The best thing Tony can do is post a sincere apology, immediately lock this thread down and let it fade away b4 he makes the "do not deal with" list so many have running behind the scenes.

If you link you PP account to your bank account any payments are made instantly from that account. That's the whole point of paypal is it not ? I never have any money sitting in my PP account yet I can pay people instantly from the bank account I use for that.........

This is how I do it and I can send money to someone on the spot. They will have it before I can log off paypals site. I think this is how most people do it. I have dealt with a few people that have theirs setup where they deposit money into their paypal account and keep a positive balance. If they don't have enough in there to cover a purchase then they have to make a deposit and it takes a few days.

Sounds like there was some miscommunication here. In defense of the seller most of us have sold something to someone and had them never send the money. So that is what most people are thinking when they don't get it in a day or so.

I don't think Tony understood this. Live and learn. It doesn't sound like he was trying to pull a fast one or anything to me. It just sounds like he hasn't set up a bank account to fund his paypal account. Maybe he didn't know you could do that or doesn't want to.

If I hadn't gotten the transfer after a few days I would probably do what mossyhorn did too. No offense to anyone but the few times I haven't gotten the money in three days I haven't ever gotten it.
 
He did not send anything back which in my book means that he was satisfied with the deal.

In short, stripped away of all the butthurt, you made an assumption that was incorrrect.
I don't know either of you, but you'll just have to get over it and consider it a learning experience should anyone actually want to sell anything to you in the future after this little tantrum.

Just my two cents

I guess for all the people saying you have to pay quickly, if I had chosen MO he would be waiting longer. So waiting for Paypal was more "prompt" which is what the official exchange rules say.

I don't dispute that he is not allowed to sell whenever he wants. I am just wondering why he chose to sell when he knew it would be a day or two in our email correspondence. He got the email and didn't send anything back that said "hey I can't wait for funds."

Also, for those who thinks he is a standup guy or that I am over reacting, I prefaced my post knowing he was usually a good guy. I am just saying that I personally had an issue with him.

You can't assume that everyone sits by their computer all day checking emails. People work, they sleep, they drive, they leave town.

I had to have some one explain how to do the pay pal instant. I had one seller tell me how to do it, and even though I had already made a transfer over to paypal that would take a few days to show up, once I heard how to do it instantly, I pay pal'ed him the money instantly, then had my transfer show up a few days later and just left it in the account.

You just say "sorry about the confusion" and move on.


As a seller, I have had a guy bug me "have you shipped the knife yet" and I responded that I was still waiting for his payment (after holding the knife for him for a month....by agreement).

He was sure that the MO was already sent. Then he contacted me later and said "old lady forgot" It's on its way.

I waited because I was not hurting for the cash right then. If I had needed it for another knife, or medical bill, or car repair, etc etc etc I would not have waited. That's just how it is.


If your paypal is going to take a few days, instead of instantly, the seller can move on to the "second" or "third". Or he can refuse to sell to you for what ever reason. Coming on GBU to torpedo some one because he did not want to wait for another few days won't win many fans.

Now, if money had already changed hands, or if he had told you "it's yours, I will ship out as soon as that delayed pay pal" then you could be ticked when he gave it to number 2 on the list.

Well Mossyhorn, I apologized, instead of berating me you could accept it.

Let's recap, first you try to dictate the terms of the sale to the seller.
Now you try to dictate that he should accept your lukewarm (and IMO dishonest) apology - AFTER you've spent the better part of this long-ass thread taking potshots at the guy? Man, you're a real piece of work.

I think the lesson learned here is "BEWARE of Tony Nguyen", and for that I thank you.
It's not often on these anonymous forums that we're lucky enough to have someone like you reveal their true character. :thumbdn:
 
That was in no way an insult. How was anything in that statement insulting? I stated that I did not know he wanted the funds immediately because of the lack of communication and that it was my fault. I also stated that to avoid this problem in the future that I would use money orders. If it sounded that way, it was not intentional.

Your attitude towards my apology is obnoxious and reduces its integrity. I am sorry. I said I was. That should be enough for anyone. I feel that I have made my stance abundantly clear and if you think my apology isn't enough that is too bad because I know that I am actually sorry and your comments mean nothing because of the aforementioned fact that I know it to be genuine.
 
I will repeat a general statement of what was said before.

I am sorry for the incorrect assumption I made. I know I was wrong and I am sorry.

Tony
 
If a mod could lock this down now that would be fine with me. I don't think I can lock a thread as a registered user.
 
Well, good for you, Tony.
Too bad you didn't put a minimum of thought into it BEFORE you initiated this thread and went after the guy.
I do doubt the sincerity of your apology - but it's not up to me - that's a call that mossyhorn gets to make.

My personal view is that you've got some more work to do after posting some inflammatory BS like this:
In my dealings with him he was a dishonest seller and I believe people like him should not be able to do business on the forums.

Seriously, man - all that because YOU made an incorrect assumption.

Tony Nguyen: 9 transactions = 100% A+

Tony, I know you learned from this. So did Steve.

I did too: Now I will clarify MY own listings to ensure I get immediate payment via PP and not wait for authorization on unqualified full accounts.

If you can say and keep repeating this, you need to take a good honest look at yourself in the mirror and see yourself the way we are seeing you. What kind of a person are you to assume a Seller doesn't want to be paid immediately? If you need a Seller to hold something for you, you ask before you say "I'll take it".
