Advice Needed Is it bad practice to pay for shipping off platform as a buyer?
I ordered a dress from someone, on Monday, for a birthday that was a week after that (which was bad planning on my part I'd admit). I messaged the seller on the next day to see if it could get delivered on time, and I was told it would get shipped on Saturday latest. So, I asked if it would be possible for me to pay for tracked 24 or next day delivery (on royal mail) so it'd be likely to come on time for me, but I haven't gotten a response yet even though they were online a few hours ago and my message was sent yesterday. I'm not sure if it sounded sketchy or like a bad idea, or if I'm just overthinking the whole thing.
