Selling article after a best offer is made
I had an offer made on an article a couple of weeks ago. I accepted the offer, but it still shows as waiting on the buyer's side. Does this mean that the buyer has changed his/her mind, or do I need to do something else besides accept the offer?
Ouch, tough question. Without being able to actually see what's going on in your account, this could mean one of 3 things:
1) The buyer hasn't had time to get back to the site and purchase your article. Be patient, and s/he will. (Usually, if you accepted the offer less than a week ago, this is the answer.)
2) The buyer is no longer interested. If you accepted the offer more than two weeks ago, and haven't heard *anything*, it's safe to assume the buyer is no longer interested. Just leave the article where it is; someone will come along and buy it sooner or later.
3) There's a glitch in the system. The article may have actually been purchased, but a glitch in the system is causing it to show up as still waiting. Check your account, to see how much money you've made recently, and check Your Recently Sold Content to see if the article shows up there. If it shows up in Your Recently Sold Content, and if it looks like you've been paid for it, you've probably sold that article and it's only showing as waiting because of a system glitch.
Hope that helps....
