OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Shes put the doll up for sale for 25 euros - and the box looks fine...


I am so not impressed. Should I email the other seller with the neutral that her destroyed box looks fine too?

Can I complain to ebay?

I wouldnt mind If I felt that the neutral was justified. Pm me if you want have a look...

Off to collect children from school...

Is she using the same id as she bought on or using the same picture?

We had a similar post recently on the ebay board, in that instance the new seller suddenly found herself with lots of questions from interested buyers asking why an item was bad enough to leave a neutral for is suddenly in such good condition.

Ohhh Soolin, that would be really clever. Unfortunately, she is using a different id and has take LOADS of photos beautifully displaying the doll, and its lack of damage. There is a small bent area in the top left corner, and thats all.

With the other seller - exactly the same - you can see that the plastic has little bent out of shape at some stage, but it really isnt that noticable, and she has photographed it from Every angle!!

What should I do next, can lots of bods suddenly get interested in it???

What did that dodgy buyer from the ebay boards do?

Yeah, sure it is Floxxie. We hear you.

Think you're right that it's better to shut up completely for the hols as people just won't read it, or they'll be too thick to understand it. I do still have a friend working with me, but there'd be so much stuff to move to her house, several car loads, plus all packaging materials etc that it would be far too much hassle. Plus, she'd need access to the emails and I use the business email for loads of personal stuff too, so I'd need to change all that. I did think about it, but only briefly!

How's you anyway?

:rotfl:I then read LHB response and thought she was suggesting I was selling a doll Anyway have far too many children to have anything under my bed except buggies.

Yes keeping your shop open sounds far too much hassle so you may as well have a well deserved holiday (I won't day a stress free one with the children). I still haven't managed to get over to your thread properly but did I read you have a kitten? Are the two children not enough for you and your busy life?

Just racking my brains over what to do with your 'buyer' LHB...Soolin might have a good idea. My threatening buyer decided to try the same trick on with a Powerseller and whereas I failed to get eBay to get rid of her, within a couple of hours this other person had. I have no idea how, as I have never had any influence over the people who work at eBay.

I wish I could find the thread but I have no luck at all with the MSE search facility. However it was a motorcycle jacket if you want to have a try.

In the end the 'new' seller actually was given details of the thread and came on to argue her case. She seemed to be completely unaware at how odd she was behaving and it did rather get nasty with lots of 'I am disabled' type posts to explain why it was OK to rip off other sellers.

Basically she bought a jacket described as fair to good condition, left a neg as it was in an appalling state, then re listed it on the same ID as 'very good, hardly worn no damage' and claimed she had had it for a while and it belonged to her son.

To Floxxie --No, No , No - Im not suggesting that you are selling a doll!!!!

(is it the phil & teds - and did you do well? Im going have to get around to selling mine before september...)

I will search for the motorcycle jacket thread.

to Soolin---I have just sent her a lovely email asking her to return the doll as the box is so damaged and I will then give her a full refund, and asking her to remove the neutral.
I told her that I sent a copy to customer services, which I am just about to do, with a request for a feedback change.
Its definately my doll - the sticky area from the original price tag is the same, as is the general wear from the loft!!
Its in her ebay shop though, so doesnt come up in listings.

Dont know how I will get on...

Hi LHB,

Good luck with sorting your buyer out.

Yes it was the P&T. I split the buggy and double kit down which in hindsight was a big mistake and caused all sorts of problems ...numerous messages about wanting to buy them together and would I cancel the double kit sale and let them buy the buggy first and then sell the double kit later. Did it have x and y. Did it fit x and y. Why is it so cheap...I could go on but I think you get the general gist.

Am trying to find a double kit for my buggy buyer; she appears really lovely and is local - anybody have a spare one for a Sport?
Just hope she arranges collection soon and as it is cash, that is good. Not sure what money was made yet but it was £230 for both items.

Am going to have my M&P pram/buggy serviced and will then put that on as well. I will have to start at £65 I think as the service and box will have cost £56!
Have also decided to sell my Wii as I have used it once and the children 4 times - makes it quite an expensive item.

Anyway must get on with trying to put dinner together and then write yet another essay.

Raini

OK time to own up ... I pledged 120 listing in June & so far I've done 54! So actually not too bad for half way through the month

Also, just put some on there tonight & all the photos are free!! :T And making them big is free too! :T:T (Sorry if I'm late to this revelation but I was really excited!!)

Hi - me again!!! - nothing yet from that buyer...,

but just to show that this selling lark is like that proverbial box of chocolates - sold a cd on amazon. the buyer gave me a 4 (out of 5) and said 'the transaction was fine, all I have to do is make time to listen to it now'!!!!.

At least its not me who looks a bit odd!

Then I sold a large childrens toy on a collection - it went for 3 times what I bought it for 8 years ago (though Im giving 20% of final value to a local charity).
It was bought by someone in the next village who has a young child my sons age, also with cerebral palsy, who goes to a school that my son has lots of friends at. We dont know them as they have just moved into the area. My daughter has sorted out her play food and pots and pans so that they have something to use with it immediately. We got on well over the phone, and are arranging for a coffee session!!

I cant believe its such a small world...

Floxxie, I was toying with the idea of putting my p&t into a local NCT sale which does pushchairs, and charging about £210 for the buggy, doubles kit and raincover. They will charge £10, and the buyer can try it out immediately.
I sold an entire bebe confort system for £160 a couple of years ago at the NCT sale, - the most expensive item in the sale, and the first thing to go!! It was fabulous, but I wish I tried it outside the shop. My town has a historic centre, and the pram didnt go through many doors!!!! - stopped my spending though:rotfl:
Can you sell your m&p through an NCT sale - you dont have to be a member to sell?

Floxxie

What a great idea LHB, will have to do a bit of research on this as it would save so much hassle. £210 sounds like a bargain - are you able to put any labels on items e.g. originally bought for £x. I don't think people realise how expensive the P&T stuff is, especially the extras.

Have been paid for another item so thats about £12 for the pot.
Did I tell you all that I have gone back on my plan to have the downstairs redone? I changed my mind the day I walked in to find DS2 had decorated all the kitchen units. Realised in that instant that he would do the same to the 'new' rooms. Will reconsider the decision when all the carp has gone (DS2 will be 16 by then! :rotfl:)

Raini, hello again. Well done on all that listing - far more than me! I'm not aware of free piccies and sizing. Will have to have a look when listing next.
