Feedback is flawed

[gentlejax]

I sold 2 items recently but cancelled both because buyer was located in Puerto Rico.  The cost to send was more than 3x the listed cost to ship as the add was flat rate shipping in the USA.  
i did immediately contact the buyer when i cancelled and i also refunded him out of my pocket as funds were processing.  

when he responded the items were already listed.  He offered to still buy 1 item and pay shipping.  I didnt proceed with it because there were bids by the time i realized it so i just left it at that.  

next thing you know he gives negative feedback and ebay wont do anything even though he lied in the feedback.  

he left spiteful feedback only because he could.    he got his money back  so he shouldnt have done anything, he know the extenuating circumstances.  

23 yrs on ebay and the guy gets to leave feedback when it wasnt a legit purchase.  

im pretty angry my perfect score drops 3% instantly over this guy acting like a child.

Here is  your current ship to list  an exclusions -

Ships to: 

United States

Excludes: 

Barbados, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Israel, Libya, Martinique, New Caledonia, Reunion, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Venezuela

Personally have shipped items via USPS services  to all the US states and US Protectorates - Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii etc and never incurred a 3 X rate increase.   Found that UPS was  higher shipping cost that USPS.   After 23 years on eBay - you should have known this.

Your buyers FB was well earned.

I love sellers who do not want to sell to PR, I will gladly do it for them

@wastingtime101 ,

Since I sell sports cards and baseball is very popular in Puerto Rico frequently have buyers from their. I have not had any problems with having to ship as international package either.

Just because it says the cost and gave the price for shipping doesnt mean i actually used USPS.  For $63 certainly not.   That would have to ge big and or heavy.  I dint use Postal for that ever.  Simply because my postal carriers have broken or stolen too many times.  

i could very well have something listed as ship via USPS but i rarely go by ebay shipping. I use my shippo account 99% of the time.  

i have returned things that the seller wanted shipped postal but most of my items are delicate electronics and i dont trust postal to get them there. Their tracking is the worst and when they loose a package they dont care.

@gentlejax ,

I don’t know where you got your shipping rates. According to USPS website a 1 pound package using Ground Advantage from Boosier City to Purrto Rico is $4.13 with commercial base pricing which is what eBay charges.

Puerto Rico is not a colony of the US. They are a US protectorate and people born there are US citizens which would not be the case is Puerto Rico was colony.

Hi everyone,

This discussion has gotten a bit heated and a bit off topic. Please remember that, while it is fine to disagree with others, discussion should always remain friendly and respectful and on topic as required by the Community Guidelines.

Thank you for your cooperation.

$4.13 would be the online rate for a package weighing up to 4 ounces.  A package weighing 15.99 ounces would cost $6.78. But the OP is not shipping via USPS so their rates are moot.

You do not want to advertise that you ship with one carrier and turn around and ship with another. Thats another way to get deserved negative feedback.

Do any of you read or do you just love to hear yourselfspeak ? 

im half Puerto Rican.  I dont need any lessons from any of you on where it is or what it is. 

the item i was refering to wasnt the fuel filter . It was a set of coils and metal brackets plus another coil in the box.  

you dont even know what you are talking about.  

its been covered already about 35 times 

[gentlejax]

Then how about deleting the thread ?

ive already got the point and everyone is repeating the  same things even though it may or may not be relevant.  

nobody is reading anything after the original post.  

its time to close the post because its just a feeding frenzy now. 

close it.  Point made. 

[gentlejax]

So what?   You are quoting the wrong thing.  

it wasnt a 1 pound package.
