Would you be irritated if a seller sent you a payment reminder 19 hours after the auctions closed?

And said seller doesn't even accept PayPal?

    I would make a point to insure it took 10 days for the payment to reach them.

    It might have been a mistake.

    Yeah, except I mailed payment about 14 hours after the auctions closed.

    That reminds me of when I was getting some foundation work done on my house. The steel company that provided my rebar delivered a lien notice on my house before they even deliverd the steel!!!! They said it was their standard practice as it saves them time when they do run across a deadbeat. Believe me I was very irritated!

    I'd find a different rebar supplier and let them sue me for the restock fees. A jury of your peers would award you their company in a countersuit.

    I spent 20 years in the construction/engineering field and I can tell you that is BS.

    Regarding Russ; No, I'd let it go as nothing if it was only the first reminder. After that, it's a different story.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Probably a mistake.

    On a related note...
    After sending a Paypal payment, should you expect some kind of confirmatory email from the seller that he got payment and is shipping, yada, yada?
    I had an auction close few of nights ago. Paid within an hour of the close, and 3 days later, not a word from the seller.
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    Oh yeah, one other thing about the auctions. When I first bookmarked them, the seller did accept PayPal - and also did for the last auction I won. So, I set them up in auctionsniper. Three days later when I won, I find that the listings had been revised to remove PayPal and the only option had become cashier's check or money order. Apparently the seller bumped up against a receiving limit.

    It's always appreciated when sellers do this, but I only see it about 50% of the time from people I buy from. The packages always arrive sooner or later, though.

    I wouldn't even respond to such an email until a week had passed.

    As a seller, I send them. As a buyer, I find that the majority of sellers don't bother.

    I guess the seller expected an email saying that you were sending payment. But less than a day after the auction? That is a bit soon.

    I don't usually send a confirm email when I get PayPal payment. I do give positive feedback within one day of receiving payment so that is a clue I got paid.

    Which the seller got. When I got the invoice last night I responded saying I'd try to get a money order out today. Then I went the additional step of going through checkout to make sure they had my shipping address.

    Sean is probably right.

    I pack the item, send email and leave feedback.

    I get feedback for about half the items I buy thus I leave feedback for about half the items I buy.

    Carl,

    How did you know that a lien was placed on your house?

    Reason I ask is we had a new roof put on the house after losing ours in hurricane charley. Not only did they not finish the job, but their phone numbers are disconnected now and a letter I sent to them was returned ( moved no forwarding address). The building inspector was here the other day and rejected the job and now I wonder if a lien was also put on my house.

    How did you find out?

    Thanks Carl

    Okay, I've decided not to be irritated. The seller just got back to me and she thought last night's checkout was a request for the total, so she sent a second invoice.

    I left my first negative for a seller who hounded me for my payment.

    After I did the eBay checkout saying I'd send a money order on a Friday I got 3 daily emails with 3 extra ones on a hourly basis on Sunday asking for a PayPal payment. So, needless to say I didn't pay for it.

    Come to think of it, it's how I got my first negative feedback as well image

    Agree with RYK. How can parity be achieved between sellers/buyers when the medium for transmitting funds is so wack? That's it, I'm geting a ferret!
