This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

I guess it is a matter of differing styles. I am relatively new to this, and honestly, if it was me, and someone had mentioned that fact, as well as being nervous about sending $US1700 dollars to an unknown entity, I would at least communicate with the person, answer their emails specifically, and explain to them that the watch wasn't going to be posted until the money, via PayPal was deposited into their personal bank account. I received no such information, communication to me was non existant from Thursday until Tues morning. Admittedly, I then went with full force, and my emails were not polite, and voila, today I received the information that the money he was waiting to go into his bank account, had, and also a tracking number.
In future I will know to ask exact details as to when the item shall be posted, in relation to the gap between PayPal and personal bank accounts and expectations as to replies to relevant emails.
Thanks to those and apologies to the others.
