Ebay Stupidity (humor?)

<< < (3/8) > >>

Donkey_Kong:
Usually, no matter how ridiculous a buyer gets on an ebay transaction...I just smile and comply, for fear of negative feedback.

This method worked and we had 100% positive feedback for over a decade with many transactions, until one day a Frenchman decided to neg me for sending 45m kite lines, when he had paid for 40m lines, but thats why we love the French so much, right?

Raleigh:
If I get an unsatisfied buyer, I always tell them to ship it back for a full refund.  I'll take the hit in shipping and they will too if they want to send it back, I provide a lot of pictures and give full details so there shouldn't be any suprises when they get it.  I wont negotiate after the fact, it's all or nothing.

I'm a power seller and a top rated seller so when that happens every couple years it's not a big deal.

99% of what I sell are inherited items so they don't cost me anything but my time.  I've sold all the $xxx and $x,xxx items now and I am just left with some boxes of small dollar items so I'm at the point to be done with ebay, have a yard sale and enjoy life without hearing laughable complaints.

Bootay:
Part of the fun of selling things online is dealing with the general retardation of the public.

I posted a DVD Player in the free section of Craigslist, some lady came and picked it up. 4 hours later she is knocking at my door. I answer and she says "I need the remote. You didn't give me the remote." I said "Go buy a universal one" she said "I did and I still cannot get the 5.1 speakers working without the remote that came with it." I told her I didn't know where the remote was.

2 weeks later, there's a knock at the door. Same lady. "Did you find the remote yet? I really need it." so I told her "Look. the DVD Player was free. You can give it back if you want. Or you can hop on ebay and look for the proper remote." She says "I already spent money on a universal remote and now I have to pay for another remote?" I finally had to tell her. "Deal with it. The item was free. It is no longer my problem."

Ridiculous.

Dear GOD I wish you were kidding, but I know youre not. Thats terrible! Thats why I always do my CL stuff at a public place. I ditch em then leave. I have however had a few people come to my house, but nothing like that has ever happened. My mind is blown all over my window after reading that. Hilarious!  :lol
