annoying ebay peopl

ok im going to have a rant about people on ebay cus im sick of them! ive sodl recently a few things two of which were a phone and i ipod, in the case of the phone ebay was not listing the buyers address so i emailed them to request it and it took them a week to reply. in the case of the ipod it took over 2 weeks 4 the cheque to arrive, so long infact i contacted them at least 5 times and eventually they paid by paypal and i had to rip up the cheque. so ok it has taken a while not always anyones fault so ill post the items asap. in each case contacted them to say item would be posted asap but i work and so will have to get to post office when i can. almost straight away i start getting emails asking where their items are>?! no ive just waiting 2 weeks in one case for payment so a little patciences wouldnt go a miss! but no shi*y emails straight away saying will be contacting paypal etc i mean what do these people want from me odviously i will send the items but if things get delayed the get delayed! so from now on if a item is late dont hastle the seller all the time even though they are in contact with you, oh also contact them on the email address they request u to instead of sending emails to one they dont check very often even though explicetly told not to send them there then complain when you dont get a reply. its about give and take on ebay people are in such a frezzi that they are about to get ripped off all they end up doin is pis*ing the seller off! arrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhh! :mad: lol

    Um sorry, but if you email the buyers in the same manner as your post above you may well have confused them.

    One thing though, don't be alarmed by a threat of them contacting paypal as they can't start any dispute until 7 days after payment, and I assume you shipped well within that time frame? One other thing, if you don't want to wait for slow payers, just start the NPB on them on day 7 as that often concentrates the mind!

    Yes, very hard to read.

    Have you sent the items yet? Make sure you only send to the address listed with paypal and double check with https://www.192.com (Is that right soo?) to make sure the person is at that address. Make sure you send it recorded if it is less than £32 and special delivery if it is more than £32 even if they have only paid for 1st or second class delivery. It sounds like they might give you trouble.

    it can get very annoying.
    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.

    In Britain you are a subject not a citizen, a servent of the crown, Britain as a republic!!!!
    Being a citizen and being a subject are not mutually exclusive.

    We are no more "subject" to our government than people in countries with no monarch.

    the statement is meant to put the point across that you are still at the mercy of the crown, i know you can be both we are however we are subjects and so not free citizens

    As the op seemed to just want to vent his spleen and wasn't specifically requesting any advice I think this thread has served its purpose.

    A number of posts have been removed from this thread as they were insulting and abusive towards other posters. Please remember to be nice to other moneysavers. :)
