Location: Visalia, CA | I have been following a guitar listed on ebay and am very interested in bidding on it. I have tried twice to contact the seller with a couple of questions, but I have thus far received no response. This is a new experience for me (no response from a seller).
Is something as dodgy as it seems to me (since I am a skeptical sort), or is bidding usually a green light in such cases?
Thanks! |

Some people don't own a computer and use one at work or the public library.
But I would look at the Seller's feedback and completed listings to discover if he/she is a jerk.
If the Seller has very low feedback they might be a noobie...
If not they just might not want to answer questions...
If you don't answer questions you get an automatic 5 on you "communication" stars.
(that make sense, huh?)
No, you don't have to bid to communicate...
Nowadays, most bidding happens in the last minute.
Hope that helps....

Location: Visalia, CA | I KNOW ---- and I totally blew it! I am not very well versed on this ebay thing (bought 4 things - no guitars - and sold 0). I missed the BIN button at the end, and ....... ah crap. No whining.
The search continues, and lesson learned. Thank you very much for your incredibly helpful input. |
