THE WORST SELLERS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS, Audiogon, Audiomart, E-bay.....Others


I spend many hours trying to get people selling things to either Sell or Answer Questions about there items, I call them "Face Book Sellers"     They would rather do anything but sell, pack and shlp something  The web site that seems to be the worst is Audiomart , and they beat every body else by hundreds........I have three deals going on right now, I send my Pay-Pal address for billing and they do nothing, send them a e-mail and they do nothing.....The other day I bought a 800.00 item, I have no tracking number. I have called and have no answers, I have e-mailed, with no answers.....The only thing I have is a charge of 877.00 and a phone number...........Nothing else.......Common manners are totally gone on the internet.....Right now I have over 10,000.00 spent and I can't get a answer from anyone......Some of the stuff will maybe show up, but most is lost on the inter net somewhere and will take another 6-7 emails .......So what do you find is the worst web-site for your purchases   ???

The problem is people won't answer e-mail at all........People have no integrity , I have had offers of within 2% of the asking price and they can't even email and say "NO"  So you have all this money tied up in offers and nobody answers emails or phone calls or anything.....I had over 10,000.00 tied up for four days and not one single answer from anyone.....People have learned nothing of manners by the internet, and its people like me that buy most of the stuff listed in Audio internet sales, and if it wasn't for us nothing would get bought or sold........Most people buy two or three items a year, and people like myself buy two or three items a day.....There is a difference
Maybe I worded that wrong, I try and buy that many items, and actually E-bay is the best for that , because of the "Buy-It-Now".......Then all you can hope for is they send your purchase in a timely fashion ......What I can't seem to get is people will tell you anything and never even come close to doing it......And then you have the new people that just don't know what is expected .....But we are dealing in big money and big problems, and nothing seems to get better in selling and delivering items over 1000.00........
Well that is a good theory, but I'm not sure its correct.....I have probably had over10,000 transactions, I have receive one negative feed-back, I have never left a negative feedback for anyone.....And I should have , but I always feel there's a reason for the lines people take ......But I'm beginning to think that nobody cares what people think....they just "bumble along"..........Its kind of like Face-book.......Whats that all about ??   Nobody knows ??  
Well this is what has happened on the internet with me in several days....I have three amplifiers and one pre-amp I'm trying to buy on Audiomart....Keeping in mind that the Audiomart guys are the worst for answering e-mails to buy or ask questions about purchasing....The first guy sells the pre amp for 2200.00 , I have sent 10 e-mails to be told its pending but has not been paid for.....I offered to pay him right away.....No answers......Second guy on Audiomart, has a amplifier which he said he would sell me for 700.00....All he needed was the shipping....two days no price for shipping and one email with no information about shipping, so I told him to add 50.00 and send a invoice......He can't do it......Audiogon sells me what I thought was a pay-pal deal for 877.00 for a amp......When I click on what I thought was Pay-pal payment.....It takes 877.00 out of my credit card ....The deal is done.....well maybe its done but its not.......I have no information of the seller except his phone number (which he won't answer), I'm out 877.00 which Audiogon is holding because he is a new-be, he won't send it without the money, they won't release the money untel I receive it, which I will never do because he won't ship it without the money.......So I tell Audiogon to forget it and just give me my money back.....And they won't do that unless he gives them the OK to give my money back..........Do you see a problem ???
Well I've just offered to buy another item on Audiomart, we will see if we ever get a answer, or how long it takes..........I bought a 3500.00 item on e-bay yesterday and it took about 4 minutes to complete the deal, and in less than two hours I have the tracking number ..........not bad ??    My Audiogon deal started about a week ago, and I'm out 877.00 and I don't even have the name of the seller, And I might not ever have it..............We will see.......
Well today was a plus for Audiomart, one of there sellers sold me a item, got paid, and answered questions......And it was all in one day    THANKS
