Finishing the transaction with feedback
Perhaps there’s no chicken dinner, but the thrill of the chase is over, and you’ve bought (or won) your eBay item. Congratulations — now what do you do? You have to follow up on your victory and keep an eye on what you’re doing. In this chapter, you can get a handle on what’s in store for you after you buy your item. I clue you in on what the seller is supposed to do to make the transaction go smoothly and show you how to grab hold of your responsibilities as a buyer. I give you info here about following proper post-sale etiquette, including the best way to stay organized, communicate with the seller professionally, and send your payment without hazards. I also brief you on how to handle an imperfect transaction.
