You pay NOW

[baydistributionllc]

 

Im not waiting around multiple days for someone to pay. When I make a deal and the buyer pays I ship FAST. I don’t do anything else until I have shipped ALL the orders. We made a deal. They held up their end now its time for me to deliver my end. Thats how deals work since the inception of deals. Its honesty and integrity. Its whats expected and its what I do.

   I don’t care if ebay thinks you should get multiple days to pay for something. I run my business and I say you get ONE. One day. If the buyer is afraid it will be gone and ask for a couple days Im glad to accommodate. That would then be part of the DEAL.

    Go to walmart and take an item up and ask them to hold it for eight days. Ill bet that isn’t happening. 
    Check out this guy. Admits calling me relentlessly on the telephone. Admits using a second account to circumvent my blocked list. Its right there in the feedback. Ebay refuses to remove it via the help tab. I don’t call Singapore CS ever so it will remain forever. Just fragrantly violating multiple policies and ebay doesn’t care.

This is why I prefer Buy-It-Now purchases, because not only do I secure the item right away, but I pay right away and get the seller paid up in full, so that there are no problems or misunderstandings.

When I do auctions, however, I try to pay close attention to what date and time it will close to also pay the seller ASAP.  But, in some cases, due to time zones, illness, accident/ injury, I may be delayed in meeting the deadline, and as it is, the unforseen conditions may straight-up prohibit me from doing so. 

That's why there is a 4 day window. I would hate to be labeled a deadbeat on the Bay because I was in the ER getting 60 stiches when my wacky widget auction closed.

Guess what, you ARE going to wait 4 days for the buyer to buy if for some reason the buyer doesn't pay right away. You agreed to this when you signed up. If you don't like it, leave. I am surprised you have earned that much feedback with that nasty attitude.   This is Ebay, not Walmart. Sometimes, people bid w/o money. They need a few days for the money to arrive to their account. This place has always been different than a retail store.  You can not compare Ebay to a retail store.    A few more of those negatives and you will comply that is assuming ebay doesn't suspend you permanently.  Use fixed price, immediate payment if you need the $$ rightaway.

Please add me to your BBL at your earliest opportunity. I would not want to mistakenly make a purchase from you anytime in the future.  Thank you for posting.

Hey ss.51_82, I was going to say the same thing.  We must be cousins to think alike.  To the poster, add this ID too to your block list.

My request was solidified after reading the seller feedback replies to neutral, and negative feedbacks.

Great entertainment for a cold day.

Although I am well aware of how to handle such sellers it is something that I have no desire to deal with.

All I could think was , wow, just wow.

To be honest with you I would be **bleep** off too, if a seller cancels because I didn’t pay within the 4 days eBay allows. Most people have busy lives a are not in from of a computer everyday. 4 days is not very long. People need more patience. The buyer in this case did absolutely nothing wrong.

In your case the buyer eventually paid $10.00 more than the deal you agreed with them earlier. I think if you would’ve went back to the original deal you agreed to you wouldn’t have gotten the big red donut. Since the buyer ended up paying more shows he/she had no intention of not paying in the first place and really wanted the item. 

If I were the buyer I would’ve reported the cancellation to eBay in addition to give the seller a big red donut.

Unless you communicated to the buyer BEFORE accepting the 'deal' that you DEMAND payment within X hours, there is NO "integrity" in this transaction- since the Policy of this Site is the "integrity" that matters.

So sorry for the headaches over the item being placed on hold & the buyer not paying promptly. Please remember that ebay allows time for the buyers to pay for best offers. Call it a short term lay away plan. After 4 days if no payment is received, just cancel the order, relist the item, & block the buyer from future purchase in your store. Yes, we might lose a sale by having the inventory not available while waiting for a potential payment. However, those are the rules on the ebay platform. 

Just take a deep breath & eveything will be OK. Don't let a negative feedback affect you too much!!! We all get them from time to time!!!

If you want buyers to abide by YOUR rules, you set your listings so they can't buy UNLESS they are in compliance with your rules. 

And that means fixed price listings, IPR and no BO option. 

Your replies to the well-deserved negs are the most unprofessional responses I've ever seen.

Feedback replies rank right up there with that seller of train stuff. That "train" guy has serious, serious issues.

I've been pretty clear before that I think the 4-day window for the buyer to pay for an item on offer is ridiculous - they should have a payment method on file and when the seller accepts the offer - the item is sold...OR remains available for someone else to purchase if the buyer wants to putz around and leave the seller hanging for *reasons*, good or bad.

However, we make a contract with eBay, and the stipulations of that contract is 4 days, that actually, is the DEAL.  We're 'vendors on a managed marketplace' and no more, and those are the house rules.

[spark-chaser1]

I belong to another auction site where I do have payment info  on file, and all of my wins are instantly paid for at the closing.

It's the same there  with best offers, as this case was. Offer accepted? CHING! done. 

Works great for the most part. But that isn't the policy here, so... 

I haven't read over the OPs feedback responses, but from cliff-noting what's been said here,  I'd be leery of doing business lest I fall foul through no KNOWN fault of mine.

But in your words below, in response to someone's neutral feedback, where they bypass eBay policy -

"You can be "at war with" parts of ebay but its their world and you are going to LOSE" ??

You demand that a buyer abides by eBay policy but at the same time pick and choose which parts you want to abide by?

You can't have it both ways.
