Me too.

Another I hate, is ending a message with "x"

Somebody once left three kisses like that on my feedback. Positive feedback is always welcome, but I thought that was slightly bizarre. Unless it's normal for people who do that kind of thing to give shopkeepers or checkout operators kisses wherever they buy anything in the 'real' world too

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with that? I can't spot anything wrong.

Message from buyer: 'Stil not recieved today hun'

Message from same buyer yesterday: 'Hi i did not recieve my item today ? Im having same problem with another item i am spose to of recieved... Nothing at sorring office wil give them a call again 1st thing tomorow after postman has been... Thankyou'

This is about an item posted last Friday 2nd class.

If the buyer is saying they phone their sorting office, I don't think that is possible. They have to go there in person.


In my long gone professional days of selling on eBay, I would have overlooked hun. Anything to keep the magical 100%.
In questions, I would adapt my reply to how they spoke to me. Hun or duck, I'd be the same.
In RL or on forums it's horrible.


The worst put down expression of one word for me appears further down this thread. Sorry Mimi, but it is "Bless"
I don't know whether it is used by people as a habit, or whether they do realise that they are saying the person is too thick to comprehend, but that's what it means.


Maybe to get the angst out, celestius could use it.
"Oh Hun, you phoned them again but no luck, Oh Bless"


Just to ask celestius, when an item goes missing, do you tell your buyer to check at their PSO?


I have a seller at Amazon asking me to do just that. I ordered seven items on the same day. Five came together, then one from USA. The seventh £23 not delivered.
In all the years I've ordered over the net, whether eBay, Amazon or any other supplier, this is the first non delivery and I feel I'm being suspected. It is a bottle of Iodine by the way, not something I'd want two of.
I don't want to drive a long round trip to the SO, nowhere to park and be told "without a leaving it card, we can't search."


Having said that. When I was trading, my most expensive item was £35, sent not signed for. (£50 now) Apart from one small item, the only things ever missing were? Yep of course, but as soon as I sent them to be signed for, none ever went missing again.


I think then send everything to be signed for. Sorted my little thieves out.

I had someone message me, addressing me as "dear sir / madam", there was a chain of correspondence after each one, I signed off, "thanks, Charlotte", but they addressed every message with "dear sir / madam", how bizarre. Or maybe the buyer was just a bit simple?

And judging by the buyers name they were definitely not foreign.

You can actually phone your local office.. i do this as I don't drive, wheelchairs, taxis and faff to get into town.

One buyer insisted i phoned and told him the persons name, address and phone number of office as proof i'd checked before refunding.. so I did and since then if something has gone missing and there is no card I give them a ring.

The chap here is lovely and polite and checks the shelves/logs once at Christmas he said posties bag was really heavy and the van is busy but it's on it's way .. another time they had no record of it.

But anyway just to confirm you can phone them up to save a trip.

Hope you don't mind me tagging onto your thread celestius, but I made reference to my present problem further up.




The package that went missing from a seller from Amazon has now been returned to them by RM. The seller is now asking me for more postage to resend the item to me.






My jaw is on the floor, as I recall the lengths I went to keep buyers happy at Ebay.
No way will I pay any extra and for the first time over many years and hundreds of deliveries, I will write a review. Always sent feedback, but this cheeky beggar deserves a review.


Thanks Cyclamen for the contact tips. Very useful, as the SO is a long trip and no parking, so thanks for that.
Apologies for the spacing, keyboard has gone on strike.

Maybe you should have put on the ebay advert. "we will not sell to chavs or riff raff"
