I have the sickest feeling in my stomach.
I wanted to buy a bbag from a reputable seller (2000+ feedback, all 100%) through ebay (buy it now) and contacted the seller for further information about the item. Each time, she replied pretty much immediately. I told her I needed time to think about the purchase as it was quite an amount of $$$. She told me that if I didn't buy through ebay, that is, she sent me an invoice through paypal, she would offer me a discount as she would save in ebay fees. I accepted her offer and paid her on Tuesday.
When I paid on Tuesday, she said that she would post my item the next day (ie wednesday) and let me know the tracking number. I did not hear from her on Wednesday at all and sent her an email just to ask her to let me know the tracking number once she has sent the package. She replied back on wednesday night saying that her internet was disconnected during the day, that she was sorry and would send my item tomorrow (ie. thursday) and let me know the tracking number.
Today is friday and I still haven't heard from her. The seller is in america and I am in Australia so I know there's time differences etc but I'm just getting paranoid given that I have not purchased through ebay and I don't think it will be as easy getting my money back through paypal if there are any issues.
Am I overreacting? This is THE most expensive fashion purchase I have made and I am feeling very nervous about it. I wouldn't be feeling as nervous if I had bought through ebay but given that I have not, I feel quite sick about it all.
My other problem is that the delivery address I gave her is my current work address. I am finishing up at my current job in two weeks so if she doesn't manage to post the bag soon, I won't be at this job when the bag arrives. I have emailed her to tell her this but there has been no reply.
I am going crazy with worry!
Has anyone been in this position before? Am I overreacting given that its only been a few days since purchase?
