I agree coops, some buyers should not be allowed to sit in front of a computer they so clueless.

I had a buyer who purchased an item and then failed to communicate or pay for 5 days, even after a gentle reminder on day 4. I suspected they wern't going to follow through with the transaction and would commence a UPI on day 7.

On day 5 which was a Friday they paid with Paypal, it was late in the afternoon so I couldn't post it until Monday morning and sent them a message thanking them for their payment and explaining I couldn't post until Monday morning, no response to my message, but they instantly left me positive feedback, before they even got the item!!

On Monday morning at 9.01am I get this very abusive message from the buyer demanding why the item hasn't been marked as posted when I promised it would be. He was calling me a scammer and a thief and he will call the police if I don't give him his money back.

I replied with an explanation and informed him what time the post office opened and how rude and impatient he was being considering he kept me waiting for payment. He would have none of it and sent me another abusive message,

I had had enough by then and decided not to post the item as I could foresee further issues with this nut case. I cut off all comms with him and waited for the inevitable Paypal dispute, he couldn't neg me as he had already left me a positive and I wasn't going to refund him voluntarily, I would keep his money for as long as it took.

40 days later with not a single word from this guy and no dispute opened I decided to post the item and see what eventuates, I tracked it and it was received and signed for.

I still haven't heard back from him, that was 4 months ago.

I did'nt leave feedback for him, he didn't deserve any.
Blocked and forgotten, that's my take on it.
