I'm so pissed off.
Remember the guitar I was selling for my friend last week? It was an absolutely GORGEOUS, mint-condition Alembic. I mean, this thing was MINT.... I cannot possibly express how clean this instrument was. Nevertheless, winning bidder buys it.... pays for it immediately..... so I leave very positive feedback for such a quick payment, and ship it out the next day. 3 days go by, and I get an e-mail... "It has dents and scratches all over it..... What will you do to rectify this situation?? I told him that if it is damaged, he can bring it to the post office and claim insurance on it. After all, I insured it for more than he paid for it........ But he didn't want to do that. I offered him a full refund if he sent it back...... He didn't want to do that either. What he DID want.......... was cash. He said that I should refund the difference between what he paid for shipping, and what I actually spent on shipping..... which was about $35.00. (Keep in mind, this was almost a $1500 transaction). Yet.... he demanded that I pay him first.... THEN he'd leave his feedback. I refused to "buy him off" for $35....... now I have my first negative feedback in 67 transactions...... over 35 f*cking dollars. What an asshole. This ever happened to anyone else? |

I feel your pain.
After over 500 eBay transactions, I got my first negative feedback last week from a newbie. I saw an item I wanted to bid on. The seller did not state the shipping cost, so I sent him an e-mail to ask "How much?". He promptly replied. I won the auction. He then sends me an invoice asking for more than double the shipping he quoted a few days earlier. I sent him several emails asking WTF? (politely). He never replies. A week later he give me a neg. for nonpayment. I mostly buy (snipe) stuff so it really didn't hurt me lowering my feedback to 395 (99.7%) OTOH, his score went from 3 down to 2 (75%) :finger2: |
