Doing business on eBay
Here is the routine that I try to follow when doing business on eBay:
As a buyer, I often will email the seller within minutes of the end of
auction, far earlier than eBay's notice and often, well ahead of contact
from the seller. The sellers seem to like this because they know that
I'm anxious to complete the deal. No worries waiting for the buyer (me)
to answer their email. I try to follow through with prompt payment and
advise the seller when payment has been mailed. I ask them to let me
know when it arrives. Saves a bit on the nerves that way. I also let the
seller know when the product arrives and leave feedback immediately.
You get nice feedback that way.
As a seller on eBay, I contact the high bidder(s) promptly with payment
instructions and a total (when possible). I ask them to respond with
their address and any special delivery instructions so that I can
prepare their package for delivery. I email them when their payment
arrives and again when I ship their item(s). I'm prompt about leaving
feedback for the buyer. When it's appropriate, I will follow up after
the item was delivered.
If there is a problem, I write and ask: "I hope that you will work to get this transaction completed
successfully. Please maintain contact with me until this business is
finished." If necessary, I will request the other party's info and contact them by phone.
