Anyone here done business with Chris Long Management?

I've won an eBay auction from someone, paid about 3 hours after the auction via Paypal, and am now in email wars with him... docgodzilla / Chris Long Management.

Never heard of him, what's the beef - did you pay too fast?

Never heard of him, but what could he be "warring" over? You won the auction. You paid the bill. Now he has to ship the goods. Simple, right?


Edited to say: Jeff and I are working as a team this afternoon.

I won a raw T206. My callous email here hit a nerve with him.....


Hello there,

I've processed Paypal payment for this. $4 seems high for mailing it, if you manage to mail it for less than that please refund some postage. I'm super patient, so mail when convenient, no rush. Thanks. And, if whoever bought Lundgren or Leifield don't pay, please contact me, I'll buy them.

Thanks.


With kind regards,

Frank Wakefield.

In a sense, I can see why questioning postage AFTER the auction might bother him. If he stated what the charge was in the listing, then you can't really question it.

However, if he charges you $4.00, then tosses it in an envelope with a 44 cent stamp on it... then you can nail him with the "stars" part of the feedback.

[FrankWakefield]

Yes, Jim, the $4 was there up front. I processed payment with the $4 in there, and then sent that email... it has "please" in it.

I got a Hindu backed T206 once in an envelope. Stamp on envelope, in a top loader, no sleeve. It had one stamp on it, and I had to pay a bit postage due on it.

And I've gotten cards in a bubble envelope with 2 stamps on the outside, postage due, which I paid... I think about 78 cents postage was on it, it needed a dollar something, I'd paid $4 shipping for that.

Maybe it will all work out. Maybe he's busy scraping at the back of the card before he sends it... I just didn't think that email was that insensitive with it being sent after I'd paid the shipping. Thanks.

I think what Frank did was reasonable enough, paid to show he wasn't going to be difficult about it, but asked the guy for some consideration.

Speaking of postage, some day I am going to affix an address label and postage to an actual slab and mail it lol.

I didn't think your email was "that insensitive" either, but I have resigned myself to paying whatever the seller asks, factoring it into my bid, and, if they don't sent in a method appropriate with their fee, I do their stars to reflect it.

For $4.00 I would expect a sleeve and a toploader, wrapped in cardboard and tape, in some sort of bubble mailer. By the time a guy buys a bubble mailer, toploader, sleeve, etc., and drives to the Post Office, he's into it for a couple of bucks.

For anything over that charge, I'd expect Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation.

But, if you felt the $4.00 was too high, you could have asked before the auction was over.

But, from your email, it certainly doesn't sound like you were trying to start a war.
