Sat, October 5th: My auction for a CD I was selling ends

Mon, October 7th: I send buyer an invoice to pay for item

Sun, October 13th: Buyer emails back and says "sorry, been gone a few days. Can I send you a check?"

Monday, October 14th: I email buyer back and say "sure, please send to......"

Sat, October 19th - Buyer emails me and says, "Sorry. I just don't check my E:mail's enough. $3.75 plus 2 bucks shipping?

Sun, October 20th - I email buyer and say, "That's correct... $5.75 total."

Mon, October 21st - Buyer emails me and says, "check to go out on Tuesday. I assume the CD is in good shape with no skips?"

Here it is over two weeks after my auction ends, this person hasn't even mailed their payment to me yet, and they have the audacity to ask about the condition of the CD which was plainly stated in the auction as excellent! What should I reply back to this person? Some of the things that come to mind aren't very nice!

EDIT: Oh, and you know how most user names have a number (7) or something next to their name. Well, this user has (private) next to theirs. Gee, I wonder why?

I think he's being a jackass. Go to the next bidder.
 
You mean you let this crap continue for two weeks? :Q

I send out the bill request the same day the auction ends, and I expect payment in my hands within two weeks (check, MO) - then the item shps. The usual "Contact within X days" usually works ... I find 3 is a good number.

- M4H
 
Hmmm, I guess I'm going by eBay auctions all wrong. Whenever I win, the payment is sent PayPal within the hour or the Money Order is sent next day. I should start slacking off... 😉
 
$3.75 is not even worth the effort of writing the description, putting it on ebay, wait several days for the auction to end, wait several more days for the payment, and writing all these emails contacting each other. you woulda made more than 3.75 if you spent the same amount of time trying to find random coins dropped on the ground 🙂

Seriously, why bother with the actuion at all? you'll spend more on gas driving to the post office to ship the thing.
 
You don't need to. Ebay policy already gives you the right to cancel an auction after 7 days of nonpayment.

i tried to auction a sugar packet i got from denny's once...didn't sell.
 
Well, I emailed the buyer the following:

"It has been over two weeks since the auction ended, you have not mailed your payment yet and you're asking me about the condition of the CD which was clearly stated in the auction description? I think I need to move on to the next highest bidder."

Today, I received the following reply:

"That will be fine."

What a loser!

hA !
i had a similar experience on e-bay, i sold a t-shirt and the winner gave me a runaround for like 2 weeks. first off, all my auctions say "paypal only" and i STILL have some mouth-breathers that win and ask if they can pay with check or MO. so this person says they're going to mail me a check so i give my addy and then they e-mail back asking for my addy like 4 times until i left bad feedback and gave the t-shirt to goodwill. then the loser GIVES ME bad feedback too.
