eBay 'Arsehole of the day'

[itfciain]

I have had my fair share of arseholes over the past month or so - sales have been great but with it comes much arseache from various numpties that really shouldn't be allowed in front of a computer

These include a guy in Spain who declared his package lose 10 days after he made his purchase and demanded a full refund, a guy in Belgium who ordered something on the 28th, got it on the 10th and left feedback saying it was 7 days late and a guy in France who left me Neutral feedback because his package took 13 days to arrive (including New Year holiday)

So I think I am going to start to list some of them up on here as a way of venting

Here is todays message - from a buyer out here in the US

"Hello, Any idea when will you be shipping this order? It was bought and paid on Sunday 1/17 and it shows not shipped yet."

Chap purchased a pack of stands on Sunday, Monday was a holiday so the first time the PO was open since he ordered was today and it was shipped this afternoon, I just haven't uploaded the tracking number. Just how impatient and rude is this ?

He's a **** mate! :twisted:

I'd refund his money & tell him to **** off but you've already posted his items so I'd just block him so you don't have to deal with the mong ever again!

 

[poncho]

Another numpty iain! ****ing impatient bastards.

Getting too much of this on eBay now , either numpties or non payers

A complete minefield

 

[sparkysx]

It is rude, it doesn't bother me at all if something isn't marked as shipped, I don't always mark something as shipped after I ship it.

:roll: people are mad Iain....surely you know this :lol:

Two words *eBay cunts*

I'd never sell anything there again. It's full of ass holes now making it a potential mine field for trouble.

 

[plantainman]

ebay is a buyers market these days, and seemingly the more inbred you are, the more Paypal/Ebay will reward you for it.

 

[StarWarsFan]

Sorry to hear that mate. What annoys me is when people say would you ship to France or some where when I say UK Only please.

 

[stormcab]

Glad I've sold off everything I planned to and can keep selling on the bay to a minimum in the future. Don't envy you.

I feel for ya mate, it is nodger central. I've had my fair share of twat buyers over the years. Slightly different issue but I posted a thread the other day about someone who thought the 12 inch (range) Yoda I sold them should be 12 inches tall! Demanded a refund :roll: No need for impatience with delivery though, it's the online retail world to blame with all their next day delivery bollocks.

Two more to ad to the list today

Both purchased something late on Thursday (21st) - both had their items posted out on the Saturday (23rd) - both messaged me yesterday (26th) chasing it up and then both have messaged me again today - so chasing items 5 days after you have purchased them and 1/2 working days after they have been posted - seriously people !

Very frustrating indeed :x

I haven't sold any vintage on ebay for ages and the thought of it sends shivers down my spine :|

Given up on reporting impatient buyers - had two today (Tuesday) chasing up items that they bought on Sunday

But I have a new arsehole of the day - just logged on to eBay to find this little negative up for me "défectueux, paquet déchiré, 1 figurine trés abimée"

For those of you who don't speak French or have Google translate then his gripe is that the package was torn and one of the (3) figures was damaged. However instead of contacting me and asking if I would put it right, he just went right ahead and left the negative. What can I do - its hardly my fault if the package was damaged in the mail - but even so I would have given him a refund for the damaged figure - but I just don't understand leaving feedback without giving the seller a chance ??

 

[Darth Bobby]

Dunno what it is with eBay? Seems to bring out the worst in people, I had a one on Sunday. Too boring to go into but got it sorted in the end. But it pissed me off for the whole day. Just a symptom of eBay. Bell End Central.

Hoping to buy a couple of figures off your ebay shop auctions, didnt realise it was you until I went to your shop and saw your name on it. Hopefully I now won't get to appear on this thread

haha - it take a lot to wind me up (I see it all on eBay) but right now eBay are in the process of screwing over a lot of really good sellers. I have just lost my Top Rated Seller title because I have too many postage defects - basically buyers have marked my deliveries late even if I had them posted off in the right time scale. They give Royal Mail 1 day to deliver first class but even Royal Mail say that only 93% of first class mail is delivered next day

It is crazy right now and everyday I am dealing with people not getting their items in the allotted time scale - most of which are abroad where I really can't control how long it takes

I used to do a lot of eBay and PayPal stuff but grew to hate them both. I now use it to buy occasionally and that's it.

I used to sell books, shipping them out of amazons warehousing, but it just became too much hassle for the money I was making and keeping my sanity.
