[QUOTE="jester3681, post: 1810373, member: 53130"]I sold a coin some time back, did my usual drill: Invoice the next morning. Invoice after 4 days with a little note. Invoice after 9 days with a note saying "Please contact me or I'll be forced to assume you don't want the coin and want to cancel the transaction." Open Unpaid case after 11 days. I could close the case today at 09:18 PST. The buyer paid at about 06:45 PST. Well, I have the coin packaged and ready to ship off to him, which of course I will... but I feel a problem customer here. It seems like every buyer I have that refuses to pay until a case is opened ends up getting their money back because of some phantom problem. I've preached if before (maybe not in this forum), but I think it's absolutely ridiculous that a buyer can tarnish a seller's reputation with the threat or action of negative feedback and the seller has no recourse at all. I can't comprehend why a seller can't leave negative feedback for a deadbeat buyer. Who knows, though - maybe this guy will be happy with the coin as shipped and leave positive feedback without an issue. But I don't have warm fuzzies. :oops:[/QUOTE]
