1. Receiving tracking IS contact. Not everyone has time to personally contact every buyer. Nor should that be required. Technically, a seller doesn't even have to let you know the item shipped by updating the tracking info. But he did and you received an email--that's contact, albeit maybe not the contact that you would've preferred.Originally Posted by dunks318ti
Ill try to answer as many questions I can,
1.) He still didn't contact me. He never contacted me. I got tracking through eBay automated system.
2.) I'm not going to give him any feedback until item arrives. He could have NOT double boxed it or whatever else that can go wrong.
3.) That 3-4 handling/shipping time wasn't made by him. It was eBay's "estimated" time under shipping. It ALWAYS say that. He stated CLEARLY, USPS PRIORITY
(for example: even if a California seller/so Cal were to list an item, eBay's "estimated" time is still 3-4 days. In reality it take a day to ship)
(I understand life/work/career/whatever, but if you can't follow through at least communicate. If I list something, i know in the back of my head, I will have to ship it)
4.) He only listed 1 (ONE) item. And he just listed it. 3 day listing with 2 hrs and 37 minutes left. He got paid instantly. No way he could "forget" or "mislabeled shipping"
(He got paid and did what he had to do with the INSTANT money. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a instant Paypal Debit Card)
(The excuse of waiting it to get into his bank account is bogus. He sent 1 day late. Paypal don't transfer funds into your bank account within 1 day)
5.) I don't know the NT'er. He never stated his name. I just got his eBay name and tried to search it here, but no go.
6.) It's basically about the principle. Don't say you're gonna do something and NOT do it. It's the equivalent to flaking. If you're not going to ship it priority, don't list it as so.
7.) When you pay for priority shipping, it usually takes people over a week??? I buy and sell a LOT. When I ship priority its 3 days MAXIMUM. I paid monday, promptly.
3. Again, the seller didn't do things the way that YOU would've preferred, but he isn't in the wrong with shipping out when he did. Having Priority mail as your shipping speed doesn't mean you have to ship the very next day--I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Would it be nice? Sure. But immediate shipment isn't required.
4. I don't have a Paypal debit card and I always wait for the $$ to clear into my bank account, but I also adjust my handling time accordingly so the buyer knows. "He sent 1 day late". Again, how is him sending your kicks out when he did considered "late"? I'm baffled by this.
6. I wouldn't call it flaking--you're still getting your item. But I get where you're coming from. You deserve a refund for shipping for sure. Honestly, if the seller remedies the situation with a shipping refund, I'd just drop him neutral feedback. If he never contacts you again, throw him negative for sure.
