Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 7:23 am Post subject: Not receiving a payment after a sale |
|
|
Twice now I've had 2 sales through ecrater where I get the sale notification (Order #1111) but then I do not receive payment following.
How long do I wait until I delete the order and consider it not valid? Do I contact the buyer and ask if they are still interested? Or just delete it?
Does this happen to anyone else often? Most sales from ecrater that I have follow an immediate PayPal payment so I wondered if this is just a rare occurance?
Thanks! |

I noticed this week that PayPal has stop sending notices on web payment like ecrater stores.
So if they say they are paying via PP - see at the bottom of the order. Check PP for the payment. If not paid I ALWAYS immedately send a PayPal invoice.

I always contact them immediately by phone or by email. If they don't respond I cancel the order. I usually wait 72 hours.

Yeah, it'll happen for various reasons -- they didn't mean to select PP, their browser froze up, they realized they don't have the funds...
Sometimes they'll still pay for their order and sometimes they won't.. |

I've had another order with no payment. I even e-mailed the person and they said they didn't use paypal and I directed them to my web site where they could and still no payment. I have had orders here but never a payment. Is that the norm? |

Not for me it isn't. If they don't do PayPal, I usually get a money order.
Have you called them to let them know the order they placed with you is about to expire?
Did you email them an invoice or order confirmation inclding a mailing address to send payment too?
Dont' get me wrong, I get a few orders that don't have a real name, or address or phone, that I know are just someone goofing off. But most of my orders with real info do get paid. |

Yes, I e-mailed them several times with ways to contact me. Never get replies back. The one that did reply back regarding paypal, I told her she could call me or go to my web site because I can do visa, mastercard or e-check there. They never replied or paid. |

I think there's another thread about this too and someone suggested there that it's might be a buyer trying to see what the shipping would be before they actually buy the item(s), which sounds likely.
You could always follow up if you wanted but I'd bet the e-mail addresses are no good... |
