This may be a little off subject but I think it should be said. I sell quite few parts on Ebay. I do not like to box up the item until after the auction has ended. This is because there are usually questions about each item. Whether it be more pictures or an intricate detail I had no idea to look for; I need the item in my hands to answer the question. After the auctions end (I list in batches so they all end at the same time), I invoice all buyers. Over the next couple days I package items up so they are ready to ship when payment arrives. Many people pay within seconds of receiving the invoice, which is usually within an hour of auction end. I usually send out the first batch of packages 2 days after auction end. This allows enough buyers a chance to pay that I have a load to take to the different shipping companies. More often than not I receive emails or feedback from the buyers about the speedy shipping time. However, I have received negative feedback from a buyer for shipping an item off 2 days after auction end! I even shipped the item a faster method than he/she asked for. Both sides have to be reasonable for the system to work. Some buyers demand shipment of an item the day after payment but wait 10 days to pay by PayPal. That is not reasonable in my opinion. Waiting a week to get back to the buyer of a manifold is also not reasonable. I am glad to hear the guy got back to you. When you place and item on Ebay you commit to a responsibility. If you cannot fulfill that responsibility you should not be selling. In fact, you also should not be bidding if you do not intend to pay or plan on demanding unattainable goals.
