Not really, no. I don't love them. But it's been a while since I had anyone have trouble with anything I've sold - until this week. Sold a child's saddle, used. I cleaned it, conditioned it, checked it for soundness, it was a good little saddle made by a reputable maker.
It sold in 24 hours of being listed with a package deal for a complete set up.
Several days after it was delivered, I got a snotty message that began with: I don't want to leave you negative feedback but.... and the chief complaint was that there was some rust on the screws at the swells - which is normal. They threw in later that the leather was 'so brittle it almost came apart'. Which was not true at all. It was such a nice little saddle, I was tempted to keep it for my own granddaughter. I had two rodeo friends tell me it was too nice to flip, that I should keep it. Buyer said they paid a ridiculous amount of money for it and wanted a partial refund.
The partial refund would have made the saddle price at about their initial low ball offer.
Thanks to being here off and on and reading, reading reading, I wisely messaged them back a simple: I'm sorry you're not satisfied with the item. Persuant to eBay's return policy, please open a return, I will pay for the shipping back, and upon receiving the items in the condition they were shipped out, I will refund in full.
Lo and behold...
Suddenly no no. It's fine. Really. My son insists on keeping it...
In the meantime, I'd looked at their own feedback - been here since 2007, had a 24 score, and had never, ever, left anyone, feedback, for anything, ever.
So.
Yeah. Whatever.
I don't get people. It's dishonest and aggravating.
Thanks for all the advice given to me in the past and to others that I lurked around and read, Community.
