Wait a few more days and email the seller again? Sometimes things get lost in the mail -- it's happened to me, with a necklace I really wanted. The seller refunded my money in that case.

I finally got disgusted and gave him a negative feedback. Funny, he responded to me in less than an hour. He's all outraged that I gave him a negative even though he took my money and didn't send the merchandise.

I hope he does not negative you. Maybe this lit a fire under his ass and if you get the bras, you can tell him that you MIGHT withdraw the rating.

Is it just me, or do the eBay alerts always come in late? I use Gmail, and when someone outbids me, often I don't get the alert until an hour later - sometimes AFTER the auction has ended! Sometimes, I'll get the "you did NOT win" notice before I get the "you have been outbid" notice. Is this common?
I really, really need to give eBay a rest for a bit. I've bought about 12 things this month alone (some very inexpensive, but still), and have been neglecting my "regular" shopping in favour of sitting on my ass online.

I thought that was just me! The alerts have been like that for a while now, but it's been getting worse every so often. It's so very annoying.

This is the second time in a couple of weeks that I have sold an item and the buyer has not paid for it! I think that deserves an automatic banning on Ebay. Now again, I have to go thru the whole ordeal of filing a complaint to get my listing fee back. Both times, the buyer has had zero feedback. Can I make a rule where you have to have at least 10 feedbacks to bid on my items? This is getting old.

Yes you can - lots of sellers have that rule, or the "no neg feedback bidders" rule. There is also the 3-strikes rule, so even though the buyers won't get banned for your non-paying-bidder report, it goes towards their strike total.
And count me in as another one who gets the alerts too late.

Hey, y'alls. I'm about to list a metric shitload of stuff in April -- like several hundred things. (It's mostly Old Shit: books, Virginia Cavalcade magazines, cufflinks & buttons and dozens of vintage postcards.)
Is there some special eBay service I can sign up for, maybe a Power Seller deal or something, that I can use for just that month so I don't pay any more in insertion fees than I absolutely have to?
Please advise. Thanks!

Oh, what kind of vintage postcards? Do you have any from motels/amusement parks/et cetera?

I've got a bunch from cities in the early 20th century: New York in 1910, Philadelphia and Boston around 1920. And some "souvenir folders" with postcards from smaller cities in the 20s (Atlantic City, St. Petersburg, FL, that kind of thing). I've also got some international cards from the 20s.
I'm kicking myself hardcore because I can't find the 5 or so vintage postcards from the tricentennial of the founding of Jamestown in 1907 -- and there's a major celebration for the quadricentennial this spring/summer. QEII -- the woman, not the boat -- will be there for it and everything, and I put those damn postcards somewhere a couple years ago and forgot where it was. Grrrrr.
