COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY !!!!!! TO EVERTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY !!  LETS FACE IT SOMETIMES THINGS GO WRONG THAT PEOPLE DONT PLAN FOR BUT, IVE DISCOVERED THAT LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS MAKE MATTERS WORSE. I HAVE RUN INTO THIS SITUATION ON BOTH THE SELLING END AND THE BUYING END. HERES AN EXAMPLE I BID ON AN ITEM ON MARCH 18TH WON THE ITEM AND EBAYER DIDNT EXCEPT PAY PAL SO I CALLED , GOT THE ADDRESS SENT A CHECK AND THE CHECK CLEARED A FEW DAYS LATER BUT NEVER RECIEVED THE ITEM. SO , I SENT COUNTLESS EMAILS AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I CALLED BUT GOT NO ANS OR A BUSY SIGNAL. SO I WAITED AND HEARD NOTHING. I KEPT SENDING EMAILS AND STILL NO RESPONSE! FINALLY I HAD TO LEAVE NEG FEED BACK WHICH I HATE DOING !!!!!!!! AND GOT EBAY INVOLVED!! NOW THE SELLER SAYS I LOST YOUR ADDRESS! WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! MY ADDRESS WAS ON THE CHECK ITS ALSO ON THE INVOICE ITS ALSO AVAILIBLE FROM EBAY!! NOW MAYBE THIS WAS A HONEST SITUATION OR MAYBE ITS NOT AND REMEMBER THIS TRANSACTION INVOLVED A TOLTAL OF 12 DOLLARS AND 1 CENT. SIMPLE COMMUNICATION COULD HAVE SAVED THIS SITUATION FROM BEING A MESS ! THINGS LIKE HEY I WENT TO PACK THE ITEM AND IT BROKE OR MY DOG ATE IT OR WHATEVER MY POINT IS THAT THINGS GO WRONG SOMETIMES AND SOME TIMES THE SIMPLE ACT OF JUST SIMPLE COMMUNICATION  BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS CAN SAVE A LOT OF AGGRAVATION. ANOTHER EXAMPLE , I PUT UP A MINT SET FOR SALE AND IT SOLD FOR LESS THAN 10 DOLLARS , ITS BEEN 10 DAYS NOW AND NO PAYMENT AND NO COMMUNICATION. MAYBE THE TRANSMISSION WENT IN MY CAR AND I DONT HAVE THE 10 DOLLARS!! WELL OK TRUST ME I KNOW FIRST HAND THINGS HAPPEN JUST PLEASE COMMUNICTE WITH ME THATS ALL I WILL UNDERSTAND , SOMETIMES THINGS GO WRONG. MY POINT OF THIS BLOG IS VERY SIMPLE , SOPMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN AND SOMETIMES SIMPLE COMMUNICATION CAN AVOID PROBLEMS. SIMPLE ISNT IT !

I agree it annoys when people are STUPID I had someone e mail asking why I hadnt sent the item Why because I hadnt got payment Answer do you need it before you send.
I also hate it when they keep you waiting for ages for payment I need payment so that I can buy more items
Mistakes do happen and sometimes people have a problem with paying or sending but all it takes is a simple e mail so agree with you

There are some irresponsible buyers out there that just don't get it. Maybe they think they are on the lay-a-way programs that were around in the 70s. And it's these same buyers that eventually won't leave any feedback. Just ignert idiots that think the sun rises and sets around THEM!

Mutual communication is the basement in every interaction in life!

I AGREE 110%, the contact seller option show up on every other page it seems. you'd think they could knock out a quick reply on it.

OH, right....didn't loose the check or their way to the bank, did they?!!
What's their excuse for avoiding your emails and calls? The seller accepted payment and made a deposit with your money. There is absolutely no excuse for this seller's actions. It was the SELLERS RESPONSIBILITY to contact you IMMEDIATELY! You don't deposit someones money then completely avoid them! Sorry, it's just wrong!
