So many complaints from Buyers, but what does one do about a Seller who hasn't yet notified the Buyer of the Payment Address and so forth?
I'm one who wants to mail out payment the next day so I don't have that on my mind, and this one's getting me kind of antsy.
Auction ended April 4th. I sent EOA notice requesting Sellers address and also offered mine. When I got no reply after 4 days, I sent a 2nd notice.
I really hate persuing a Seller, but I want my debts paid. And besides, every day that goes by makes me more uncomfortable.
BTW, Seller has perfect FB 700+, so maybe we just had a little weekend getaway. Oh well, maybe I've already had too much coffee

maybe for the seller having a buyer chase after him is a sick, twisted turn on. lol
I got high bid on something over in yahoo back in december and have yet to hear from seller in spite of numerous emails. very strange I may never hear from them....

rigdon625aolcom,
It may have something to do with AOL. I'm in the opposite problem...have several buyers w/AOL accounts but they either don't respond to the EOA or the email bounces (even the ones sent from ebay).

Boy, this is exactly how I feel today!
I won an auction on 4/6 and didn't receive any EOA notice from the Seller. I figure I am just as responsible for contacting them, so I emailed and asked for the total due & the address. The next day he e-mailed me the total, but no mailing address! I replied right away to inquire about the address, but so far no answer. I am still waiting to know where to send the money.
I won another auction last night and haven't heard from the Seller yet. I know, it's Monday and it has only been one day. Life happens, things happen, yada yada yada. I'll be patient, I guess, though that has never been one of my best qualities. I'd really like to pay for these things and be done with it.
Sellers: please get with the program! You went to all the trouble to list this stuff so you can make money. You were lucky enough to get me as a winning bidder (little Miss Fast Pay)....don't you want the money?
Okay, I feel better. Thanks for starting this thread!

I was on the other end of that AOL-Earthlink thing a week or two ago. I have no idea who actually received my EOA's and who did not... until I receive an e-mail asking for my address.
It's been an absolute nightmare and it was all AOL's fault.
Sellers (or buyers either, for that matter) can't always be blamed for the lack of communication. There's just too much that can go wrong in-between.

I'm primarily a seller, but have been purchasing quite a bit lately and I'm, dare I say SHOCKED, at how unprofessional some of these people are!
One person never contacted me, so I finally emailed them to give them my address so they can send me a total.
They send me their address, but no total and tell me they are busy packing items and will get me the total soon.
That was 72 hours ago! I've had things bought, paid for and in hand quicker than this!
Oh well, I guess I look like a GOD to some of my bidders. Maybe that's why so many say great communication and SUPER FAST shipping in my feedback.

Think of it this way, if you are having problems with the seller now, what happens when they get paid?
