eBay

Ok so I realized I was posting on a no fb account for some reason..

Basically my story goes like this , I've started selling on eBay again.

I recently got a very new buyer Contacting me every 10 min asking me questions after purchasing an item such as what is the condition does it work etc.. He then paid 3 days later he has 0 fb..

He asked me 1 day after he will get the item I explained he will get it in the mail box .. He said what if I'm not home I said no the key mailbox that everyone shares the brown one with the slots.. It took me about a day of messaging back and forth how it works.. The next day he says he lives in the basement of a house and there renting .. I ask if he has access to the mailbox we talk about ... Nop he doesn't... So I tell him to ask the owner . For the key It's been 7 days now ( 5 business days) he said he checked the box and it has not arrived..

He lives 2 hours from me So I'm assuming it was there a day after I shipped maybe 2.

Does anyone know what happens if mail stays in the big slot of the mailbox for more than a few days is it returned to the owner? I ask this because there are so many people getting mail now and there are only 2 big slots for a whole street!

I really don't want to light 30$ on fire because this guy had no clue what he was doing.

Did you use a tracked service like Regular Parcel on this $30 item?

If so, when the item is delivered the postie will mark it delivered.

After that, the twit is on his own.

Give him the tracking number and the Canada Post website (canadapost.ca) so he can see for himself.

If not, he will have to talk to his upstairs neighbour, who I presume picks up and passes on all his mail, and let them know he is expecting a parcel.

Let him know what the package looks like (kraft envelope/ white paper/ PO box/ poly envelope).

Oh and add him to your Blocked Bidder List. Too much drama.

If the item is not picked up or is too large for the box, it would be returned to the terminal and eventually to you.

Ya it's a game I think it will end up in the bigger box not the standard one.. The one they put the key in the standard and you use it to get in the bigger. thanks..

The guy is nice and grateful of how much I am trying to help him and all but it's just frustrating : / Hopefully he gets it .
