View Full Version : A little concerned
I won two auctions on ebay last week for some sega cd games. I sent out money orders for the games on Saturday of last week. A few hours ago, I wrote to both the sellers of these Items, and they said that they havent received payment yet. I havent recieved any notification from the post office that my stuff was sent wrong or anything. This concerns me.

Call the M/O company and ask if the money orders have been cashed yet.

Last week.. as in LAST week? Geez.. give it a LITTLE time. We are talking about the US postal service here aren't we?
I've bought hundreds of items from eBay sellers; and although I've been flat-out "burned" by a few.. NOBODY has ever told me they didn't get their payment.
Sometimes I've waited MANY weeks for an item. This is the real world. I usually don't file complaints and start kicking and screaming until a few weeks have passed. What kind of feedback % do the sellers have? If it's above 95 or so.. I'd bet they send your items promptly as soon as they recieve your money.. you can't expect much more than that.
Next time.. if you're that worried.. maybe you should send your payment by Priority and with Delivery Confirmation. Lord knows I've went that route a few times as well.

Well, this all depends on if LAST week means Saturday the 14th or Saturday the 7th.
If it was the 14th, keep in mind that it may not have even processed until Monday.
If it was the 7th, then worry, cause someones lying.
But if it again was the 14th, then give it some more time.

even if it is the 7th, there may be a chance that it hasnt gotten to the sellers yet. i sent out a money order before and it didnt arrive until somethingl like 3 weeks later... all depends on how well the mail system is functioning on a given day ;)

Anyway I doubt both sellers are ripping you off. It hasn't been all that long at all, your money orders are most likely still in the mail.
Thanks alot. I feel a lot better now. I work too damn hard to let money go to waste like that. Thats why i was worried. Thanks alot.
