    Ebay question

    Well i need to know something from those that are more familiar with the Ebay rules and such.I recently won a proof set of coins(wife year) and i paid the seller thru paypal 2 seconds after the auction ended.I have yet to hear from the seller and i am getting into a not so nice mood .I have sent a direct email(earlier today) and the payment cleared the same night i paid it.So my question is how long do i have to give this person until i snap on them ? The person has alot of good comments but after going a few pages more on the feedback i found a few that never received the items.So i await your assistance here

    Usually if you pay through paypal, the seller will just send it out and you won't hear from them. If you sent him and e-mail today, wait till the morning. Gotta give em some time. Btw how was your payment withdrawn from? Your bank account or an actual credit card? They don't cover you if you pay thru your bank account. Lame, I know but on a credit card you're fine.

    Don't trsut Paypal or E-bay. Cause E-bay owns Paypal. They wont cover you unless you pay thru an actual credit card. Otherwise you arent covered. I lost 115.00 since I paid thru my bank account. They said "Sorry" ... I owe Paypal 175.00 for an account I sold and the person did a chargeback on the account and 5 others. I don't ever intend on paying them back so If I were you, I'd really watch what you buy. Unless they has lots of sales and damn near perfect feedback.

    Well i just looked at the persons location and it turns out that i have a freind that real close to his store .Yea i remember you talking about being ripped off in that deal.The person has over 20000 positive feedbacks but a couple negs last month.I think i will talk to my bank and see what coverages i have with my Visa check card since its viewed as a normal Visa or a debit card.The main reason i am getting in the mode that something is wrong is that he states he must be paid within 5 days.So i think he needs to get on the ball lol.I will update here as things happen.

    So far lol.It drives me crazy when you buy something and the people take forever getting back to you.I was interested in a ball python recently but i guess the person does not want to sell anything as he NEVER replies back(its been a month) .So i guess some Ebay people act the same way.

    Re: Ebay question

    I got one of them too this week from a seller on Ebay I bought from.

    It's unable to be tracked though. No record exists for the tracking number on the PO website.

    Paid on the 5th. Supposedly shipped on the 9th. No package on the 16th. No response to my inquiries to the seller.

    Gotta love Ebay.
