Another gosh darn thing to make me say adios to eBay

[ellenshideout]

I am dealing with a very rude and beligerant buyer.

They are being suspicious. First asked where item was when I already gave them refund since envelope was returned for could not be delivered as addressed. Was the 20th of this month. Gave minus my shipping cost. Calling me a fraud saying I never mailed when tracking shows it did and showed being return tracking to me also! How to handle. Just got back from visiting cat cafe to try to cheer myself up now upset all over again!

Just think. A cat makes you feed it and clean up after it.

This cat had the crazies(every now and then) running around and ran into the bathroom and broke the toilet hitting it head on and creating a flood. End result....keep bathroom door shut..L

Looks innocent...but I kid you not.

We caught our two (sisters from the same litter), in the bathroom with the smaller sitting on the (closed, of course) toilet lid and the other taller one stretched up trying to work the handle. The tux sitting on the toilet would meow, and the other would bang on the handle. The tux would meow again and her sister would give another try at the handle. They finally gave up - fortunately, or we would have had to lock the bathroom because they'd be always in there, flushing the toilet and playing with the toilet roll.

As for OP's buyer - selling to the Public at Large requires a thick skin and good sense of the absurd. You're gonna get all kinds, some you cannot believe even know enough to keep breathing.

OH MY GOD. “HAVE A BLESSED DAY”. Well, you have a blessed B day and the buyer is not blessed by me.

A cat cafe to cheer you up? Naw, I'd go to the firing range.

This cat runs around everywhere in all rooms like someone is chasing him...ran into toilet and actually cracked it maybe head on. LOL.

Our manic tux would chase balls and bottle caps, ram her head right into the wall and just fly in another direction. You'd hear it go "boomp!"

She DID break our old lino floor, though - after she drank from her water bowl she'd hit the edge of the bowl so it would flip upside down and throw water all over the place - it soaked into our old lino and cracks started spreading.

These cute purry little things can just be murder furballs.

So he cracked the thick porcelain base hard enough to cause a flood but didn't crack his skull???

Selling items at that low of a price point is a digging in very hard ground. It can really attract some cranks, too - for some reason, instead of being happy they got something cool for a couple of bucks, some of these low dollar people just go off about everything. It's like they live in a famine world or something.

ETA: Those are really great scans!

Was it something like this?

 How to handle. Just got back from visiting cat cafe to try to cheer myself up now upset all over again! 

IMHO the best way to handle this is to make a conscious decision to stop letting complete strangers have that much control over your happiness. 

There are 135 million buyers on eBay. That means roughly 67.5 million of them have below average intelligence 🙂

Do you HAVE that card?  Oh, how many ways do I love it?!!   
My only beef is if one of the children had to be naked for some reason, it would not be the calico; it would be one of those knucklehead orange marmalades.  Also they would be obese.  Yup, fat and shameless, that's "orange cat" in a nutshell.  
The calico -she would be the mastermind who got this whole scene going, then dash to the corner to look all innocent when she hears Mom's heels coming down the hall.

You are so lucky, a Cat Cafe.  OMG I wish I had one of those close to me.  What FUN !!!

Don't let this buyer get you down.  They are just a bully.  Make sure you put them on your Block Bidders List so you don't have to deal with them again.  And then just report to Ebay the problem you are having with them about their emails.  You can report them right from the email as long as you aren't on the new version.  But if you are you can change back to the old version.  [This was covered in today's Seller Update if you are interested on more info].  

I simply would not put up with this.  If it were me, I would report the emails and I'd actually contact Ebay and report them.  But that is just me, you don't have to do both.

BTW, you should send them an email that is short, professional and polite.  Something like:

I'm sorry this transaction did not work out for you.  The item was returned due to not being deliverable to the address on your purchase.  I have refunded you.  Our transaction is complete.  This should put this to rest.  I wish you the best in the future.

*****************************************************************

On each Ebay page there is a link to contact Customer Service at the top of the page and again at the bottom of the page.

I would suggest that you contact Ebay for Business on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for the better trained CSRs.

Here are your options for contacting Ebay Customer Service. Please be aware that for social media CS, you send them a Private Message and briefly explain what your problem or issue is. Feel free to leave your Name, address, phone number and/or your email address in this message. It is private and secure and it may help to speed up the response for you.

Your options will be on the left. If you use the link below you can only get to the Automated Assistant or Chat box type AGENT in the box and hit enter. You will then get more options. Not all options are available 24/7. It will depend on staffing available. So sometimes you can request a call back and sometimes you can't. Sometimes you have the Chat option available and other times it won't me. If it is important to you to use one of those options, just try back later.

If you use a cell phone or other mobile device, you may need to turn off your Spam filter so that Ebay can call you.

If you are a seller outside of the US or Canada, you will need to use the Chat Option.
