HELLO ALL,

 I HAVE FOUND THAT GOOD COMMUNICATION IS A MUST DURING A TRANSACTION WHETHER YOU ARE THE BUYER OR THE SELLER. BEING A SELLER IT IS VERY HELPFUL IF A BUYER COMPLETES THE CHECKOUT ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE PLANNING ON MAILING THEIR PAYMENT. THIS LETS THE SELLER KNOW THAT THE BUYER HAS RECIEVED THE INVOICE OR THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THEY HAVE WON THE ITEM AND THAT THEY PLAN ON PAYING. THERE ARE SO MANY NON PAYERS OUT THERE THAT IT IS JUST A GOOD IDEA TO DO THIS. THIS ALSO HELPS THE SELLER BECAUSE THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS THE PACKAGE AND WHEN THE PAYMENT IS RECIEVED THE PACKAGE CAN BE SHIPPED RESULTING IN THE BUYER GETTING THEIR PACKAGE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

AS FAR AS COMMUNICATION ON THE SELLERS PART. WHEN THE SELLER RECIEVES PAYMENT AND HAS SHIPPED THE ITEM IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO CONTACT THE BUYER SO THEY KNOW THEIR ITEM IS ON THE WAY. FOR THOSE THAT USE THE PAYPAL POSTAGE IT IS A GREAT FEATURE ON THERE WHEN YOU PRINT SHIPPING FOR THE ITEM IT GOES AHEAD AND EMAILS THE BUYER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR PACKAGE IS ON ITS WAY AND IT ALSO LETS THEM FOLLOW UP ON THE DELIVERY WITH THE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION ON THE PACKAGE.

AND AS ALWAYS ON ANY AUCTIONS IF IT ISN'T STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION AND YOU WANT TO KNOW EMAIL THAT SELLER.

THANKS FOR YOU TIME AND I HOPE THIS HELPS MANY PEOPLE!!
