Item sold for too much

Dillence

Well thanks for your comments everyone.

Looks like my worries were unfounded as I just recieved positive feedback!:T

booter

I'm glad it turned out OK for you Dillence!

I get this quite a lot - my OH calls it my "EPS" - Ebay Paranoia Syndrome. I try and describe things as accurately as possible, sometimes struggling for the correct terminology (my brain keeps wanting to put stuff like "the thingy with the doodad has a dangly bit" - I then have to translate that into English for the listing which I find quite difficult at times ) Then when the bids keep going up and up, I repeatedly check the item for any faults/holes/bits hanging off it (in addition to the dangly bits already mentioned) and looking at the item as if it's something from another planet . I've even, only once mindyou, (when a really ordinary pair of quite well worn shoes were up to £15) asked the shoes "why are you getting bids so high?" How sad is that?:rotfl:
Anyway, (sorry, rambling)... usually I'm amazed that things fetch the price they do, and I've always had glowing feedback..... until today. And the item that I was surprised sold for so much has now magically transformed into an item "not as described" (it was as described, but obviously the buyer has decided they got a bit carried away and can't/won't admit it:cool:). So, I've offered a refund if they return it, and here's hoping I can just cancel the transaction and they won't slam my feedback/ratings......*sigh* yeah, right.
And then, when I relist, I'll feel obliged to make the description even more detailed, and still the EPS will kick in (or, on the flip side, there won't be any watchers or bidders cos no-one will be ar*ed to read through the 1000 word description:cool:)
Oh dear, maybe I'm not cut out for e-bay selling :rotfl:

Apologies for the long post - didn't realise I'd be venting!
