I sold something on one of 'my' selling sites on the 15th. Said item required a bit more specialized packing material than I had in my supply, and I was working during the day so didn't have much time to get to the store (finally did so yesterday; it's not going out until tomorrow anyway). This guy is probably the most persistent buyer I've ever had.
9/17: three emails, all of which were responded to with a professional "the item will ship shortly, please be patient"
9/19, 9/21, and 9/22: Seven phone calls (four within 30 minutes, mostly hangups, with two barely-comprehensible voicemails; if I didn't already guess what he was calling about I never would have deciphered it). I don't know where this buyer got my phone number (probably from Google Wallet, if they don't require one I'm taking it down posthaste). The jerk even called at 9 AM on a Saturday...how did he even know he had the right number? Neither of my phone numbers even hint at any sort of business. On what planet is hammering a seller with emails and phone calls after 2 days acceptable?
This behavior can probably be reported to the site, and I'm definitely mentioning it in feedback if I can. He's nowhere near local to me, which is good. I'm also tempted to mark the item and/or photograph my packing it in case he tries to pull something..although it's fairly unique, so he wouldn't be able to pull a switcheroo unless he broke into a specific museum.
