at a loss , no words

found some KAC grip panels on GB , lot of 4 for $29 ,used but didnt appear abused , some 0000 wool and oil should clean up nice , at that price worth a shot anyway

listing says PP only contact seller after auction for payment details , BIN only auction , so i smash the BIN button , shoot the seller a message thanking them and request PP info to get them paid , went and did some stuff came back no answer but the "seller review" of the order was checked so they are aware of the sale

send another message and also one from my email , been 3 days and not a peep, almost made the mistake of sending a MO but common sense prevailed and realized thats a big mistake sending money to someone that will not even contact me

i dont want a neg FB for non payment i have like 280 positive FB and never a neg ,at this point if the sale gets squashed im OK with that , tried contacting GB , only get a thing that says they have 5 days to contact me

its bizarre , i have never experienced this

That is strange. In the hundreds of ePay and GB transactions I've had it's very rare for a seller to not want to quickly transact a sale. Buyers, yes. Sellers, no. Any problems I've had has been with buyers outside of North America complaining about shipping costs, something that is completely beyond my control.

tried ph # no answer , mail box full

i agree , and as for shipping , it fluctuates so much the last few i sold i would package ,take to the PO , get them to print the quote and then provide exact shipping costs with a copy of the quote receipt , they are paying exactly what it costs and some still complain like i am somehow gouging , maybe something has happened to them ,hospital , death , something? the Ph# goes to a shop in Ga , i have 278 FB on GB and 388 on ebay and like you said , never had a seller ghost me , nor have i ever ghosted them

i use the Ph# as a last resort , i prefer to do it in written word that way everything is documented , when sending a message remember to check the CC box so a copy is sent to me , you can create a folder in your email to put them in so they do not clutter your inbox and delete the folder once everything is complete , but you have it to back yourself up , they can tell you one thing on the phone and recant later stating they did not say that , buy pretty hard to say it when its a message or email from them , i guess from here i will just wait until sunday and move on, i dont even feel right about pimp slapping them with a Neg because if they are in the hospital or something ,,,

I once had a guy's wife contact me to say that her husband was broadsided on the way to the Post Office, and he was in traction in the hospital. I figured, there goes my $500.

Three months later, the gun shows up at my FFL just as described in the auction with a note of apology for the delay.

Strange, but true.

Three days is not a long wait. Gunbroker says to wait 5 business days. Sounds fair. No reason to panic yet.

Some guys truly can't manage quick responses. I'm dealing with a guy over ordnance presently and he's unable to maintain a line of conversation or answer a pointed question properly. His ordnance seems to be correct when it arrives though, as described and all...

yes and no respectfully , if someone cant take 2 seconds and send a quick note or provide the info needed , especially when the buyer is doing their part requesting it ,ignoring it doesnt exactly set a tone of warm and fuzzy with the deal

any ways , woke up and they sent a reply with the info , but stated they were having issues with PP , but we never got to the PP part , sent the funds moments ago , fingers crossed , i hope it works out and the rail panels arrive just dirty like pictured , thats a pretty good deal for them

as sapper said , it happens allot with buyers , never had a seller , for me a "quick response is within 3 hours , 3 days ? sounds like you dealt with him multiple times , the first time was weird though right ? left you wondering what was going on ?

I deal almost exclusively on eBay. Most of that is automatic these days. Win the auction and pay almost immediately. Item is shipped or marked for shipment within an hour. Then there's the occasional guy that takes two to three weeks to ship the item. They can do this, it's within the rules, it's just aggravating when you're used to everyone else doing it much faster. I average about 7 purchases a month and in a years time I might have two that take forever to ship.

In over 1000 purchases, I've had two that sent me someone else's item. Both were passed on to the correct individual, I got the correct item returned once and refunded for the second. I only had one guy that screwed me over, said he lost the item and couldn't find it. I was refunded.

Make no mistake, when I'm doing business I'm on it until it's done. I sell something and it's in the mail in two hours but I'm retired... Guys are surprised at how fast it goes. Yes, I've been left wondering.

he seems to be on it now , he marked the order as paid , he has a link to a store and has a fair amount of USGI take off stuff

i dont ship within hours , but certainly the next day barring Sunday or if i have to work Saturday it will ship Monday , PO only open to noon

Seems that patience was what the doctor ordered.

They replied 2 full days before the required time limit.

That's just me, I don't like to hold another guy's property.
