I ordered a book on a Tuesday and it came the Wednesday the following week. Is that the normal amount of time for something to come? I am new on ebay and i was going to give neutral feedback because i probably wouldn't buy from the seller again. Is that the wrong thing to do?

Perhaps they waited for payment to clear or post only at weekends ? Should state on the listing. Unless they let you down or not as described then think +ve is the nrom.

How long does it take for paypal to clear? A genuine question, not being smart

If you paid via echeque it can take up to 7 working days. But I wouldn't leave neutral feedback as it may have been a fault with royal mail. I would only leave neutral or negative it the seller didn't respond to emails or item wasn't as described.

I payed via paypal. It didn't come via Royal Mail either, it was by another firm Parcel line i think (i could be wrong on that name.)

It was wierd because a guy in a normal car pulled up, threw the parcel over my side gate and left a reciept slip through my door. It was really strange.

i wouldnt leave neutral you recieved the item in less than 10 days you obviously happy with item

why would you not buy with again

you dont have to use royal mail to deliver your item providing buyer recieves it

thtas not bad timing itas less than a week you recieved item

you will wait longer for other items you but

seller deserves positive as item as described you got in less than week mnot his fault how someone left it but you recieved item

a seller has 7 days after cleared payment to post an item (ebay guidelines)

a neut would be unfair

The book looked like it had gotten wet and had been dried. You know how pages go when this happens? It was like that. The parcel packet was bone dry and didn't look like it had been wet. There were little scratches over the front cover as well. The book was one of these

contact the seller and explain the item is not as described. Inform them you would like a refund then you can return it (trackable) and get a refund

always e mail seller with any problems before you leave feedback then if they deal with it satisfactory it warrents a positive feedback
