What are you reading, Rita? The seller didn't provide any answers,

Why not since it would have been quicker and less dramatic?

and what is dramatic about requesting said information from ebay, where
the user has already agreed that his/her informaiton could be requested
from those that are bidding/winning on their auctions? It shouldn't be
dramatic, nor surprising to them.

This was your biggest mistake since you bid on an auction that didn't accept
PayPal! I get the feeling you instigated this mess for attention?

And what is wrong for bidding on an auction that doesn't accept paypal?
Rita, stop believing your own rhetoric and bull***, causte not
everything in this world revolves around paypal. I like the service,
but its not the greatest thing since sliced bread either.

If the item is hte only thing that is available on ebay at the time he
bid for the right price, why should a "no paypal" accepted or offered
auction stop him from bidding on it.



And how is *YOU* acting like a child and screwing with this seller part of
the deal? You instigated this mess and threaten the dumb *** with a
neg. I would have cheerfully taken the neg.

The seller is making the whole expereicen a negative one, Rita, or are
you failing to see that:? Yes, you are. The seller reacted in the worst
way, since he should not have been surprised if the person WINNING one
of his auctions (or has won) requested his information. I like to pay
asap, and if I dotn get the information Ineed quickly, then I request
for that information from the place that the person registered it
with, Ebay.


A polite e-mail would have gotten you quicker resolution, but what fun is it
in that? But, then again, for a sale this trivial you could have simply
used 1-800-555-1212 and everyone, including the bank, would have been
delighted.

But what if he didn't hear fro the seller for a full three days? seven
days/ Why should Dhakala be inconvenienced and WAIT when he could have
that info with a click of a button and 30 seconds later? Again, the
SELLER overreated, since he agreed to Ebay's Terms that his registered
information can be gotten by other members who win his auctions.



No I wouldn't. I've been there and done that. A seller is not forced to
sell to people that they deem as a potential "risk."

Then he deserves a neg for failing to uphold a contract.


You made the transaction at 4:30 AM and went off the deep end at 8:00AM
according to the timeline you posted. Wouldn't it have been easier to
e-mail the seller and wait 3.5 hours before locking horns?

Seller is still wrong for going off the deepend on the informaiton
request, when its in ebay's policies that other users (especially those
who win your auctions) can obtain your information freely, to make sure
they are secure in their transactions.
