QUOTE: Originally posted by cnwfan11 You are the seller and you are selling stuff because you are hurting for money. You want to put food on your table and someone doesn't want to pay right away. Interesting.... If a seller is selling stuff,"to put food on the table",then where is that person getting the credit card,that IS required to open the account? There is no way a person can be that in debt if they are selling stuff on Ebay,and have a credit card to use.I personally am financially stable,yet having unexpected problems,or bills that suddenly appear,is what occurs most often with some people.Yes you can tell the seller about the situation,yet some really dont give a flying rap about it.They want the money and they want it now.Yes they may or may have not had problems with some buyers, but is it necessary to berate a first time buyer?!!,or in some cases,would you trust a company(ebay),or a seller to take your credit card number for security purposes,or for a purchase?There have been many a problem with hackers and what not that WILL tap into the account and ring up charges that you are not even aware of,or take money out of your account and who knows what they;ll do with it.Even sending out the payment and receiving the item takes time.What is really irate,is some of these sellers lack patience!!
I'm back!

QUOTE: Originally posted by cnwfan11 I agree with you,though I no longer have an account with them as I was threatened by a seller to send out a payment ASAP, even BEFORE the 7 day rule was up.I liked looking and buying old Tyco stuff,and Yatming semi trucks,I have many that I bought from Ebay,though now...I'm glad to be done with them.Yes when you agree to buy the item you are expected to pay for it,though ALOT of sellers are VERY impatient.Alot of things happen in a day,and in peoples lives.ie; accident,personal crisis,financial problems,etc,and most sellers dont even care about your problems. They lack the patience,and I feel that they are ONLY interested in getting the cash.Granted I have had many sellers who are understanding and are patient,but they are far and few,though they are the ones to do business with.To them, there are other things MORE important than money.Its interesting to read all the negative feedback from others whom have bought stuff from the seller.Makes you wonder if its REALLY worth it.
