Re: Pardon my rant!
i just remember what i do as a ebay seller. I post the confirmation number on the ebay listing as a followup to the sale but maybe the post becomes publicly unavailable after a month or so. In that case, i am pretty sure you can call ebay to retrieve the information thru their hidden archive if you explain your situation.

Re: Pardon my rant!
Why would anyone not use eBay shipping? The tracking number gets uploaded to the Order Details page immediately and kept with the item forever on eBay and PayPal then. You get delivery confirmation for free with Priority Mail and for like .18-cents with other services, much cheaper than at the post office.
Also, you get a discounted shipping price instead of waiting in a line at the post office and paying full retail.
As for credit cards, I believe a charge-back can take place for quite some time with some credit cards. I would guess as long as six months possibly?

Re: Pardon my rant!
My ebay orders page lasts 60 days, then I have no idea how to access an item's page if there hasn't been feedback left. Also, when I use shipping through ebay, not directly through paypal, there are two separate transactions in my paypal account.
That being said, I completely agree with Joel: using ebay's and paypal's shipping is the best thing ever for selling. I even use paypal for shipping outside of ebay.

Re: Pardon my rant!
I just opened a non-paying bidder case for someone who bought one of my items with a best offer. The buyer is also a member of GUU (though he has not posted on this thread, but he has posted in the past few days.) Be anxious to see if he pays after/if he reads this thread, but if not, I'll let anyone know who it is if he does not pay. Just PM and I will send you his ebay id as well as his GUU id.

Re: Pardon my rant!
I had just the opposite happen to me as a buyer. Bought the item, made the payment, and the seller never "claimed" the payment on Paypal (I always thought the payment was automatic).
After going back and forth and sending copies of the payment information, the seller claims to have sent the item. The item never arrives, no answer from the seller, and I go to open a dispute....
Ebay will not let me open a dispute or leave any feedback because it does not show the item being paid for. Very frustrating.

Re: Pardon my rant!
Its not just eBay.
I was holding a helmet for a guy for 2 Months. I could have sold the helmet at lest twice but a deal is a deal right? Well for some, that's just not so. He kept missing deadline after deadline. Finally, we spoke on the phone and he told me he was ready to send the payment. His final comment was, can you send me a scan of the sweatband? I said sure and sent it along. A short time after I got a email back and the guy passed on the helmet because, "IT HAD TOO MUCH WEAR". Never heard that excuse on a game worn helmet before.
I then offered the helmet to one of the guys that made me a prior offer and as luck would have it - he took it in a heartbeat. Gee, I hope it doesn't have too much wear.

Re: Pardon my rant!
Since Ebay is more of a marketplace now, I think ebay should make you pay immediately for an item. It should be automatically charged to a card/account on file, if you "commit" to buy. If you can't pay for an item, don't bid.
