RE: Slow eBay seller
I waited two months for a package from the States (I live in Poland). When I finally received it I learned that it had spent a month at a Warsaw Post Office (and the camera wasn't functional, but that's another story...). So I guess we should have more faith in Ebay sellers and try to be a little understanding (unless they send you junk of course). Lukasz -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 6:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Slow eBay seller I got an eMail from the seller saying he sent the item, but after two weeks I hadn't received it. He was just about to send another one when it finally showed up. I figured he had probably forgotten to send it, but the post mark showed he had sent it when he said he had, over two weeks ago. Why the Post Office took that long to move it less than 80 miles is a mystery. But, it shows that sometimes it's not the seller's fault. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: Slow ebay seller
All- Thanks for the advice. I got an email from the seller last night, saying that he is shipping me the camera today. I did the same as Paul- just sent him an email saying that I haven't heard back from him and would like a reply. We'll see once the camera gets here.

Hi Paul, > I finally heard from the woman who hadn't paid me for the Yashica kit I had shipped. Prompted by my inquiry, she discovered to her embarrassment that she had never sent the money order; it was right there with her receipt. I`m glad it worked out for you! Just a simple "slip of the mind". > My letters to her were gracious: "Are you there? Are you OK?" It pays to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Words of wisdom spoken there.

Re: Slow ebay seller
http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MemberSearchShow fill in the contact info request form and ebay will email you the address and contact info they have on file. Hopefully it will still be valid. If its invalid then increase your level of worry about the transaction and act accordingly :) On Thu, Apr 18, 2002 at 06:21:13PM -0400, TM wrote: > Peter- > I don't have the guy's phone number, else I would call him. > > No checks to clear- PayPal and it has already gone through. > > Taka > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 1:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Slow ebay seller > > > In a message dated 18/04/02 18:03:01 GMT Daylight Time, Taka writes: > > << Any advice on how to prod a slow ebayer?

Re: Slow ebay seller
Taka, Did you check your feedback? Some sellers that I've dealt with don't e-mail me when they get the money, but give me my feedback.

RE: Slow ebay seller
I paid for an ebay item via Paypal on the 7th of the month. I asked him, on the 13th, when he was going ship it and his reply was that I should have it the beginning of this week. I'll give him until next Tuesday and, if I still don't have it, I'm going to notify PayPal first, to see what they can do, and then I'll leave appropriate feedback on ebay.

Re: Slow ebay seller
I must be ambidextrous. I can put either foot in my mouth. The mail just arrived and, guess what, my three lenses for $9.95 just arrived. The SMC Takumar 1:1.8/55 lens I was after is in Mint- condition. The 2X Soligor SM converter will go back on ebay to pay for the package and I will probably throw the Mamiya lens away unless someone wants it for price of shipping.
