How long before I should get worried?

TennesseeDaveTennesseeDave Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭✭✭
I bought an 1807 DBH in Pcgs F-15 off e-bay Wed. night from a seller that I have not done business with before,but has 341 total feedback and 99.7% positive feedback.It was a BIN listing which required an instant pay-pal payment which I did.So far I haven't had any contact from the seller.No ackknowledgement at all.I e-mailed them this morning to see if they realized that the listing had ended.Should I be worried at all yet?

    Many sellers simply mail the coin upon receipt of payment without any contact. I would suspect that is the case with your seller too.

  • It's only Friday, you know. I have BIN'd items off of eBay, and had no contact with the seller whatsoever. No courtesy emails, no shipping notice. The coins showed up a few days later. No reason to be worried.

    But keep us informed.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    You shouldn't be worried until NEXT Friday. Just because they haven't contacted you doesn't mean they haven't sent it. The seller has very good feedback, I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Positive BST transactions with: too many names to list! 36 at last count.
  • Of course you should be worried. You'll probably never get it.
    That seller should have delivered it to you no later than 9am Thursday morning.
    Leave him a neg immediately, and file a Paypal complaint to get your money back. Don't wait another minute.
    Sellers that don't sit at their computers 24/7/365 and don't overnight express every thing they sell, shouldn't be allowed on Ebay.

    Now seriously, give the guy a little slack.

    OK,cut me some slack.I didn't say anything about negging the guy.I have not ever negged anyone or gotten one in over 7 years of buying and selling on e-bay.I know when I'm selling I usually check on my auctions daily and respond asap to let the winner know that I appreciate their business and that I'll get the item out within a day or two.I wasn't worried yet.Just wondering how long does it take before a person should get concerned.This was one of my more expensive coin purchases lately.Since the original post I have been contacted by the seller who says the item was shipped Thur. morning. The coin was the topic of another thread and I will update it with better pictures when the coin arrives.

    Every time I buy something on ebay, I request the seller to email me when he ships and to provide the tracking number (if applicable) when I submit payment, be it by PayPal or by check. 99% of the time I get an email.

    If it is an expensive item and I don't hear anything after 3 or 4 days, I send him another email requesting the information. Generally I get a response to this email or the item shows up. So far, I have had a 100% delivery rate.

    A BIN with PayPal? No worries, mate.

    Take a deep breath and switch to decaf.

    After a week with no response, you may chew your fingernails a little bit.

    At two weeks, you are permitted to get nervous and pace the floor.

    At three weeks, then you can freak out.

    Some sellers just ship without communication. I myself do not usually email people upon shipping, but I do leave feedback when they pay so they know I received payment.

    Dave,

    I am a pretty uptight guy myself. I purchased a coin on Monday with BIN and I have not heard from the guy. But I won't start sending out smoke signals to him for another few days. Even then it will be a "Just checking did you receive my payment" type email.

    Don't worry just yet.image
    Best Regards,

    Rob

    << <i>You really should have started worrying the hour before you entered your final bid….that is the best time to begin world-class worrying. It gives you more time to work up to a psychotic state of enhanced paranoia. As it is, by waiting two entire days to develop mild angst, you’ll barely have time to curl up in a fetal position in the closet, before the postman brings your package.

    Maybe Santa will being you a nice new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) – II for your very worrisome own.

    Give the seller – and yourself – a break: have a cold beer, go on a date with a woman.....get away from the stupid computer. >>

    Internet selling is a communication business. I'm always surprised by sellers that lack that ability.
