I'm new to purchasing on ebay and I have a few questions. How long does it usually take for a seller to contact you after you've bought something? Do they contact you to tell you your item has been dispatched?
I've bought two items in the last two days (components for my bike) and havn't heard anything from the sellers. I paid immediately (was this the thing to do?) and sent them messages asking for details regarding shipping and have heard nothing back. What's your experiences with this?

I usually pay at once and get answers/dispatch messages about 0-24 hours after... Some people are slouches, though. It can take ages if they're cunts, like during other methods of transaction.

Did you pay shipping too or are you asking them if they shipped everything already?
Some seller don't reply to emails ever, specially chinaman ebayers, but they ship it, most of times.

give it another day or 2.
always comunicate via the ebay console....dont reply via an email (your main email) go to the 'my ebay' page and selct messages and reply from there. then if you have any problems the ebay admin can see what you have said
you can set up a dispute if you think your being treated unfairly
post here if you need any help.

I got ripped off on a sweet AFX clock for which I paid $20. The $20 wasn't a big deal, but I was more upset about not having an AFX clock.

Just received a reply from one seller..... he's shipping it today (7-14 days delivery to Oz from Italy).
All my communicatio has been through ebay.
Should you only leave feedback after you receive the goods? That seems to be the way it should be to me.

Yeah because if you leave positive feedback and then later you open up the package and there is a hunk of dookie in it, you're up shit's creek.
The feedback system is really lame, by the way. My friend just got into a situation where he ordered a poster and it turned out to be all bent up and creased. My friend left negative feedback and then the seller turned around and gave my friend negative feedback just to be a dick. Some people on that website really do suck.

yeah, it seems to be one big dick-suck. It's unlikely that anyone with a fair number of sales is going to screw you over, so the feedback system is a bit redundant at that stage.
