Thats it I have had enough of ebay

chja

Left my first ever neg today !

Item had not arrived after 10 days so emailed the seller - no response. Raised paypal claim after 2 weeks which prompted an email to say don't worry will get it in a few days. Finally turns up today - posted 2 days after the paypal claim - nice item, so was just going to make it neutral, but then notice its been sent 66p 2nd class when I paid £2 for first !

Some sellers just don't help themselves.

we have given up selling on ebay, with the fee's and paypal fee's it was wasnt worth the effort,its only a buyer's market and rather don my thermals and do a car boot...

more proof of the morons trying out internet shopping for the first time this xmas..

this time the guy managed to find the "contact seller" button, which is an improvement on the last person. but they still felt the need to leave negative feedback at the same time. both of which were so badly typed my 1 year old could do better.

this time it was over a music game we had sent out which requires an console attachment. we were only selling the game itself, hense the "this is just the game" having been in the description.

the buyer hadn't bothered to read this, and has had a moan about the game being useless without it. i have send a very polite, tho slightly sarcastic email but again this is a person who jumps the gun but doesn't come back to to check their email.

its sad as although it may not sound like it in this instance we have a lot of respect for our customers. but in the new year we are starting a new listing policy. its called;

"FIT FOR MORONS"

which means i have to describe everything as if the person reading it has a brain the size of a peanut. Unfortunately even this will be ineffective if people continue to buy 2nd hand items from an independent seller without bothering to read the actual description.

There's a first time for everyone luckily most don't come up against sarcastic sellers like you cleverly wording your auctions to effectively sell people useless junk.

so what is clever or sarcastic about.."this is just the game" it couldnt be more straight forward about what is for sale.. you obviously find that hard to understand so the sellers, do now,have to write a listing as tho a muppet could understand it. ie

for sale, DVD, in its plastic square casing,with paper insert with colourful ink on it, contains a shiny silver disc that goes in a machine.
MACHINE NOT INCLUDED NOR TV TO WATCH IT ON NOR STAND FOR THE TV NOR LOUNGE FOR STAND TO GO IN.NONE OF ABOVE INCLUDED.GEDDIT?

Ooooer, calm down, maybe if you spent a bit more time reading wheresmydoshat's post rather than trying to come up with your own sarcastic posts you'd have seen he admitted sending the buyer a sarcastic email.

Anyway haven't you got some more tatty rings to sell on ebay ? Don't forget to lose your glasses again when writing the descriptions either

no sorry i was only given that one to sell by friend who found it squashed! she got over 40 quid tho!!!and yes i did read what they said,very polite slightly sarcastic dont see what is wrong with that as a reply,considering the buyer didnt read a simple description!

"he admitted sending the buyer a sarcastic email."

slightly, i said slighty...

which to me means pointing them in the direction of the description they obviously failed to read ! i don't feel it would be possible to point this out to them without it sounding slightly sarcastic !
