<p>[QUOTE="Aleph, post: 3559960, member: 89969"]Another very irritating auction policy is very short time to settle invoices. I just tried timeline auctions for the first time, but did not realize they demand payment within 3 days. I am not irresponsible but a little longer period is not unreasonable. I got the invoice on Monday. Typically, I set up transfers during the weekend when I am actually home, but wouldn’t you know I got a ‘final notice’ email on Thursday bluntly stating that the invoice was overdue. Really?! Most auction houses give 1-2 weeks and won’t bug you for even longer. If you don’t pay, you get blacklisted (has not happened to me). You don’t need to be treated like some deadbeat with bills that are 90 days overdue to be motivated to pay your obligations. I was polite but I will carefully consider whether to bid in TimeLine’s auctions again! Who needs to be hassled during your leisure time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
