I think they must be all allowed out on day release or something, we all seem to be having numpty noo buyers


My buyer that left me 2/5 (that rare-stuff kindly helped me respond to)
sent me an email today, and attempted to tell me off :rotfl: , stating that if I didnt want negative feedback I shouldnt send out dirty sticky books, and that im rude and arrogant and as she didnt ask for a refund she doesnt understand why i took the time to point out she couldnt have one :rolleyes: (I told her this after her binning the book)


Ive at least had 2 sales in 2 days so at least I know I do exist :T

What happens after a payment/purchase has been pending? If the payment goes thru, does it just happen as normal and you get an email, and what happens if the payment never materialises, do you get emailed telling you it has closed?

This is a first for me...

if the sale goes through you get a standard, SDN email, if after 72 hours it doesnt it goes back on sale automatically and you are not informed,

I've just had the oddest book today - I'd been buying a few, swapping a few, wheeling and dealing etc and the postman has been delivering every day but today he brought an envelope with a scruffy book in, not one that I'd buy at all because I'd already read it.

There was no note but there was a return address, it was quite a distinctive foreign name and I thought that I recognised it, the computer was in for a 'health check' at PC World so I couldn't check up till now.

It was a swapsie book that I sent to him in December and he sent it back to me :eek: I don't know why and I only hope that he isn't expecting his swap back, I sold it before Christmas!

mishkanorman

oops !

is that from read it swap it ?

is that quite easy to use?

Well yes, it's dead easy to use- until you meet up with my swap partner who obviously thinks it's some sort of long distance library?????

mishkanorman

well it just proves my earlier theory, the sun has come out and so has all the funny ones !!

They're probably the same ones that point at planes!

Have sold 5 books now, but have had no feedback

Has anyone else found this? Was thinking about emailing buyers and (politely!) asking if they'd mind leaving feedback but read a thread about this and decided not to.

I've described all the books honestly and accurately, so I shouldn't think the buyers would have been unhappy - what to do?

apprentice_tycoon

You may have to wait a while longer yet, the buyer will be prompted to leave feedback a few weeks after purchase but that may only work with a few buyers, most just walk away. No news is good news so if you haven't heard anything then the buyer is probably happy
