UGH! Diligent Buyer

[i-love-my-sheep]

I seem to have a very diligent buyer. He is buying quite a few items and is paying for each one as he wins it. He's going to cost me a FORTUNE in PayPal fees for all these individual payments. I sent him a message earlier tonight and asked that he wait until he finished buying until he pays, yet he keeps paying!!

I guess it's better than a non payer, but now by rights, I'm going to have to send 8 things in separate packages (all are free post large letter, except for 1 small parcel). I suppose I don't have any protection on large letter anyway, so may as well just send them altogether in the small parcel, but what about all those PayPal fees!!!!!

Just a little heads up.. I went to my LPO today at Kilburn North SA. The guy behind the counter said ti me I have something you will be Interested in.. He tells me if I fill out a Application for a MyPost Account I would receive a Free 500 gram Express Bag even if I never use the Account and Everyone in the house hold is entitled to one if they complete the form and hand it in Back at the PO. I was a bit dubious and took it home to read it.. Check it out online at www.auspost.com.au/mypost

I am still trying to decide

Cool, thanks, I'll have to check it out! I somehow missed this message. I just went onto the second page looking for another message and saw this one with unread replies.

Thankfully my buyer held out until I sent an invoice for the last of his purchases, so he hasn't paid too much postage. It would be so nice if all buyers were as easy going as him. I told him I would post today or tomorrow, depending on when I finished work today and he replied with, no problems, don't rush, even posting next week is fine. Of course I will post before next week!!

I know we can't name and shame buyers and sellers on the forums, but it would be nice if we could name fabulous buyers like this! He really has been fantastic to deal with.

I had a buyer who bought 27 items in one night- all low value- and paid for each item individually via paypal.

A sale is a sale but 27 paypal fees instead of one??

Feedback cheerfully left for each item before postage - none received back though from said buyer.

Is it an ebay prompt telling them to pay before they keep shopping?

[i-love-my-sheep]

I think if they watch an auction finish, when they are told they won, there is a prompt to pay now. Same with BIN's. There is nothing to say not to pay if they want to continue shopping. Probably eBay's way of getting more fees via PayPal.

Yes we got this very same spiel at our LPO yesterday including the free 500gm express satchel.

I have the form at home but have not sat and read thru it just yet.

Ahhh sheepy, if your trouble is having a fabuously prompt paying easy-going customer who is buying heaps & heaps of your goodies at your asking prices, I'd gladly trade 'troubles' with you... and so would nearly every seller on these.boards I imagine. 

Geez it must suck to be you right now. 

P.S. it's very nice of you that you'd be willing to share your 'precious' by naming them here if you could.
