Just wanting to vent!!!

AlwaysWorking

Hi! Sorry, I just need to vent a bit as I'm so annoyed! :mad: I sold a voucher last Friday on ebay. I wasn't looking to make a profit (sold it for 1p!), I just wanted someone else to be able to take advantage of the voucher as I couldn't. It has to be used by 18th so I was ready to post it first class as soon as I received payment.

I emailed the buyer yesterday morning and just received a resonse: 'Hi there, really sorry I wont be able to use it by the 18th! So its not worth you posting it. Hope you sell it on quickly to someone else.'

Grrrr!!! She has a feedback of 25 and has sold items (has quite a few on at the minute) so she SHOULD know how ebay works. I'm not annoyed about the money (as there is none! :rotfl:), I'm just annoyed that someone could bid for a voucher with a use by date and then not let me know until 5 days later that she doesn't want it.

Report her and get her a non paid strike. Hopefully she will think about it next time.

And leave a neg this time....

But I can't leave a neg, can I?

Weird that she has sold a number of things but thinks it's ok to just decide 5 days after an auction closes that she doesn't want the item. I doubt she would be so relaxed with HER buyers....

No you can't. If you leave a postive with a negative remark it will be pulled. If you buy something from her to leave a negative that will also get you in trouble. The nonpaid strike is all you can do but if she gets enough of them it can cause her problems.
I would also block her just in case she decides to buy from you again.

Oooh, I need to vent too.

Sold something over the weekend. Sent tracking number to buyer's paypal email address on Monday.

Get a stroppy email last night at 9.30pm and again this morning at 11am saying he hasn't heard from me.

Sorry for not being glued to the internet!!!! And I sent a message on Monday.

Was equally blunt in my response and not really bothered if he marks down the DSRs as it's personal account and rarely sell. But certainly rude! Why do people think they can behave like this for no reason. grrrrr
