I don't like to leave negs especially for a cheap card but....
Bought a card with BIN for $2.99 +$2.75 SH on Dec 9th and paid immediately.
On Dec 20th I sent seller a question reminding him it's been 11 days and asked if he'd shipped the card yet
He replied on the 22nd "Yes card was shipped last week. Sorry for the delay. Thanks again, Chris"
The card showed up today postmarked on the 21st and the 22nd
Not a big deal, wasn't in a hurry for it. It was just to complete a set but why lie like that especially if it's gonna be so obvious when I get it?
What would you guys do - just ding him on shipping time?

was the card damaged in any way ?
if it was wrapped nicely, and he didnt rape you on shipping; i'd let it slide.
#2 - Nothing lost on your end, right? ... It's Christmas time ... give him a break.
#3 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Just looked at his feedback and he got a neg from someone today that bought something on the 11th and still hasn't received it. That's jumping the gun a bit IMO but shows a similar issue
Guess I'll be nice but only cause I'm a nice guy

Now, if he DIDN'T send it out immediately after I contacted him, and I had to pursue him a second time just to get him off his butt to check, then that would be different story.
Nice ending
i had a different positive feedback left today: card measures short but in a psa 10 holder.
oh well.
merry christmas and happy new year!!
Thanks,

I know if I told someone that I mailed the item out only to find out later in the day that I had in fact did not
I'd email again just so I would NOT look like the white liar that this guy was.

Look at it this way, we all hate ebay. If you neg him for a delay and he has to pay higher FVF due to ebays retarded DSR policy, then ebay gets more money. They need to be squeezed until they squirm and go bankrupt.
Looking at his feeback though, it looks like this is normal procedure for him and the slow shipping wasn't just me. I do see that the more expensive stuff he's sold arrived to the buyers much quicker than the cheaper cards he sold. Not exactly a good business model IMO
And I do agree with Craig, I think if he really forgot to ship it and realized it after telling me it shipped a week before, a follow up email was deserved.
Not a big deal, the card showed up but it was 3 weeks to the day from when it was paid.
