Budman Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 i wanted to bid on this ebay sellers items for sale on klipsch k-22-ef woofers and maybe his k-77 tweeters. he won't answer any emails i've sent him about his location as to pick up instead of shipping and now he has banned me from bidding on his items. what a piece of dirt this person is. when you have a product for sale you must answer you email questions about your sale items. are these people for real. what do you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU73 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I don’t know – I like to give people the benefit of doubt if I don’t know the circumstances, the seller could be going through an unexpected emergency and the ebay item could be the last thing on the sellers mind at the moment. Does the seller have good ebay history.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Has great feedback, good history, maybe he thought it odd you want to pick up when he offers free shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblio Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 He may be paranoid (cautious ?) about allowing local pickup. Worries can range from theft (especially if you trade in high $$ elecronics), to possible violation of local business ordinances or simply someone who is introverted and not an IRL people person. This in no way excuses not answering emails, and certainly not blocking you from bidding, a simple reply stating that they only ship or 'no local pickup' is not to much to ask. I wonder if he would answer your emails if you had received a defective product from him ?? a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I wonder if the seller might be concerned about revealing their location for fear of foul play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'd consider sending him a link to this thread, which could change you from an unknown to a known quantity as well as let him know what others think. I did that once, it turned around a doubtful buyer (who lost the chance anyway of the delay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I can see why he probably wouldn't want local pickup with those auctions. He already has all his stuff setup for free shipping. Trying to figure out how much if any discount he could give you would be a problem. The shipping is already worked in the final price and he will have to pay a final value percentage to Ebay based on free shipping. Local pickup would screw that up too money wise. Last but not least, some buyers that say they are gonna do local pickup never pay and never pickup. Its usually best for everybody to ship unless its real heavy or real big.

Budman Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 he's not offering free shipping on the woofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I believe in common courtesy. If somebody takes the time to ask me a question on Ebay then I take the time to give an answer. Even if its not the answer they want to hear. Its possible he didn't get your question but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I would think that the seller would at least show the courtesy of replying to your question....If the answer is no ... OK no harm no foul.... but at least give a quick response???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
