PayPal Payment Pending....

[TatooedLady]

Okay, now that I've won the auction for the slot machine, how long does it normally take for a seller to accept payment and get a machine shipping? I'm more than just a little excited :smt096 :smt101 :smt026 :smt081 that I won, and looking forward to having my first machine at home so that I can start pushing buttons and dropping tokens...

Got a link to the auction? We would like to share your joy!

If you paid with a credit card(not debit) then your payment should be credited to the seller's account within minutes.

It depends on who the seller is as to how quickly they ship. Most major sellers will ship within 3 days or less. If the seller has to find a box, pack the game and get it to UPS or Fedex, then expect to wait up to a week for shipping to occur(I believe eBay thinks 3-7 days to ship is reasonable).

[Firewire]

Yep, totally depends on the seller. Some take as long as 10 days before shipping! Others ship same or next day.... :-?

The ones who take longer usually don't have the machine ready even though they auctioned it off. The machine case has to be painted, cleaned, tested, and sometimes a transformer has to be installed.

Won an auction thru Stealth, my payment is thru PayPal using my checking account, but from what it shows on my end, it's all been pushed thru. Just haven't bid on ANYTHING on Ebay (and never using paypal) in so long that I have no clue if it takes longer because it's not credit card or if it makes any difference. I know in a day or two it'll be on its way regardless, and this all won't make a difference other than just to satisfy my curiosity.

With Stealth you shoudl have ti early next week at latest! They are very fast! I hope you only payed them 59$ for shipping too. He has a deal set up with patchitalk memebers!

[TatooedLady]

yep, I mentioned the "pachitalk hookup", it's a go....guess I can keep myself busy in the meantime taking care of the boyfriend now that he caught the same flu that knocked me over last week...nah...gotta get ready for my baby to get here! hehehe

[luckydog]

milt and pachinko-pallace are the fastest shippers i have delt with,

of course new york is closer to florida than california,

but, some [i won't mention names] don't even ship for 3 or 4 days after the payment is made.

If you call Stealth during business hours and ask for a tracking number, either Milt or Marie (business manager) will give you the tracking number over the phone, and then you can track your new baby. He has always shipped my machines within 48 hours after payment, I only live four hours away so I usually get them within 3 days after they ship.

I called Stealth yesterday I said, "I placed an order last night and just wanted to make sure you got it and check to see if it would ship today."

Without even a second pause she said "Yes, your Triple Rider will go out today." I didn't even have to give her my name. And this was the first time I ordered from them.

Caller ID I presume. (And great customer service.)

well, it's not Milt, and it's not because I was slow to get the paypal account setup, but because I didn't have any idea how much I'd need in the pp account to cover everything, so didn't have funds standing by. It's always something. So now I get to wait for my bank and pp to pow-wow and decide that my cash is good, and send my money to milt so I can get my new toy...this DOES give me a chance to rearrange the furniture, anyhow...I have this sewing cabinet that would work GREAT for a couple machines...oh...and TOKENSSSSSSSSSSS! gotta go visit 7mileslots to stock up!
Gettin' twitchy here... :smt104
NEXT time I go to play with an auction, I think I'll try to have money IN my PayPal account to cover the cost.....the suspense is KILLING me!!

Hey lady with tattoos : take a camera with you to 7miles and click some pics for us.
What I do with PayPal is use a credit card as that way you don't have to keep funds on tap or use your checking account. Plus you have the extra bakup protection of your credit card company. Just a thought...

[TatooedLady]

camera? hey, I hadn't thought about that...might have to 'borrow' my son's digi-cam, if they allow people to take pics there, anyhow.
I would've used my credit card, but I got rid of it and my bank account that had the VISA logo check card because I found the credit union more to my speed...oh, well.
