Post Your Stupid Story Of The Day Here

Buyer isn't happy with the cost of shipping.  I gave him the dimensions and weight of the box with my zipcode and said 'See if you can find a better rate'.  He just replied and said I should send a 15 pound large box media mail.  --- Straight to Blocked Bidders List.

 

 

What have you got today?

Or where are the other 19 when she bought a musical score.

List more, sell more. Goodwill that other, uh, stuff.

Feeling sleepy? There's an app for that.

"My offer for a lot got turned down because "you ALSO sell jewelry and I don't want these resold". "

Which is why, for the last 15 years or so..

I've had separate selling, buying and posting accounts.

 

fwiw,

Someone offered me $40 for a $120 item.  I declined.  He came back with $35, so I declined again and blocked.

 

A few weeks ago I had a $10 offer on a $100 item.  I declined then blocked.

i get those and do the same. I will sometimes do one counter offer and my husband does same, if they come back only a buck to 5 bucks more we just decline and block. Done.

I don't usually buy any of my inventory on ebay. Only gifts at christmas time. I have one account, and use it for my posting ID as well. Never had a problem, but I don't usually try to rub anyone the wrong way to have to make a posting account or whatever. But completely understand why some others do. There are some spiteful people out there. And who cares what someone does with the stuff once its sold. Seller got their money, should be happy to have a sale now a days...lol... Good luck everyone!

One buyer early on wanted an absolute guarantee that the used cell phone (and charger) had no scratches or damage and was in the original box with the books and everything. I told him AT LEAST a dozen times that NO it is just the phone and the charger, nothing else.  Thank God someone else bought it first. Sigh. I got out of electronics after that.

 

Oh and one of the last DVDs I sold was Borat - which came from the factory in a **bleep** home made looking box and the disk itself looked like handwriting with a sharpie (though it did say the studio in tiny writing on the inner circle).  The buyer ranted that it was bootleg...until he saw one in a store that was identical to what he received.

And even now, too many buyers equate putting things in their cart to buying "Where's the jeans I bought? Its been over a week!" I don't ship until you PAY so go in the cart and apply a payment, then I'll ship them out.

Oh and the buyers who buy late Saturday night, but threaten a dispute when the item doesn't arrive in the mail Monday morning.
