The guy hasn't claimed the Paypal money either...

Something weird happens too. His username is viaharmony, but sometimes in My Ebay it shows up as turboawd-half.. When I click on it, the username is not found. when I refresh the page, it goes back to viaharmony. WTF!?!? Both have the same feedback.

I don't think the guy is a scammer. He's been signed up since 2001 and has made two purchases, so he is probably just a n00b. I've sent him an email, but is there anything else I should do?

IF you want to count it like that. Sunday is a WEEKEND, most people cannot ship that day. So basically that leaves Monday as the earliest he can ship it out. Today is the day after Monday, and you expect it to ship this soon like this all the time?:Q

Jeez, stop pissing your pants.

Seriously, what good is posting on ATOT? Are there magicians here that make people send their eBay items faster?

I don't think anyone here cares about how a guy hasn't send his item after 3 days. Just be patient and wait for crying out loud.

It's been almost 2 business days. Relax Francis...

Shoot the guy an e-mail and ask him for an update.

That would likely constitute a separate auction, with some exorbitant shipping and handling fees.

He replied to my eBay message.. Turns out he thinks I didn't send him the payment. He's just a n00b who didn't realize you have to claim payments I guess. What if I had waited a week like most of you would have done because "it's only been 3 days dude"??

Now it's been 3 business days, and I'm pretty sure he won't check his messages until he gets home, which means no shipment until tomorrow at the earliest. That means thursday shipment of an item won AND PAID FOR on saturday. That's pretty annoying when you're on a tight schedule.

Then you would have been a reasonable buyer who doesn't annoy the hell out of busy sellers, and you would be 4 days extra without your camera.

who the fvck buys an item from ebay that they need right away? go to the store and buy it if you need it the next day. Ebay is not a store. Its is for the most part, people like you and me selling their items.

people are so unreasonable and stupid.

Maybe you shouldn't buy things on ebay ever.

Yes, it's so unreasonable to expect someone to accept payment and ship an item as soon as they can, instead of 4 days later. I'm so stupid for not wanting someone to sit around twiddling his thumbs for four days because he doesn't know how to use eBay!!! Was I stupid and unreasonable for sending the payment as soon as I won the auction? Should I have hung around for a couple days?

So do all of you who made these replies wait a week to ship things out just to spite "stupid" and "unreasonable" people like me? I'm not blaming the guy for taking long, I understand that he doesn't know how to work Paypal, so what's the problem here?

If THE SELLER had been stupid and unreasonable, he would have sent me an email on sunday or monday after not receiving payment, and it would have been taken care of already!!

Most of you would have had me do nothing, just because eBay is apparently the E in eBay stands for "Easy Street".

The seller probably has a basic account, and the buyer sent him a Credit Card paypal payment.

Paypal gives you the option to upgrade and accept or deny and not upgrade.
And OP Needs to chill the hell out.
Just cuz you purchased it on Saturday doesn't mean he has to get it out that Monday.

He may have certain designated ship dates.
