eBay's Believe It or Not, Tales From the Field!

The Part Timers Forum used to have an on-going thread about posts that were odd/funny/stooopid/contained weird CS answers ~ or just generally considered silly or outrageous.  The OP of the thread was "the medic", so while the PT group is still kickin', I thought it would be fun to start another similar thread.

 

Readers, if you run across a post, comment, feedback, etc., that is "off the beaten path", please add it to this thread.  I read the community almost every day and will contribute when something catches my eye. Just something to break up the boredom of listing, revising, answering questions, and working around the eBay listing glitches Smiley Surprised ~ or waiting for something to sell Smiley SurprisedSmiley SadSmiley Surprised

Yes ... I definitely concur! I enjoyed UP so much.  It has to be one of my favorites.

"I have had a buyer that is refusing to return the item after 45 days and the money is now missing." shipping+returns

 

This thread is about a seller who shipped extra items in the lot (by mistake) and the buyer is so upset that they are demanding a refund because they were sent extra items not depicted in the photos... and the buyer also refuses to ship everything back. It is a large lot of jewelry findings/supplies all new.

 

And when I checked, it was the seller's first sale and they now have a -1 FB - you almost never see that anymore!

Wow, the world IS really going nuts!   Imagine being upset because you received extra items?!?  How easy that would be to settle.  Notify seller.  No doubt the seller would pay for shipping of the 'extra' items sent by mistake. 

 

Note: This would happen in a normal world.

Can't decide if this one is funny or a sad commentary on the state of eBay users!

 

How do you guys file a police report dealing with an EBay issue?  Do you just call 911

Oh geez - they must think it qualifies as a life and death emergency.

Yup, which made it all the funnier....not "smart" to have that kind of an ID and then ask a question like that!

Holy guacamole batman. Sad. This is what happens without phonebooks. Maybe some civic club needs to take up the cause and pass out the chart that used to be in the front of every phonebook.

With that said, I'm sure the 911 operators get all kinds of harebrained calls. I listen to the police scanner sometime and it's bizarre stuff, like "she's walking down street X feels scared and needs a ride to Y." OR wee morning hours and X needs to go to work, but wants the police to come check the interior of her car before she walks out of the house.

Now this is a police department severely understaffed, yet you hear the officer take the call. I had never thought of calling the police when I was scared or wanted someone to check the backseat before I got in my car.

Looking through jewelry I found this listing photo....Now I can't figure out if you buy the item if this is included! NOT....

 

If You will need to use this if You buy the jewelry because it won't attract a MAN....

 

Or perhaps it is on the dresser after a HOT night out on the town and You did NOT need to use it...

I am too old to Have my mind in the gutter too often...Glad You told me it is a lipstick tube....I still would not take a picture like that. How many other people don't know about a lipstick called MAC?

Oh don't worry. I thought what you did, untll I saw the M from the MAC logo - it's an easily identified font if you've seen it before. And if you're not familiar then of course the rounded cap could throw you off!

I don't know what everyone else thought it could be, but I thought it was a knockoff of a montblanc pen. Now I'm feeling how I once thought of my mother, hopelessly naive. 😳

Pam, that is hilarious....and it is a rather odd looking picture, and is one of the reasons why eye witness reports are suspect ~ perception is everything ~ case in point:
