EXACTLY. Nothing wrong with those two buyers with money in hand other than they came in on google with no feedback!
Ebid is growing, we are going to see this more and more. Are we going to keep turning buyers away out of fear?
Every seller has to learn to deal with a bigger buyer now. Figure out precautions, or tell them no and let other sellers take the sale.

No Tony, I did not say that. I said be careful and take precautions OF YOUR CHOICE with unknown buyers who buy expensive things.
I did not say subject your regular buyers or people spending $20 to ALL of the methods of taking precautions that members have suggested. It was just a suggestion list.

My posts only state my own opinions, unless I've stolen them from someone else
Tony, I never delete anything. Again, we see mock outrage at the answers some of us are giving, that has led to censorship by members. Something is always wrong with what some of us say.
As you know, I am 100% behind ebid growing quickly. To do this we have to step outside our comfort zone. Maybe that means considering taking these big new buyers on. Many of us have done so already and they are great. That is why we answered this post the way we did. Funny that a message about ebid growing gets censored.

just a big thank you for all the advice given on this thread. the sale is now completed and ebid has a new member who is pleased with the service and goods. it was,nt that they were new, a lot of my customers are, it was, as i said, that i had 2 identical enquieries for the same larger amounts in a very short space of time. thanks once again for all the advice and helping to make this site the friendliest and most helpful auction site on the internet.
Great to know there was a happy ending!!
I'm glad the sale went well

Am I correct in reading this properly. Are you advising sellers to lie to buyers. How long do they wait before sending? What if the buyer is honest?
Do you want honest buyers to start getting worried and think they have been conned when the item you said was posted takes a long time to arrive.

afternoon folks , tony I do remeber seeing this post from delta...a couple of weeks back....and I just kept out of the way...I think I read it the same way you did...but it is gone now , ... I thought only the OP or eBid could remove a post ??
but not that it really matters now as the right result has been reached....papa.
PERFECT. Good for you!! So happy to see that you went ahead with the sale without thinking about all the things that could have gone wrong.
When you become a supplier to other sellers, that is an ideal situation for you and them. Everyone wins. Many of my regulars resell in stores, at fairs, etc. Its a perfect situation for all of us and for ebid!
