I'm probably making a comment on a member of this board, but I hope not.
I bought a 914 emblem from an e-bay seller and was happy with the part but was a little disapointed that I paid $4.95 for a .60 cent postage sent in a "dove soap" box... Now don't get me wrong I've made my living on e-bay for almost 2 years and I'm aware of the costs involved...I gave him a possitive feed back because the part was "as discribed" I WOULD have been happy to buy from him again, I fully beleive that feedback sould tell the whole story.......so this arrogant asshole sent me this e-mail. GEEZEE his e-mail just pissed me off soooo bad...GAWD what A jerk. READ it and you judge. "Dear mr.levib, 4.95 is shipping and HANDLING!!! Do you think that the packaging is free? Do you think the bubblewrap which protects the item is free? Do you think that the tape which holds it securely is free? Do you think that the part you purchased mystically leaped from the car or did someone get paid to dismantle this part for you to purchase. Do you think that the paper and ink which printed the auction and the payment record were free? Do you think my time that I spent preparing the documents, Listing the auctions are worth nothing? Do you think the gas, oil and fluids including the wear and tear on my truck in order to deliver your item to the shipper are worth nothing as well? Seems like the miniscule 4.95 for shipping and handling is a bargain at best. I treat this as a business. Every business has an overhead. This items' shipping and handling cost were included in this auction before the 1st bid was cast. By winning the auction you agreed to all the terms stated therein. There were no hidden costs! Seems a little odd to agree to the terms and bitch about what you have agreed to do. Almost as confusing as leaving positive feedback with a negative explanation! Obviously you are aware that others who view your feedback make buying decisions on what they read. Fortunately for you the feedback I leave you will be clear and concise. Thank you, flatliner.com My message to him.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |

I sell all sorts of items on e-bay. It is fun and entertaining to sell just what people will buy. I am not expert, nor do I make a living doing it. When I have to ship an item I ussually get screwed by not charging enough shipping. The last item I shipped was a large tray table. The box cost me $13.45, the bubble wrap $1.00, and actual shipping was $18.95, gas, time, so on. I charged them 18.95. If I could have found a box for free, I would have, if I had enough of used bubblewrap, I would have. I am going to charge handling from now on. I do want to make money! If you knew what the charges were to begin with, you have no complaint. Just look at it like the guy was recycling and saving the earth. Leave bad comments on feedback for serious issues.
If you sell on e-bay you should already know this. Delete the e-mail and go on. He probably had a bad day. Good Luck, Sherry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |
