St Jude , how long do we wait ?

How long do we wait for the payment ?
I have tried to pm a bid winner and there is no response .

[elkken]

If they have an email also in their profile try that, some folks do not spend much time here and might miss a PM ... but I would keep my donated item available and not sell it or get rid of it any time soon.

Some folks may not know they won, as in a recent post here in Pow Wow ...

Could take awhile.  I paid for my item as soon as the auction ended and sent correspondence the next day.  I am in not rush, but wouldn't want anyone to think that I hadn't paid.

As a couple of time bid winner I certainly wouldn't expect my item until paid cleared on the auction listing.  And as a first time donator I have not shipped until I have seen the paid cleared on the listing.  I think there is some info out there about that.  I don't mind waiting either way.  IMHO it important that the monies pledged get where it needs to go and donaters take care of their end properly also.  Thanks for the folks that make it all happen!

Have you checked the listing in the auction. Most of them are marked "paid" as the last entry.

At least the item I donated was, and every other item I randomly checked was marked paid.

Great point.  I hadn't heard anything, and mine is marked paid.  Like I said, I am in no rush, but that would be a great place to check for Graps.

I won some horns from Hackbow.  I PMd him.  He has no email.  Still waiting for contact from him.  Item is marked paid.

I have an item in waiting for someone that hasn't paid yet. If they don't pay after a while, It will go to the next highest bidder I believe.  I think that's part of the rules

Hackbow is the guy I have been trying to contact .
Hope he is OK .

[Hackbow]

Hey all, I need to apologize for lack of communication. I started a new business on the Monday after the auction ended and my computer promptly crashed.  I am picking it up in working condition this evening and will get all communications to everyone before I hit the hay.

[Pine]

Well glad you are OK , I was starting to worry about you .

[Eric Krewson]

I had a guy a couple of years ago that seemed to disappear after the auction, no communication. Turns out he left on a long trip just before the auction ended and didn't know he won the item.

He promptly paid up when he got back and found out that he won the item.
