    I sent an email to the seller welcoming her to eBay selling (the account is new this month...), pointing out the 7 day payment and politely pointing out that the HUGE postage discount warning in their auctions might be off-putting to some buyers. I got this response:
    firstly i am not new to ebay and if i insist payment be made withing 3 days that is my choice and i think you will need to read it again your self and i think you will find that it states a buyer has seven days before the seller can open an unpaid item distpute and it is my policy that payment must be recieved withing 3 days not 7 which i think you will find i have the choice to do secondly i dont give a postage discount its as simple as that i dont need to my items are cheaper than any ones i sell what people whant and some items what other sellers dont have i also supply most of the ebay sellers SO I CAN CONTROL WHAT THEY BUY AND SELL OF THESE ITEMS if you would like there ebay id names you are welcome to check for yourself so thank you so much for your message BUT I DO KNOW THE RULES i think you may need to read them again and i think you will find i can report you for sending malicius messages thank you richard also known as RICH01CARS
    Did I deserve that?! I was very very polite and gentle!!! =oS
    :rotfl: I think I'd send him an e-gift: a comma, with instructions on how to use it.

    How the hell is listing what's in the product breaching copyright? if anyone knows please enlighten me

    Think this seller is best being avoided as they seem more trouble than they are worth

    hehe

    what a mad seller

    if i was going to send 2 items out to the same buyer i would put them in the same envelope/package and pay postage just the once and make it alot easier for myself! and £2 p and p for 1 eyebrow pencil and a small envelope is crazy!

    it makes me laugh because she probably thinks she knows what she is doing but doesnt!!!

    i think we should keep sending her the messages about combining postage (be nice of course) LOL

    Pretty sure this is the same seller who sent me a complete list of her auctions some time ago asking me to buy from her after I was outbid on another seller's auction.

    Also. did I have any tips for successful selling.

    She was selling multiple items in one listing, but the descriptions all ran into one another making it almost impossible to actually see what was included in sale.
  • Here is another one.
    I do not offer a postage discount for multiple items unless stated.
