I recently purchased a preamp here . I did not have enough money in my Paypal account when i entered into the purchase agreement . The same day i initiated the bank transfer to my Paypal account . It ended up taking the full 5 days Paypal states it could take . My buyer was understandable with the arrangement , but i wish it would have happened sooner . The pre just happened to come to market before i had a chance to get the funds transferred. I believe the seller was happy to get a deal done so close to his just listing it and for his asking price . A good deal for both of us i believe.
Paying time frame
What do you guys feel is a reasonable time frame to expect someone to pay for a purchase? I know audiogon says contact should be made within 72 hours and payment within 5 days but this seems extreme to me. I generally pay within 24 hours of making a deal. It just seems crazy to me to keep a seller waiting... For what, you already agree'd to buy now pay. What's your thoughts?
