What would you say was reasonable delivery time?

I sold an Item on ebay 7days ago and I emailed yesterday appologised for not getting the part in post yet and promised to post out first thing monday morning.

Is this a reasonable turn around? Basically I've been posting stuff all week and working full time I didn't get them all off straight away.

'Cos i've been getting attitude for not posting quicker! feel like refunding the paypal and telling them to fuck themselves

 

i aim to post the same day or the next morning at the latest-but i do this for a business so i suppose its different for me, i would say a week is fine for a non business to post, at the end of the day people have to realise that buying privately you have a job and other commitments that come first.

hth

Tricky

 

It would have been worst if I hadn't kept in touch.. but I had!

 

i have just had this problem aswell cos the item i posted was 2days
late i have been getting a bit of attitude aswell.

theres only so many times you can apologise before
you tell them to fuck off

 

Some people are so impatient! really pisses me off

 

i felt a bit bad cos the parcel was late and i kept apologising but
when the guy started giving me attitude through e-mails
i got pissed off.

 

if im waiting for something, usually wait 10 days then send them a polite email

 

i actually tryed putting someone of buying my 3 door kit of me as he said it would take up to 6 weeks to get to him.he brought it anyway so i sent it to him.every other week i was emailing to see if he had it.4 weeks later it was there he was very happy.
i will wait up to 2 weeks then email asking nicely whats up..
plus to post i only have saturdays as i work late all week.

 

When ive sold something, if im late in posting it i always send an email just telling them that it will be later as i havent posted it yet.

But when i have bought something, i always check to see how long delivery will be and if it isnt here within that time i send a polite email letting them know it hasnt arrived.

Dont understand why people have to send emails with attitude, especially if they have recieved emails letting them know about any delays.

 

Sold some stuff a few months ago, explained that I was on holiday when the auctions ended, so asked winning bidders to be patient. On my return my grandad passed away. Feeling shitty I posted the goods a few days later along with an email explaining my circumstances.I still was left crap feedback by one of the coonts

 

looking thru e-bay, rules say sellers are within their rights to post upto 28 days from auction end

 

tell em to fook off , around 2 weeks is more than acceptable for non business post - just refund them and resell

 

28 days is in e-Bay guidelines at Jon says

In some of my adverts I do state paying by Paypal does not give the buyer the right to get goods the following day in the post, occasionaly I will reply that I actually work for a living instead of claiming JSA to sit on my arse at a PC everyday

 

 

Well I had my say
I'll let you know the email reply ... and the negative feedback comment I'll probably get

 

The thing that pisses me off about e bay is when people won't leave you feedback until you leave them some.
