I purchased a couple of items out right from an individual in China...on FEB 1st...even after telling him I was done and requesting invoice about 6 times now in various methods. (direct email, through the item page, AND through WHO the person is on this site) I have YET to have him even acknowledge my emails or purchases. This leaves me not feeling very trustworthy to even send this person money. As a buyer I feel I should at least be responded to before I send some stranger money. So what do I do? He has 100% feedback, I could pay immediately through Paypal but now I don't trust anything about this person. And I'm kinda annoyed that I wasted my time picking out anything from this persons shop when there's a lot of good people out there that DO appreciate business.


Please advise,
Christine

hi chris,
china is a ying/yang area. i have had good and bad experiences with buyers and sellers there. the first few buyers did not pay, then i finally got one good honest one who did and repeated his business with me. and i had very good luck with the taiwan chinese. i have had bad luck with the middle east and good luck, so you just never know. i have given up trying to judge the world by countries. it is only the individual you can make an opinion on. if you don't receive any communication from this individual, that isn't your fault. just report it to pascal, and let him handle it. you have done your best to resolve the situation. don't send any payment until this person has earned your trust. and don't worry about the negative feedback. you have the dispute resolution process you can utilize. perhaps his computer is down or there is a problem with the internet there, who knows in china. this is the storm season there too. take care and don't get so frustrated.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your input...I've been auctioning online for 7 years as a buyer and a seller and this whole thing seems a bit red flagged to me. According to Delcampe this person logs in almost daily and I know as a seller myself, I would certainly have addressed this long long ago. That's just part of good business and I appreciate all my buyers hence I have many repeat ones. Just got in from the hospital seems I was likely re-exposed to the Chicken Pox virus and now have shingles. (I work in an Elementary school) Very painful so this has now become the least of my worries.

Hope you are both well. The declared Pennsylvania a state of disaster yesterday but fortunately no snow yet today...but another is on it's way.

Hello Chris,

I agree with your ideas of trading - but I as well had to learn, that different people have different ideas. I simply resumed, that as long as I don't loose anything (a little work excluded), I will just forget about... What you found in there you will find again if you just have a little patience. By the way, did you find the "rocks" already?
And - keep your hands on the keyboard (I know, how it's like...)
Best regards
