to think that on ebay someone should say when they can actually post item out

[mustsleep]

i prob am bu but still

bought a buggy buy it now on sunday as i sold mine on here, used buy it now as i wanted it quickly and the postage method is courier

then messaged the seller to ask when to expect delivery and she says she can;t post till friday i wich she had putthat in the listing!!

i know i should have messgaed b4 buying it but just assumed as it was buy it now she would be able to post whenever

never mind

but typically as i have no buggy it has picked this week to rain all week

Does it say anywhere on listing "seller will dispatch within xx working days after received payment" or something like that?

Unless she has stated in the item description that she can't post item until friday, i would expect it to be posted on either the monday or tuesday.

How bloody annoying for you though to have no buggy in this weather.

speaking of which hun did u manage to post the zapp mustsleep... i know iv had that b4 too u woul think the sooner u pay the sooner u should recieve i boughta buggy off ebay 17days later it arrived i always pay straight away too x

must sleep, I had a similar thing happen, then after trying to contact seller loats of times it finally came. Seller gave me negative feedback, went on about " some people have to work you know"!!!!

YANBU. She should have said when she could post it. I usually make sure my items end on a day when I am not working so I can post them that day or the day after.

not it didn't say anything about it anywhere just that it would be sent via other couier and would cost £20!!!

hi myHOHOlola have emailed her about it ... it got picked up on tuesday so i thought that it would be with her on wednesday but having looked at my dleivery receipty thing it says that it's dhl home postage whatever that is

am going to track it now , brain is getting rather seive like lately , must be all the getting rained on!

bollocks and now dh has come up with the super idea of spending some family time together by going out for the day tomorrow, but with no buggy that's impossible now!!

typical that he would pick this weekend

and then even though she knew i had no buggy has not posted it out on friday like she said as she had an emergency

but now he dh can post it out this morning jst another week wasted then, why couldn;t she just get him to post it last bloody week arrrrgggghhhh

didn't get this messgae until now would have said forget it if he hadn't already posted it

I bought some clothes for ds when he was 3 months old. Got message to say they would be posted next day. Got another message at the end of the week to say that their child had been ill and they hadn't got to post office, but would be in post the next working day. I replied saying that was fine and hoped her child was feeling better.
When the parcel had not arrived after 2 weeks I emailed to check that everything was OK and said that I understood if her child was still unwell, but that I wanted an idea of when I would get things. Didn't hear anything, so waited a further 2 weeks and sent a similar email.
It was only when I sent another email, by this time 7 weeks after I had bought the item, asking for a refund that I got a reply. No, there hadn't been any problems, she'd just not got round to posting it, she was apologetic, but when I had bought the items ds was putting on weight at the rate of 10 oz a week. When the clothes finally turned up 9 weeks after I had bought them, luckily his growth had slowed and he was only 3lb heavier than when I had bought them for immediate use and I have had 4 weeks use out of them. The person did include another free outfit, but when a person buys a 3-6 month item 2 months earlier you might think twice before sending a 0-3 freebie.

So, YANBU, using a buy-it-now option allows the seller to get money earlier and usually more than they might have got from auction if there are similar items available.
I will be listing things this Thursday (29th) and have stated when I plan to post things, but also that if things don't go as planned I will contact folks to let them know. Most folks don't mind waiting as long as they are kept informed and the wait isn't longer than a day or 2 more than they were expecting.
