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 sold some bib overalls on Ebay. A woman bought them for her husband. In the ad I stated the chest size but I didn't state that it was the chest size and she thought it was the waist. So I get a email from her asking if she can exchange them for a larger size or get a refund. I tell her sorry that is the only size I have and as the ad wasn't clear I would refund her money. I go look and she left me a negative feedback an hour before she emailed me and asked for the exchange/refund. So I emailed her again and quoted ebay where they say try and work out problems before leaving feedback and ask her if she had ever read that. Never heard back from her again. You can't make everyone happy.....
