How Many Days Should I Wait?

BeerNutta · 09-06-2006, 11:59 PM

How many days after winning and paying for a statue on ebay should I wait before I should start demanding my stuff?

Just wondering.

Also will demanding my stuff result in breakage?

Well, the way your coming across, forgive me if I'm ''reading into this''. Even though you won it, you shouldn't demand, wait patiently for at least a week. After that you may want to send an e-mail, but be cordial. An yes if you demand it may get ''kicked'' alot!

Also, look for this to be moved. Wrong section.

first, I'm moving this to the general section.

However, I would wait at least a week after you paid to ask politely if he has shipped it yet. dn't start off angry, that only makes it worse

Heh,

I aint angry. I was just wondering. hehe

Maybe demand was too strong a word. I meant to say...

How long should I wait after paying before I should send email? hehe

A week at least, most/some people on e-bay have jobs an lives too. So just be patient, wait a week maybe 2 then if nothing send a polite e-mail ask if it's been shipped. When might you be expecting it.

Yeah, usually 1-2 weeks. If the items doesn't show up until then, I'll send an E-Mail.
If you paid with PAYPAL, don't wait longer than 45 days.

I always wait two weeks before I send anything. Usually a nice note with a please or thanks does the trick

You haven't said when you paid or how long it has actually been , so it is hard to tell you if you should be concerned or if you are a nut job.

Hi Folks,

Similar story here....

Won an auction on Ebay for Sideshow Hellboy 1/4 scale statue on the 31st Aug

Paid via PayPal on the 31st Aug.

I haven't received any coomunication from Seller regarding shipment. I have sent 2 polite emails asking for update on the 5th & 6th Sep.

As of writing this post I have still not heard from the seller.

Getting a bit concerned due to the fact he/she has not bothered to respond to email. Was planning to give the benefit of doubt until Monday 11th Sep. It no update is provided at that point I think I will have to initiate a complaint.

I am like Xavier.

I won the auction. I paid immediately. Then nothing.

No hey you won the auction. Nothing.

Waited a week. Then I sent a polite email stating that I won the auction and was wondering if it was going to be shipped out soon or has already shipped out. Got the reply, I will tell you when I send it.

And So the waiting game continues. ehheeh

I am not angry. I figure this guy must do all his shipping at once. But I am just a little nervous, cause I am from Australia and I not only have to contend with the seller sending my stuff but then hoping it gets here in one piece. Gah.

The price you pay to save a $100 bucks or so. eheh
