How long do you wait? (ebay)

jimq112

I won an auction for a 250 card lot of 75 minis. Emailed the seller after the auction for a shipping quote with insurance. No response in 24 hours. Asked again. I wanted to pay for the lot with paypal and use the discount code. No response. Finally the last day of the month I asked again. No response again.

Yesterday I got an email (10 days after the auction ended) that said he was at disney for a week and now he's in a 2 week jury trial. I told him I already bought the cards I needed and didn't want his.

He says I should have contacted him before bidding, if I needed to know that fast, and that he has 30 days to respond. He wants me to pay his fees.

Anybody else deal with accwfu before?

HE should have stated in his auction that he wasn't going to be there for the endings.
It's common courtesy to provide an invoice within 3 business days (3 any days for most people)....but your are still binding..even if he has a full schedule.

He should have said that item might not ship for a month....but then again...don't we all have friends/children/loved ones or significant others that can mail out a package for us??

You're stuck in the grey area man...and it stinks!!

But try to resolve it with him..and avoid any retaliation or nasty feedback

He knew he was going he should have mentioned it in the auction. Ask him if he trip was a last minute vacation ( doubt it) He left you in a lurch. I would have moved on a 2 weeks and left a negative. I will not coward down to protect feed back. He doesnt deserve a positive at this point regardless of what he does.

Tell him to take a hike. I believe that Ebay says you can file an "Item not Received" after 10 days - so they think you should have it also in 10 days. I wouldn't pay his fees - but you can cooperate with him so that he can get back his final value fees from Ebay. He will have to file a dispute, but you can both respond and you will not get a non-paying bidder mark.

Good Luck.
