When you are dealing with someones money, you make a damn honest effort to ship that item as quickly as possible. "Oh, there was a Maury marathon on that day, I couldn't possibly leave the couch..." :lol |

I purchased a bootleg jamma board. Seller had 99.4 positive, usually don't mess with small merchants/individuals under 99.9 or so, but I was caught off guard by the guy taking a lowball offer on a BIN. Paid via paypal w/in 15 minutes. Approx Thurs the following week got a msg from seller stating he had been waiting for a jamma cab to test the (advertised new, working) board in as he stated in the auction, and just got the test cab, would test and ship asap. Ok, whatever. bought on saturday night late, etc. benefit of the doubt. Just got the message yesterday 5/15 that it finally went in the mail. I don't really care in this case, but I have a hard time giving a positive to a guy that took 11 days to ship something he allegedly had 10 of on hand. But at the same time I feel like ebay is getting to be such a rough deal that I hate to neg anybody, especially if it gets here and works as advertised, even if slow. But then really, I think I waited for the shipment to get to this guy. I don't like slow ship times, but I want to have ebay as an option to buy and occasionally sell. Hate to hear they're making it yet harder for vendors. It really sucks that Marco Specialties is taking 4 days to ship my orders. Thats kind of like your coke dealer no longer responding to your beeper pages. >:D TJC need pinball parts badly! |

Thats why I let people know right away, so they don't act that way! Like I said, I live far from the post office, and by going there every 10 days (its always less, just gives me time if somthing comes up) I can send more than one item at the same time, and thats why I can give people cheaper shipping! When they look at it that way they understand! But I won't expect people who don't know the cost difference to understand! :lol :afro: 8) |

Yeah there is a difference between shipping slowly and shipping according to the time-frame spelled out in the auction listing, which may be longer than you expect. Just something a buyer has to check out before bidding. Now, if it gets shipped after the time-frame specified, that I consider slow shipping and it will get mentioned in my feedback, at least. To the OP: I agree. I only occasionally sell things on ebay anymore, and only things that I can't find the right audience for on CL or Amazon marketplace. Between fees, shady buyers (far too common), and rules that are increasingly anti-seller (no feedback on deadbeat buyers? no thank you!), it is my last choice when I need to unload something. I have faith that eventually a better alternative will spring up and become standard for online auctions. |
