seller a question before I bid, and get no response, it turns me off bidding on that product, to tell the truth. If they can't be bothered clarifying things then you wonder how organised they are.

Do as amber eyed girl suggested and just watch you get the item in time. Basically, if they had the items just finished on ebay, you would assume they are still around or at least able to be online because they would need to be posting the items out. Maybe they are a bit wary of answering questions after a sale, who knows.

Yes, I do too. If I ask a question before I have bid and get no response, I don't bid, but why do you have to ask a question after you have won the item?

Surely, you read the terms and were happy enough with them to bid and win, what questions need answering after that?

it means that you should give them a negative report. ive come across these people a few times, Their excuse? I was in bed with the flu, I was sick, I was on holidays, my aunt was sick, i was in hospital yarda yarda yarda.

 But listen to this AMAZINGLY when you put in a complaint with pay pal, these people are GARRANTEED to call you back within the hour! AMAZING coincidence.

Its quite common to ask questions after you won a bid, Have you posted it? Can i have a yellow one? oh sorry ive changed my mind i want a red one, I want two not one. thats the questions you need after that?

holy snapping duck feet

I bet you make a few special lists!

Why would you ask a seller have you posted it yet after you have won the bid? why didn't you just look at the sellers postage details,handling and posting time frame in the listing as that would tell you when the seller will post it.Also once you have purchased the item you can't then ask for a different colour or more than 1 item as you should be asking all these questions before you bid/buy.

 I have just asked a seller if he has posted my item, quite politely, I might add.

I paid for it on 2nd and it was not marked as posted yet.

He quite rudely told me that he posts within 3 working days and I am on my third

day! (nope, this is the 4th)  It will be posted sometime today! I'm betting that's not

before 6pm now. Nowhere in the listing was there anything about p & h times.

How are you supposed to know if they don't bluddy tell you in the listing?
