Deferred Payment

Yesterday, I received payment for an item that the Buyer placed on order for on 31st January, 2008. If you are a regular customer, you will know that I only allow three days for payment. It does not matter if the three days are working days or public holidays because banking is so convenient now that it does not make a difference.

So this person placed an order, which I confirmed but there was no response from him. After a couple of days, I sent him a reminder and there was no reply as well. I then cancelled his order after two weeks.

This time, I gave him a longer period to pay since it was the Chinese New Year holidays and I could not ship out anyway. Well, since he did not reply, took it that he had changed his mind and relisted my item so that other people will have a chance to buy it.

Whoa, suddenly this person made payment to me and the odd thing is that he did not even have the courtesy to let me know that he has made payment. But before that, I really would appreciate if you are deferring your payment, to let me know about it so that I don't have to keep waiting, keep checking my bank account or to waste time relisting the item.
