Is it better to wait until the seller sends an invoice before I send the payment? I just want to send the payment and have it done, but I feel like I should wait for the invoice. What's right? As a fulltime seller, I always appreciate it when people pay before I've sent an invoice, as it saves me the effort. I interpret immediate payment to mean that the buyer really, really wants the item and I make sure that the item goes to the front of the line.

I interpret immediate payment to mean that the buyer really, really wants the item and I make sure that the item goes to the front of the line. Thanks, I had to wait several days for my buyer to come through on payment and then he paid with an eCheck, so I have to wait for it to clear. He's never responded to a single email that I've sent. How can I rate him? Also, I was checking out a seller of the jewelry that I mentioned above and he sounds like a total nut. He has a really arrogant message on his profile that basically says if you're not a born-again Christian then you're a douchebag. Now I regret sending him a message asking about the ring that I have that matches the pin he's selling. Also, the page says that this pin is antique and estimated at over $1,000 and that has got to be CRAP. I bought the matching ring in the mid 1980s and it probably cost $100 or less, so I have trouble believing him.

I once ran into a really serious pro-life mom selling...washable menstrual pads. Hmm.

At this point I don't think he deserves a neg. Especially if the cheque clears. And keep in mind if you neg him, he'll probably neg you right back, and you don't want your first FB to be a negative. (I'm not saying he's behaved well - the lack of communication isn't cool) Have you listed your stuff, btw? Post links, if so.

See, I was afraid of a retaliatory negative review, so wanted to know what you all thought. As long as the check clears, I'm okay, but if I ask a question, then I think that I deserve an answer. I haven't listed the other stuff yet. I want to see if Cartier or the crazy jeweler gets back to me. I'm going to go to the Cartier store near me if they don't get in touch to find out what they know about the ring and then I can list it. I'm still chuckling over "antique" though. Oh, and this is from the crazy jeweler's My World: I wonder if God likes how nasty he is "thats your problem" or that he can't spell or punctuate. Yep, he's a prize.

I would think that would have to violate part of the Ebay terms of service to be dealing out religious statements with purchase.
Buyers can be so frustrating but I don't think I'd neg him, as long as the check clears the bank. Heck, I've let a lot of things slide because I am so scared of a negative. Once I bought a textbook and when I got it was the Teacher's Edition. I sent it back and they refunded me my money less their fees to list it. I was quite pissed b/c they told me they'd refund the purchase price, nothing was said about taking the fees out. So I negged them and two months later they came back and gave me a neutral b/c I was "quick to give negative feedback". Grrrr

GG, thanks for the info about Cartier. Do you have the URL or email where you got identification for the ring? I have a little Cartier pewter candy dish (given to me by a homeless man!) that I'd like them to check.
