A seller who has no problem communicating!

I won an item on ebay this morning and have had 11 emails from the seller so far! Is this a record?! He seems to feel the need to tell me about every step of the process. I am eagerly awaiting the email in which he tells me that he is currently putting sellotape on the parcel. Bless!

    It's nice to be kept informed, but that is a little excessive! At least you can't mark him down for poor communication! Although, you could mark him down for excessive. Maybe he's a first timer and a little nervous?

    I once had 7 requests for payment for an auction within the hour after (I was going to pay that evening after a few other auctions were finishing). The requests just kept coming and kept getting more aggressive and demanding. It annoyed me so much I waited 6 days before paying (It was when it was 7 days before a NPB could be opened)

    Petty of me I know :D

    Sometimes petty makes you feel soooo good. I've done the same.
