I won and paid for a pair of boots 3 days ago. I received the standard notice that "payment had been received". Since then, nothing. I e-mailed the seller to ask if the boots had shipped and received no response. This is also a seller with thousands of positive transactions. I'm just getting a little worried that I haven't heard anything directly from the seller.

Don't worry yet BeeBee - everything so far is normal eBay transaction.

Big sellers like that almost never tell you when something ships, or really communicate with you at all.

There's a lot of seller meltdown over at Ebay lately. Feedback 2.0 (aka those stupid stars) is becoming a major, major hassle, plus there've been a rash of seller suspensions for reasons that are hard to suss out. On top of that, there's a new search engine being rolled out that is HORRIBLE. Stock prices are tanking. I closed my store because the fees got out of hand, and the site's simply not pulling in the buyers any more.
As far as feedback is concerned, I know that many sellers aren't posting it right away because they're waiting for the other shoe to drop- meaning, the buyer ends up popping up a week later with a bogus complaint, or the payment gets reversed by Paypal for mysterious reasons. So, people are waiting to make certain that nothing comes up and bites them in the ass. It's pretty much a stalemate.

I agree with everything Nefertiti Baker just said. I hate those damned feedback stars. I finally (finally!) got some stars to show, only it's for the shipping time and communication. I'm annoyed because 1) there are 1 or more buyers who are so damned lazy that they can't fill out all 4 of the criteria, and 2) the criteria for shipping time is only 4.5 stars. I'm pretty sure that the lower scores came from the idiot international bidders I got flocked with since last year, because I always ship the day of or the day after, supposing I receive payment at late night or early morning.
Plus, what with those outrageous insertion fees and final value fees, as well as the idiotic Paypal fees, it's really not worth my time to be selling anything, really. Especially, since my stuff either doesn't sell, or sells for very low. I have the feeling I'm losing money rather than gaining it.

I'm irritated right now too with two power sellers. I brought $55.00 worth of bag packs for my kids.. One a Baby Phat brand new one for my daughter. Who just had to have it ! The others were from another power seller ,who was selling these bag packs that had "Panama Boy" and "Panama Girl" on them. I brought one for my son and daughter. School has started and no bag packs...Where are the bag packs ! My son had another new bag pack that my teenage brother gave him. But my daugther has informed it's a total fashion NO NO . To wear the same bag pack that you wore in 7th grade to 8th grade. Oh the horrors. I was irritated because I won and paid for them 10 days before school started. That's more than enough time they should have been here by now.
Second ebay story-Another power seller brought 6 bras brand new from this lingerie boutique . For 16.98 for myself and my daughter was 6 for 11.98. My bra strap broke while I was in my office. My daughter told me her latches continue to come aloose while at school . They were so cute but they aren't worth 5 cents. I can't do anything about it. I should have known too good to be true for the price..Plus shipping was expensive.

No kidding; I sold three things a couple of months ago and think I just about broke even by the time I was finished. Unless I have something I can make real money on, I don't think I'll bother with selling on eBay again. Also, I was so concerned about over-charging for shipping that I ended up undercharging.

Has anyone else ever gone to look at an item and been treated to pages and pages of diatribe? I was looking at a Barbie yesterday (shut up), and the seller went on, chapter and verse, about how much she looooves her Barbies, but she has to sell them because her evil ex took off with "his own Barbie" (read: younger, bustier, blonder babe), and now she needs a tummy tuck. Then there was something about how much she loooooves her Barbies and only wants them to go to good homes, ad nauseum. The same thing happened to my boyfriend--he was looking up knives for his chef job. Same thing; pages and pages about how the seller's parents died, and their liquidating the estate because of debts, blah blah blah. Neither of us put in bids on those items, needless to say. I'm kind of an Ebay virgin, so really, WTF? just list the item. I don't need to know THAT MUCH about you, sellers.
