Difficulty emailing Ebay winners

AgflyerAgflyer Posts: 948 ✭✭✭
Typically, after a round of my Ebay auctions end, I'll send an invoice to the winning bidders via Ebay's invoice service. Occasionally I'll have a winning bidder email me after the fact and ask what the total comes to and where they should send their check. Since I already sent an invoice, it causes me to wonder why they're asking for this information again. I have a theory that emails sent through Ebay will sometimes make their way into people's junk mail folder. I monitor my junk mail folder and have intercepted such emails, but I know that not everyone out there does. Is there a way to consistently send email through Ebay that will reach the person I'm mailing? Have other people run into this same problem? Thanks in advance for your replies.
I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!

    I have also been having some problems with Ebay's email system. Nothing big but one guy I emailed 3 times and finally when I contacted him through phone, he said he never got the emails. Ebay for ya'image

    I wouldn't be so quick to blame eBay. Like Agflyer said, a lot of this stuff gets stuck in spam filters. Also, many users have incorrect or old email addresses registered with eBay. eBay might be the culprit, but there's a lot of blame to go around.

    I check my Postini email folder and must approve the sender to get the mail. Just did this on an ebay buyer.
    But I have also been having some difficulty on the ebay site.

    In past couple weeks, I notice they are tracking my viewing and displaying "like priced" items on my screen for me to see. This HAS to be a tracking cookie of some sort and may be interfering with other stuff that viewers WANT to see.

    I wait for a couple of days to see who sends me payment info first. Then, I contact those I have not heard from. I do not count on automated systems.

  • As a buyer I know that I have received the seller's e-mail as many as 3 days after the auction!!!! I've already paid for the item and am awaiting shipping. I don't know what the problem is but they better find faster horses!!
