I give up to 30 days after close of auction before getting
adversarial about things.
This is allowing 7days for arrival of check and 7 days for
cashing. If you are usingPayPal, etc. I would take at least
10 days off of the 30. Also, I allow 7 days for reciept of a
complaint eMail before filing an eBay complaint.
I have on dozens of occaisions recieved similiar courtesies,
and on only two gotten truly rude treatment.
For me: 95% Good sellers, 5% Honest Jerks, 0.25% Crooks
