Topic: I dont understand this ... (re Trademe) Posted: 17 June 2007 at 11:22am |
I've sold some things over the last few weeks, one of which was a skirt. It's a great skirt in almost new condition by a well known, good quality designer.
The weird thing is that someone bought it, paid for it immediately, but has entered into no communication with me and despite 2 emails from me and a reminder in feedback I placed for her, she hasn't provided me with an address to send the skirt to!
It wasn't like it was $5 or something - she paid me $29.50 (incl P&P). I don't really want to refund the money as I wanted to sell it, she bought it, and others who wanted it missed out because she bought it. But, I now have a skirt that someone else owns, and I don't know what to do!
I've emailed Trademe to ask for their advice, but since the person isn't address verified, I'm guessing there's not much they'll be able to do. Argh!  Bizzare.

Whew for a moment there I thought you meant me!!!!  But no.
How long since the auction?? If it's been a few weeks I might be inclined to refund if there is a way you can. How wierd!!!
(is it another nice skirt???)

I wonder if their internet connection has failed, or they only go online at work or something? I'd send a reminder email saying that you'll have no choice but to relist if you have no address from her within 7 days.

You'd think so perhaps busymum, but the auction closed last Monday, so that doesn't really make sense. I'll see what the TM people say, and then will perhaps send another email. Surely she'd want her skirt though? I'm more terrified that something is going to happen to the skirt now when it's sold!

Have her emails been going to your junk box or something? Or getting bounced?
If she's already paid for it then I'd wait a bit longer... it's not like you haven't heard from her at all.
Email again I say.

Perhaps something like that is happening Nikki ... I might try emailing her from work tomorrow, and see if that makes a difference.

Yep she will get in touch Ginger. I sold something and it took the lady about a month to come and get it. Someone had passed away in her family... you know how it goes.
