Well it's great that you have such a good buyer! Of course buyers are buyers and mostly not sellers and probably they don't care all that much and thinnk that ebay is a big brain who takes care of everything it's not. I think ebay should improve when it comes to multiple sales. The design of the site is not great here.

I sympathise, I had a similiar situ very recently. request total, you reply will respond shortly, (you can't always do the combining etc on an iphone) then pays anyway. 

and then there was the one who bought 13 items, and I had to do 13 unpaid items disputes. and then I needed 13 more listings to relist - there goes my 40 free and missed the buyers I could have had in the waiting to pay/ dispute period.  As you say its a time thing too.  we all have a life.

On my other account I had a buyer message me last night asking if I could drop the postage cost on one of the

listings by half,(I received the message three minutes before the listing ended),

I messaged back showing them how I arrive at what it costs me to post the items,(I sent the message with one

minute to spare),

You could fit 100s of items in a 3kg satchel so that would be a waste of a 3kg satchel

in tippys case anyway 

Honesty, is important to sellers 

She did it again tonight with the other items she bought. I wasn't in a position to send an invoice as I was driving back from Sydney. First time, call it a seniors moment. Second time, she needs her butt kicked!

Scrambler, most of my items are on the larger side, so I'm only be able to fit 3 items, mayby 4 at a push. If I've sold some plates and teacups that I want to fit into a satchel, I can normally only fit one. If I try to fit more in to a box that will go in a satchel, they won't be packaged adequately. Most of the firgurings I sell are smaller, so would be able to fit quite a few of those in there.

I sent her a message this morning letting her know I'll hopefully get her stuff posted today. I also said to PLEASE wait for an invoice in future because eBay charges fees on postage and it can take a lot of effort to get them refunded when you have paid excessive amounts of postage, even moreso when it's 2 transactions. She's only got about 100 feedback, so far from being very experienced. I did say that most sellers are happy for you to keep bidding over multiple days because they can see that you have bids on. Then when done, send a request for invoice and WAIT until the invoice is sent.

I had to do a refund of postage about 3 weeks ago and even though I only refunded excess postage, the items are showing as not paid and the buyer is getting reminders to pay. I checked PayPal and their payment is there, as is the $25 refund for excess postage, so I definitely didn't accidentally do a full refund. There is nothing to suggest anywhere that I refunded in full. My balance only went down by $25.

If this happens again with this buyer and she gets reminders to pay, she's just as likely to pay again.

Awww c'mon!   100 fb and she doesn't know yet?        What a doofus.

Hate to be you Tippy

I've only got 80fb so I must be an almost newbie.
