Now, I'm not saying I want a negative, but I came across a buyer who rubbed me the wrong way. I'd like to know what the FCB community would do.
Typically, if I do not receive payment after 4-5 days on eBay, I will send out a 2nd invoice as a reminder. This usually helps out the buyer because sometimes they just simply overlook the first one. Anyway, I send my 2nd invoice out to a buyer. I remembered the next day that the UPI is now 4 days, not 7. I figured I would go ahead and send it since it was 6 days after the purchase. Nothing mean about it, just a reminder to pay for an item.
Well, I get an email from the buyer basically saying I had some nerve to file the UPI because sometimes funds are tight, etc. He then tells me that I should practically be ashamed of myself for having poor communication and service because I have in my description that payment is due in 7 days. I simply forgot to make the change when the new policy changed over. The seller then says that it doesn't matter anyway because he is paying that night, which is the 7th day. He even went as far as saying I never emailed him about it before I filed the UPI.
I sent back a polite response stating that I had and I always send a 2nd just to be safe. I also acknowledge that I needed to make the change in my description and I apologized.
Well, the guy waits until the 8th day to pay. I feel like the guy is being a little hypocritical. He blasts me for wanting to be paid and then he wants to break the 7 day rule anyway to pay.
So what would you do? I'm sure he will leave me a WONDERFUL comment and rating. Part of me wants to say that my auction says 7 days and he still chose not to pay on time. I'm not saying what I plan on doing.
I want to hear what YOU would do if you were in my shoes...
