I've been playing on Ebay, Buying and selling.
This time around it's been a pretty good experience. A few minor problems. I had one buyer cancel an order because they claimed I sold the item twice. It wasn't true, but I hadn't shipped yet so no big deal I just refunded the money. I'm guessing an Ebay Glitch. I've bought a few items lately, up to an hour after I paid it was still showing up in the listings, so I see their confusion.
Another, was software that was new and sealed, the buyer claimed it wasn't working after the opened it and installed. They scammed me, nothing I can do about it. There isn't any proof that it doesn't work, and I can't sell it again after they have opened it and loaded it into their computer. I refunded the money and moved on.
But.....What really ticks me off? I bought an Item over a week ago that I really wanted. I won the auction, with shipping it's $326. That was 2 Mondays ago!!! I sent the seller multiple messages. Finally, last Sunday they contacted me saying that they had a rough week and it would be in the mail Monday(a week after auction end) with a tracking number. Nothing.....Then after more messages, they said it would be in the mail Tuesday....Last night they would have it in the mail this morning.... I think I'm giving it until 9pm tonight and calling it. My patience has run out for that kind of money!!
I ship within 2 business days, usually within one. I can't imagine waiting over a week to ship! I'm too hyper for that!
How long do you wait for someone to ship? When do you have enough? I'm just curious how long most people give and when their patience run out!! I'm sure the amount the item cost plays into that too!!
