nid2007 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 How long after sending a seller the request for an invoice including shipping do you give up on getting a reply and consider it a fake sale? It's been 72 hours since I sucessfully bid on a Mowie Wowie. No reply to a few emails now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Doesn't look good to me. No invoice, stock google photo (probably from guitarsale.com). I think you should just lay low and be thankful you haven't transferred any money. If you do want to pursue it, you can request an ebayer's contact info. It only works if you have a valid transaction going with that person (currently or in the very recent past). By submitting a request to ebay, they will send you the other party's name, address, and phone number. The down side is that the other person also gets YOUR info. If you do get an invoice from them, be up front without being pushy, and just say, look, I'm a little skittish because of the lack of contact. How about you send me some more photos just so I'll feel better about the deal? And ask for something goofy, like a plastic fork in the strings or something. If they're legit, they won't be offended. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nid2007 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks Scott. Great idea on the photo--doubt it will come to that. It was just an impulse purchase anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
