Some people have jobs that entail flying back and forth across this crazy continent for work. I've already explained why I never answered your messages, but if you want to whine about it like a little girl go for it.

I'm a big boy, I can take this. I have sent you two PM's since returning from my latest trip and you choose to ignore them.

At least be a man about it. Don't go whining and crying about it until you try to solve it yourself.

Do you need other members to hold your hand and tell you what to do next?

All this over a low grade common card. Gimme a break!

If someone is online and able to communicate an "I'll take it," I don't understand why they can't just send payment right away, if they have the seller's email address. If they have to first get the seller's PP email, I don't care how much traveling someone is doing, if they are checking their email , they can spend another minute and send payment promptly.

What I am sick of is the attitude that says: "I'm going to tie up your merchandise now, and then make paying for it my last priority because I'm busy and important, and you can wait days until I decide to get around to honoring my word."

It's a matter of common courtesy that isn't common for some people, obviously.

It's also common courtesy to work things out like a man. Not cry about it after a) selling the card (no harm done) and b) doesn't answer messages himself. What a whiner!

I don't know him, or you, and I have no dog in this fight. But I do think it's useful on this forum to discuss problem buyers, which, in this case, you seem to have been.

The OP wasn't crying, he was informing people of your rudeness. Your response is to double-down on being rude, by questioning his manhood and calling him a whiner. It makes you look childish in my opinion to criticize the OP for posting about it.

Yes, I get it that you're busy and all (by the way, we all are,) but if you have a minute to say "I'll take it" then take another minute to complete the deal.

There was no rudeness. It was a simple mistake of not checking my personal email during a hectic week away on the road during one of our league's craziest times of the year.

And this whole thread is childish! I sent him an apologetic PM once I returned and realized what I had done and he not only completely ignored it but started messaging other members about me which basically killed the second deal that he's talking about in his statement.

Also, I didn't have to come out and say "hey, it's me he's talking about". I did because I'm being a man about it. Unlike this whiner!

By the way, anyone other than LukeLyon know this kid? He must be of the younger generation that never learned to solve problems on their own.

I was going to post a reply about how he solved it by re-selling the card but I was too busy dealing with work, etc....you know what I mean....

I'm not sure what "being a man" involves in your book, but in mine it doesn't involve insults and does involve paying your debts promptly. Thanks for showing up to prove the OP to be in the right. If you aren't going to have time to pay (which is a ridiculous argument), don't buy the card.

Whether it's here or on eBay, if I know I am about to travel and and may be delayed a few days in paying or shipping an item, I simply say as much at the time the deal is done. Problem solved. Communication. I totally understand someone getting pissed off not hearing from the other side for days. If there is something on the horizon that might occasion a delay just say that.

In my opinion this and every one of your other posts on this subject is 100% the wrong way to handle this situation.

If you want to see the proper way go to the memorabilia side and see how Mr Quinn handled a similar situation.
