Fastest Way To Get Paid?

United States

Okay so being the dummy I am I did not read that it would take about 20/21 days for payment to arrive to my paypal after selling something. Guess what the dummy did? Buy something thinking that when my item sold that I could use it immediately. It's a digital camera and I don't know what I should do...contact the seller and say that I didn't know? What is the fastest way to get the payment to my paypal? I was thinking of maybe telling the seller that my payment isn't coming in until later BUT then that would just make the person more impatient imo...I don't know what to do, help guys...thanks!

I bought the camera but don't have the funds yet to buy it though I will in about 12 more days...should I tell the seller that and hope for the best??

That means you have not remitted money. Your apprehension is that he may sell it to some other person. You can tell the seller that you will be taking it after 10/12 days. let him decide. If he has not received any other offer or is not confident of other enquiries he may agree and wait.

Yeah, I guess you just have to discuss this with the seller, and work out a better option that's fair for both of you.

Hi, Put it on a watch list, send a message to the seller you may purchase it on the next dew days. Anyway if the item is sold another similar item should come up for sale, either on the same store or on another store which may offer a better bargain.
