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? |

Here are my tips for sellers:
Don't give feedback until you have a happy customer on the other end. Don't offer conditional feedback (that is against the rules even though lots do it)** Be careful about giving negative feedback. Think if it will really benefit you. I only give negative feedback for crooks. I'm not going to risk my feedback though for a non-payer or non-responder. For buying use a different user ID. This allows you to give negative feedback to sellers without endangering your selling record with retaliatory feedback. **What I do is include a note with my auction saying something like "Thanks for the purchase. Let me know when you've received the item and are 100% satisfied and I will gladly give you positive feedback." |
