Just wondering, how long does a seller have to communicate with the winning bidder/buyer of a listing? Or, is a seller even required to communicate?
I've won half a dozen auctions over the last couple of weeks and noticed that most of the sellers never communicate with me. In most cases I get the tracking info in a few days so I know they have received payment and at least plan on mailing my item, but I have no idea when and just keep checking the tracking number to see when the item will arrive. In one case I didn't hear from the seller for five days.
On the other hand, I bought a very inexpensive item from an international seller who was incredibly gracious and kind in his communications with me. I want to buy more items from him just because he was so nice. He nicely packaged the item and even included a postcard of his town in the package. Those personal touches really make a difference to me.
