91Bravo WTF

Doesn't sound like either party is at great fault. I usually give more than a few hrs to pay, but it can cost me any other buyers that want it also. They aren't always around by the time the 1st deal dies. Thus I can see why some are in a hurry.
Where both may be at some fault is in communication. Seller could have stated(haven't read the sales thread so maybe he did), that funds needed to be paid within some time period or he would move to the next person. This would have alerted the buyer to the need for quick payment(or his interpretation of quick payment). As for buyer, if I have an I'll take it in, I would have let the seller know that I had to go to bed, and wouldn't be back for a bit and would pay up then. This is presuming I didn't already have the PP account info needed to pay before going off to bed. Buyers that go missing are a problem-seller doesn't know when or if they will again turn up-so letting the seller know what is going on helps a lot.
In the end it is the sellers call.

On Sunday-thursday it's only 1 day for me to get the money transfered. Have had it take 3 once in while but 1 is the norm here. Just sayin and might not be the case for everyone. And if does take 3 days I'd want the buyer to pay even sooner so could make the transfer from PP quicker.
Communication is key, if your gonna make someone wait should let them know, if you do that 9/10 times they will wait. I've had to many people flake on deals to give people much waiting time without them staying in communication anymore.

I've done a deal with you before on JD and think your good people and understand where your coming from, but exchange moves at quick rate and people just wanna get deals done with for multiple reasons. Nobodies really right or wrong here as I see it, is what it is.
 
Yep no worries here. A total of about 10 hours downtime from commitment to trying to pay. Can't do any better than that from my end. Would have helped to know he needed the funds in 4 hours though. But then again if he needed the funds in 4 hours or anybody for that matter, I ain't your man. Moving on....
 
After I post 'I'll take it' I immediately PM & e mail a request for payment info.
Soon as I receive it I pay right away. Will send another PM & e mail notifying seller of payment sent.
I have never missed one deal this way.
I know I wouldn't post I'll take it and then go off line for hours without further comms.

You're just trolling now. Don't be mad at me because you took a Dremel to a brand new M4 CF PM2, slipped with the Dremel and gouged it up. Sure you may not be able to read my posts, but everyone else can. You are in the wrong here and besides, this isn't the thread for that.

To the original OP, a simple PM/email stating that your paypal was acting up would have been perfectly sufficient with me. All in all, coming here to cry about it didn't really help anything. If I list something for sale and someone states that they want it and I don't hear back from them, I would do it again and move on to the next buyer. A simple PM to me would have been great instead of coming here and publicly crying about it. Lesson learned on my part, stating ALL of the conditions of my sale thread, to keep the tire kickers and whiners away.....

Thank you, this is unspoken common sense, which isn't very common nowadays which is evident from this thread....:rolleyes:
 
For a while I had a very detailed "buyers condition" list... I think it mostly upset many people because it excluded them. But that is the point sometimes...

I think longbow is too upset over something that cost nothing. No lost knife. No refunds needed. Just upset. And Bravo, just a hasty seller. No rule against that, might not be the best method but is allowed.

MOVE ON BOYS
 
I've literally never taken more than 30 minutes to send funds when buying. If PP isn't working, then you communicate and figure it out. You don't go to bed and hope for the best in the morning.
 
If for some reason you have to go to bed/leave the house/do anything for an extended period before the transaction is wrapped up, you the buyer need to make absolutely sure that the seller knows you are 100% committed to buying the knife and will be back in X number of hours to pay. That means sending an email, sending a PM, and posting in the sales thread, if you have to. Because if you don't, you risk leaving the seller hanging, and it's really not fair to them, especially because other potential buyers' interest may very well wane in the time it takes to reestablish contact with you.
 
One of my pet peeves is when someone says "I'll take it", doesn't follow up, then goes missing. If you were having trouble with paypal, YOU should of let 91bravo know right away. Communication is key, and a little common sense can go a long way.
 
You snooze (literally) you loose. No one is obligated to sell anybody anything. It takes seconds to paypal.

LOL that is pretty funny ............You snooze you lose..............LOL :D
And that is what happened here.

Starting a thread like this is completely absurd. If anyone lacked the proper communication in this it was the op (as others have said). Yes, bravo could have waited until the next am (I probably would have), but guess what - he is the seller - it's his call.
Truthfully - nothing to see here....other than maybe the OP is wound too tight.
 
longbow "PP would not acknowledge the cut and paste I was doing with the email address he supplied."

Just FYI, I've had a similar problem. What had happened was my copy pasted in a blank space at the end of the address that PP read as an extra character. So now if I cut and paste, I backspace to clear the blank.

I think we all understand as much as we're going to. As RevDevil likes to remind us, Communicate!
