If the buyer wants the item not the refund that's different.

@marty - I agree. Just make an agreement on E-bay that it will take longer then 30 and possibly 60 days. Then if 44th day comes and she opens a dispute with E-bay more likely it will be with your favour since she agreed to wait longer. But if I understand right she thinks you have it and is not shipping it out to her?

Solidifier Negative feedback is a consequence and It does mean something to people who value their feedback Ravenzcoin You said the exact thing I did,,, just not as bluntly. ebay isn't rocket science..you sell, they buy, you meet timelines or the deal is done.. Unless they've built a relationship with you and they trust you. |

I personally never sell anything until I have it hand. As for flipping go for it, but be prepared for the complaints from buyers when things don't go smoothly. I agree with Coinchick but wouldn't call them stupid but maybe naive. As for the ebay issue just be kind and courteous, keep your buyer informed of the situation and ask them for a solution that would suit them. |

And for the buyers that buy pre sales,,,, they're stupid as well.  I bought this coin on pre Sale in January...but with mint delays..it might come in may...but I'm not worried...yes I bought it on ebay...but from a good seller...the coin is still offered on presale today at 3 times the price...I buy lots of world coins often with long delays...but I always have got my coin...and at the best possible price... |

@Koin Hunter - My buyer just did not want to wait 4 - 5 months when he could have bought it right now from someone who has it which I understand. But if I could not sell it again for that price or near that price I would be a little more reluctant. They were happy and left positive feedback.

Odd that we're talking about the "buyer wanting his coin now", yet lots of people, flippers included, are waiting for a couple of dealers who presold butterflies to send them their coins (i.e. complaining that they took their money but didn't ship and now threatening to boycott, trash talk on forums etc etc). When the shoe is on the other foot, it doesn't always fit so well. Seems to me that ebay discourages preselling by limiting the time for transaction to occur without consequence. If you choose to play outside of those rules/guidelines, that is your choice. But you won't find much sympathy when the buyer expects an item that he has paid for in the time frame that you set out in your ad. Edited by CC-Ottawa

@CC-Ottawa - When I talked to E-bay the lady said they discourage it. I told her then why not ban it or say that there is no buyer protection unless the item in not received. Once bought you must buy it. No buyer remorse or that guy has it so I will cancel this one and buy that one for cheaper.

Yes I understand...but if your costumer had been willing to wait...you would have honored your end of the sale...right

@Koin Hunter - Of course. I would not want a negative or that. He left positive which was good. Plus what would I do with 2 coneflower butterfly?

If you can't get the product to them within 45 days it isn't fair to expect them to wait past that time line. Especially months longer. That puts them at risk of trusting someone they have probably only bought from once and they could lose their money. It's harder for people to wait longer when the product is out now.
If you are able to get it to him within the 45 days then they should honor it and wait for your product.

@Coin Chick - I was going to tell the guy wait until 44 days or 45 days but I highly doubted the coin would arrive by then.

To be safe maybe people shouldn't do presales unless they are prepared for any unexpected delays.

Then let the guy know. Communicate with him what you are thinking. Tell him if it hasn't come in by then you'll request to cancel the item, and refund his money, then you won't get dinged the sellers fees.

@Coin Chick - But with presales it HAS to be shipped out within 30 days so the 45 days it just for the buyer really so it would have to arrive in 6 days from today.
