Odd Ebay buyer

[Wag]

Auctioned off some relatively expensive hardware on Ebay and the guy instant paid though PayPal and everything. Great. No complaint there.

The odd thing is that this guy doesn't respond to any emails at all. He didn't even respond when I asked him for a confirmation of his shipping address, so I shipped it to him anyways. Signature confirmation shows he signed for it today- still no response.

Lol. I'll give the guy a good review as I got paid, but I just think it's odd someone would spend alot of money for hardware over Ebay and not respond at all to inquirees from the Seller.

At least nothing went wrong

mebbe he doesn't like [talking to] you?

I've had plenty of transactions just like this. Be thankful, theyneedy, touchy feely whiney ones are the worst. Especially when they expect you to run to the post office the second you get payment.

I'm not amazon.com for god's sake!

hehe even amazon takes a long ass time to ship nowadays...especially with their free shipping option!

Maybe he doesn't read English and someone interperated the auction for him...

It could be he never checks his email (at least the one he keeps public) or his incoming server is borked...who knows.

Was the payment via credit card? Be careful and make sure you get some sort of signature. Have heard horror stories of people recieving chargebacks years later for items sold on eBay paid for via PayPal.

 

[Wag]

Yeah, probably the later. I sent him mail to the two addresses he had- one for his ebay account, the other in his paypal account. Whatever. I'm sure I'll hear from him if he has a complaint.

At any rate, Signature Confirmation is a cool USPS service, much better than Return Receipt because you can see on the net who actually signed for it, and it only costs $.05 more, and you get tracking thrown in.

If you were using a big e-mail address name like hotmail, yahoo, msn, or aol his e-mail filter might have grabbed it before he could read it.

Or he could be like me and receive so much junk spam that unless it's a name he immediately recognized, he did a Ctrl+A, Delete and never saw it either.
