Why is it that on EBay the seller wants you to pay right away? Yet when the buyer does( as soon as they won it ) the seller takes there sweet time sending it out?

Not sure. I ask buyers to pay within three days and ship the next day. I guess some sellers call that their "handling" time.

I won't ship until get paid and then because of this thing called life, might not be able to get to the post office immediately. I try to do it within 3 business days of getting paid.
When I buy, I pay immediately and as long as it gets shipped within a week, I don't care. I understand that life can get in the way and that a seller might want to try to schedule a trip to the post office once a week and try to consolidate packages going out.

what I dont like is the fact that Sellers can hold out on good feedback UNTIL you give them good, regardless of how poor their service is.
Sellers should be required to give feedback within 24hrs of payment being made, not being able to wait until I get my item and give them feedback.

What is FAR more irritating is when they either mark it as "shipped" or goes as far as to print out a label with tracking info on it so it shows on ebay as shipped but then don't go ahead and mail it. As long as I eventually get it, I don't care but it is mildly nerve racking because it can make you start wondering if they are trying to scam you.
The one thing you have to always keep track of is the 45 day clock that Paypal is keeping on your funds. Once that time expires, you can't get a refund - even if you purchase from overseas. This is the only reason to be a little anxious when people don't ship right away, but just check their ratings and you can tell pretty quickly if it is a problem or not.

Sellers should also be allowed to leave negative feedback when a buyer does not pay , but they cannot.

You can look at the sellers Shipping and Handling before you buy an item. Also, why the rush? Did you order a Kidney?

I'm pretty easy going as a seller. I will let the buyer pay whenever he can AS LONG AS HE COMMUNICATES that to me. I too have been there, bid on something because it was a hell of a deal, but need to wait until Friday to get paid, no biggie, but just let me know. Also if the buyer renigs, that's okay too, just let me know so I can relist and move on.
But damn, if I take some time to ship because I wanna get the perfect box or some other unforeseen reason, I get threatening emails and bad stars. Oh well, price of doing business with eBay. I think I'll adopt the Club's philosophy, It'll ship sometime next month or we had a glitch or due to unforeseen shipping regulations it won't ship until next week.

Regarding the shipping, paying for an item is quick and fast via paypal. It takes less than a minute, so there really is no reason why you can't pay within 24 hours...if you don't have the money you shouldn't be bidding in the first place. Shipping is a little more involved logisitically. Due to work & personal schedules, I can only make time to pack & ship on certain days. I time the ending of my listings so if you pay in time, I can ship fast. If you drag ass on paying, then it starts to hit the days where I can't ship as fast, so you will wait. Also, if you aren't motivated to pay fast, I sure as hell probably won't be motivated to ship fast. But the OPs post is a little too broad to lump all sellers like that. |
