Do I neg a well known person in the hobby?

I had an auction end over 2 months ago. I sent the customary e-mail notification at the end of the auction as well as sent additional e-mails. The winning bidder has told me that he is extremely busy and that I should know that he is good for it. I can fully relate and understand that the person is really busy since he is a well-known attributor and writing many articles that are currently being published in CW and NN from him.
Normally -- I wouldn't let this run out this long. But, since he is a well-known attributor/writer in the hobby, I wanted to be patient. But, how long is how long? So -- do I neg? or forget it? Is there a different standard for big-wigs in the hobby and how they treat people?

notify him that your relisting the item and be done with it.
I would not neg him/her
Of course not. However, I would only neg someone if I felt the need to warn others of a more meaningful risk.

He wasn't too busy to bid on your auction.
Some of the WORST dealers in the business are well known and big. So why should that grant them anything?

I finally contacted him told him of my plight and apologized profusely, he was very understanding and sent my coin upon payment. But this is an obvious blow off and if I were in your position I would feel disrespected and neg him only for the fact that he was "too busy".
He wasn't too busy to bid or too busy to reply so he could have paid in a timely manner.

If this is QDB.........give him another month.

Only if YOU allow it, which you shouldn't.

Let me say this -- it is NOT QDB.
I have 100% positive feedback and I will state this -- I don't care about the retaliatory neg. If I was to get a ret. neg, fine, so be it. To me -- it's the principle in this.
I am a professional attributor and I also write articles for NN. So I understand and can relate what he is telling me. However, with that said -- I am busy too. I have obligations to meet and I am trying to sell some coins so I can pay back a debt that I owe to someone else. But -- to me, and maybe I'm missing it here, but it comes across that I don't deserve respect in this attributor's relationship.

Then bust his a$$

OTOH, there is also a point where that goodwill is used up.
I suggest that you send this individual one FINAL letter. Be candid and curtious. Let them know that if you don't have payment with 3 days (at this point, they should be willing to overnight you, if necessary, at their own additional expense), then you will have no choice but to neg them. Let them know that you've agonized over this and let things go on as long as they have because they have done so much for the hobby. Still, you have bills to pay etc.
You'll get a payback neg, probably, but if they are as big and noteworthy as you say, they may also be big enough not to do so.
Good luck.

Nothing provokes a person to do the right thing like lots of encouragement.

Waiting 2 months is enough.

<< <i>Send him a reminder tell him you are going to relist the item if payment is not received by__Date_______ If he does not follow through then neg with buyer did not follow up on sale. >>
I would agree with this plus file a complaint with eBay.
Otherwise, YOU are doing nothing more than enabling them and affirming the fact that they are indeed above the rules.

Just the way it is, get used to it.
1) You send me money now.
2) I give you neg.
You people are WAY too generous! NEG THE BASS TURD!
If it were me that did not pay, I would recommend negging me under the circumstances.
The one exception would be a major illness, but even then, it takes about 10 seconds to PayPal someone. Of course, if the buyer died you could neg him, but he probably would not care (and you probably would not get a retaliatory neg) and you probably would not get your money.

That's why I'm not in the coin business, I'm kinda a softie. I'd never make it out there.
Could care less who it is. You need to go ahead and neg that guy.
At shows I will tell them where to go just as easily I would some tirekicker - could care less who they are in numismatics. They don't like how I operate my business they can KMA and they better not try to mess with me.
Don't provoke me and I won't provoke you. Mess with me and yer gonna get nuked. Could care less about collateral damage or world opinion.
If I didn't know better could this be VP Cheney or President Bush on the US Coin Forum! Uhh, sorry Mr. President if we offended you.

I'm going to do something I'll usually give them a few day warning.

Who are you trying to kid….. You have to sell to a buyer on eBay before you can give him a negative.
“better not try to mess with me”, what is that supposed to mean? Especially coming from someone who hides behind their keyboard and is evidentially scared of his own shadow (if I’m wrong open up your profile and give your eBay store name).
As someone else mentioned, your shift a Burger King must be starting, the heads need to be cleaned out.

Hmmm, puts one seller off for two months. I'd say there is risk he'd put others off for extended periods of time too.

would this clown wait 2 months on a payment from YOU or anyone else? Hell no. He took the time to bid and even email you....he can certainly drop a check in the mail.
File the NPB and relist. Then neg.

If you would have shut up after your first sentence, you would have sounded like a brilliant man in this thread.
