eBay update
Oct. 11th, 2007 11:08 pmPackage arrived today - still no contact from the seller, mind you; it would have killed him to respond to my e-mail or to call and say "I shipped it on Monday"? (Postmark 10/8.) ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
resonant8 asked if I was sure the payment was delivered, but I have no idea how to find that out. I see from my PayPal that my card was charged on 9/27 and, in a related transaction, the payment to the seller was completed on 9/27. Does that mean he got the money on ... 9/27? Which was a Thursday. So allowing two business days, he should have shipped the thing on 10/1, and was therefore off his auction's promise by a week. Add the total lack of communication and you have a buyer who is all the way to disgruntled;
[it is now Thursday: Okay, I was sure I had posted the above last night. For "today" in the above paragraph, read "Wednesday 10/10". Turns out I just began writing it last night, and then got distracted by ... I don't even know what. Feedback, probably. The end of the story is, I left neutral feedback, saying I was very satisfied with the condition of the item as described but not satisfied or unsatisfied with the seller's shipping (he charged $9 for shipping but the postmark says $7.50; but I suppose the box and packing materials may have set him back another buck and a half) and very unsatisfied with his communication - and used my 80 characters to clarify that there was no communication at all and a week between when he should have shipped and when he did.]
[eta: And the little shit left me negative feedback! Sure, that he can get off his ass and do in a hurry. Ah well. He says "received item in 7 days and left bad feedback"; I say "promised to ship 2 days after pmt. shipped 10 days after pmt. i left NEUTRAL fb." Anyone who cares to can check into it, but I use eBay so infrequently that it hardly matters.]
