Possible to disable 'Please Pay' automated emails?

[kustomizer99]

Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the automated 'Please pay for your item' emails that eBay sends out to buyers -- about one or two days after an auction ends?!

I recently had a buyer complain to me about 'my' impatience after they received several of these, and there really is no need for eBay to do this. All it does is annoy the buyer and most likely contributes to low star ratings in many cases, as I'm sure it did in this example.

Then how do you handle things when a buyer is waiting for another one of your auction items to bid on 5-6 days after they won their first auction with you phorum-junkie?

I don't bother contacting the seller for any reason until I've finished my buying session with them, no matter how many days in between items coming up, so I'd see you as harrassing me going by what you say above, and if you launched a dispute aganst me after only 4 days you'd p1ss me so badly I'd be contacting Ebay over your harrassment.

If all your items were listed as BINs I'd have no problem with paying immediately, but how can anyone do that when they're bidding on multiple listings stretching out days apart?

I don't consider myself to be answerable to any Ebay seller when my payment is held up due to their own auction listing frequencies.

Thank you so much for posting here moorna12, much appreciated 🙂

Hmmm ...... yet you seem to have plenty of time to post on these boards.  Interesting.

There's always time to spare in anyones day to go Fool fishing Willy..

In case you don't know what fool fishing is it's when someone places a baiting post in somewhere like this and every fool rushes to slam at it ...  just as you and several others around here have done ROTFL

Who cares what you want to call it when its amusing to watch

I can't answer that question because I've never received such an email from any seller I deal with Sparklz, but if they did I wouldn't leave them a neg feedback for it anyway. That would be ruddy childish and not the way I tend to work or think.

The seller should remember that they ARE conducting business, so they can quietly seethe all they like to themselves, as long as they keep it only to themselves so they can laugh later when they count their profits.

Only a fool bites off the hand that feeds them.

Business is war, and every sale they make is just another tiny battle won.

As for postage costs ...

I factor those into things before I place my final bid so it doesn't concern me if they combine them or not, but they usually offer it to me anyway or they mail to me for free as I don't usually buy only a few dollars worth of goods from them at any one time, but spend hundreds of bucks in one hit.

More times than not the sellers I deal with end up offering to send the goods express service for free because they're so pleased with the total sales amount.

If I were to worry about a couple of bucks on saved postal costs I'd be buying at the wrong price in the first place as far as I'm concerned.

You may see me as being a PITA to deal with, but sellers making hundreds of dollars from me per time tend to think I'm the best thing since sliced bread was invented and go out of their way to create a great business relationship with me for the future.

For my part I know I'm the best thing since sliced bread ]:)
