Here's another situation with Ebay, give me your thoughts...
I won an item yesterday at noon. Immediately paid as is my habit. Put a note with the payment for the person to let me know when they get the payment...you know...to kinda touch base thinking they'd tell me when they'd ship the item. The person had gone to great lengths in their auction to talk about "communication" and such being so important.
So I didn't hear anything at all from the person for 30 hours. Finally, I sent them an ebay message asking "Did you get the payment" and I got a response back immediately that said "Looks like it." No other info, didn't even sign the note.
What do you think? Is this common? The guy that bought my sprouter never contacted me although he did pay and I wrote and told him the package was on the way and got no response. Weird!
Yes, it's common. You just have to set a higher standard, and become a beacon of restraint. [Cue the graphic]
