Treat your customers like you would want to be treated. Keeping buyers happy goes a long ways. I am not a member of ebay but if I were selling something, I would likely have the item ready for shipment when I placed the add. When the check was received and cleared, I would address the box and ship it. No big deal???? Just an opinion so don't start flame throwing.

you SHOULD be an Ebay seller, you've got theory of customer service down pretty well !!
I have had to wait and I've been ripped off, and eventually refunded. I've driven all day to find a guy try and hide a rusted out trunk floor under a car cover !! (he is lucky to have walked away!!) It is a crap shoot especially if a seller is a crook and can now sign up with a different name.
I wont throw big money at ebay any more.
