Manners

Is a please and thank you too much for ebayers these days?!

I have a NARU with no feedback, unconfirmed address, sent his parcel before he was NARU, for all I know I could be getting a chargeback.

He sent me a message 'why has xxxxxx not come yet have you sent it' no please, no thank you nothing. He paid sunday night i posted monday.

Some people have no manners. I pity people who frequently use ebay! :mad:

Some sellers are rude, too. Just been sent the wrong item. Got very abrupt reply ' Send it back I'll refund the postage' That was it. Manners cost nothing, I agree, and ignorance is not limited to those who buy.

I agree, have edited my post I didnt mean it to sound that only buyers cause problems just my frustration at this particular one.;) Luckily all the sellers i have dealt with lately have been good, i buy more than I sell but i always seem to get rude buyers.

I do a bit of both selling and buying. My most recent buyers (6) have all been great but for one NPB. My most recent purchases (6) have included the above ignorance, a seller who increased postage after auction end and one who downright lied about the item I subsequently bought. All sorted now though

Maybe the stress levels and charges generated by eBay itself are causing a lot of people to behave out of character? Maybe I'm just being kind and the place is full of nutters, chancers and fools

There are plenty of nutters out there, they seem to come in batches, personally things will go swimmingly for a while, then you get a load of aggro all at once.

Hi,

I always say Hi, please, thankyou and sorry if necessary. I try to write all emails as I would a letter and text speak is always outlawed. Text speak is awful and I am not an old fogey, I am 31.

I'm afraid ebay has encouraged this sort of behaviour in the last year.

Before when ebay was just a venue, and management/marketing didn't try to encourage buyers to be rude, they were all very pleasant and never had a problem. This is a recent change in attitude.

Whilst I don't excuse rudeness from sellers, I would say you are partially correct. Sellers get bomabarded with messages these days and most of them quite abrupt, so you can have a tendancy to go in to rapid fire mode to rattle through them and the first few messages from buyers can set the reply tone for the rest.
