For Sale Etiquette
A request for an item was recently posted on the Things Wanted forum. I contacted the member by PM and we setup a transaction via email. Once the buyer had the location to send the funds (a check), I told him I'd wait for the check to clear and them post the item to him. The buyer didn't take kindly to that and responded with a rather vitriolic email telling me he was no longer interested.
This wasn't a high dollar item, but in this economy I don't think there is much argument that to many every dollar is precious. So my questions are this, in the same situation would you have done the same, and did I do something wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
