Tired of buyer stupidity

Reason for return:

 

Doesn't Fit

(because you need to use a rubber mallet to pound them in, they don't just slip in there)

 

Reason for return:

Doesn't work / Defective

(because you need to set a GAP with a GAUGE or it won't work!)

 

Dang backyard mechanics I get really tired of paying these shipping fees.

Re: Tired of buyer stupidity

As long as you continue to think of your buyers as "STUPID" and voice that opinion, your sales will and should decline dramatically. Your returns should dramatically increase as well!  Just because you sell, that does not make you a genius compared to a buyer, whose money you depend on!! Think it over, maybe ebay is not your niche.

Re: Tired of buyer stupidity

Get used to it. It's a new generation thing. Stupid is the new norm. I just had a coin returned where the buyer stated they believed it to not be genuine. Seriously, a certified coin by PCGS doesn't get any more genuine at $50 a pop. It makes you wonder how people can even survive on so few brain cells. Good luck and have a good day!

On eBay we face a wide variety of humanity. It’s part of the deal. Sorry it is costing you.

Re: Tired of buyer stupidity

Mainly buyers with 0 feedback.

Yes they are idiots, I do not care if I hurt some sellers or buyers feelings.

I have been on Ebay near 22 years.

In the last year the dumbness has become much worse.

My listings are near idiot proof....well I guess not. Ebay sent me a warning on my listing because my title said "NOT A PART" I argue with the Ebay knuckleheads for weeks on the issue of people buying my listing, and thinking they were getting a part. After an Ebay supervisor read my listing, she could not understand why people were expecting a part when it clearly says repair service. But she doubled down on I could not put "NOT A PART" in the title and said further action would include account suspension??? CrAzY isn't it.  SO I put the wording in the Picture... didn't help.

I have to refund someone 5+ times a week because they do not read the listing for our repair services. Want a good laugh, go and read my listings for ford EATC rebuild services. Even with the picture saying "YOU ARE NOT BUYING A PART THIS IS A REPAIR SERVICE" 3-5 idiots a week buy it and then complain where is my part your listing is deceptive. IDIOTS like I said...can't fix stupid.

Re: Tired of buyer stupidity

 ...one day we can all have a good laugh about it all.

 

The immortal words of my fiance's father in the waiting room after we checked my fiance into the psychiatric wing of the university hospital.

Male half of the classic schizophrenogenic family.  

We didn't marry.

That was 1968.   52 years later I waiting on that good laugh.

Sorry...your turn of a phrase just triggered a very old, old memory.
