@qu@m@an - where are you - I need $

@qu@m@n, I sent you the supplements you wanted and it shows you received them several days ago. I still haven't received any money through paypal yet. Granted, I probably shouldn't have sent the supplements until paypal showed a payment but I trusted you to pay. Please send me payment of $13.00 like we agreed. It actually cost me $11.67 to ship so I'm making less than $2 because I'm sticking to our $13.00 agreement. Please send payment! Thank you.

I got in contact with this guy and he basically told me he wasn't sure if he wanted the supplements after all. The problem with this is he told me the price was good, asked how I wanted paid and gave me his address for shipping. I guess he changed his mind after I shipped it. He just doesn't think he can use the supplements after all. It's only $13.00. He said he would pay me eventually and to be patient because he's going to try and sell the supplements to his fellow reef friends.

I know I should have waited for him to paypal me before I shipped it but I was too trusting and shipped anyway because he said he wanted it and gave me his address.

I just don't see why I should have to wait to be paid (if I even get paid at all) simply because he changed his mind after he received it.

Just letting everyone know to get paid first on paypal before shipping!

I think everyone I know always gets the payment first. No offense, that was kinda stupid. I guess you learned your lesson. The ball is in his court now, not yours so you have to wait on him.

Yep, it was stupid. I had sold several items and this one got sent off the same time as all the others. It was packaged up and ready to go, just waiting on $ but I must have picked it up and sent it on it's way along with the others that were paid. I'll pay closer attention next time. It's only $13.00 on his part. He asked it to be sent and gave me the address and now feels he doesn't owe because he changed his mind. What nerve!

Thanks, I haven't heard anything from him other than, "I changed my mind". So, everyone be careful and get your money first!

i always have ebay items sitting here sold waiting on payment. i ask for details on payment if not using paypal and i give them 7 days to pay or it gets relisted. sad that he can't afford to pay $13. for something he asked for and has received. i'd tell him to return the items and call it even. i always say, if ya can't pay - don't bid! you can reort him to e-bay as non-payment, that will slow his ebay shopping waydown!

I guess I don't understand why he would rather have negative feedback instead of paying the small amount. Yes, at least it was only $13.00 and my time that I'm out.

Still no money and no reply from him other than the original "I changed my mind"...after I sent the stuff.
