Are People For Real

Some people really do make me laugh,

I have just come out of hospital with kidney stones and all the people that i did not send out there item to ontime were fine about it and there was no problem at all, (as i was a while away)

But there is always one, but ther emaking me laugh saying they have contacted the police and what makes me laugh is they sell copies of stuff, are they for real,

  • I hope you're feeling better now...

    On Ebay...to find someone like that is not surprising at all...i've come across my fair share...of people who are pretty much like that...

    No consideration whatsoever...
  • Much better thank you, what makes me laugh even more is the item will be sent tomorrow, and please what would the police do for a few quid i would laugh at them if they knocked on my door

    They say it takes allsorts to make a world, and I think E-bay has a fair few strange people. Offer to send them your stones as proof!

    Ouch .. I had them last year. Not pleasant. Fortunately I wasn't in the middle of an eBay selling cycle at the time. Thoroughly scared my new flatmate by rolling around in agony one fine Sunday morning, and having to get her to drive me to hospital!!

    to be fair, there are lots of excuses used on ebay for not sending stuff, one buyer told me payment wasn't made coz her kids dad had died, so i ended the non-payer dispute and left good feedback, believing that payment was on its way, then the bi**h left me a neg with no payment! the death didn't stop her buying concert tickets from someone else the following week either!!
    so if this buyer had already had a few problems you were probably the last straw for them.
    sorry to be a little negative but it does happen.
    hope your feeling better now anyway.
  • No i totally understand what you are saying, I have totally give up with the buyer now anyway, they have paid for the item and the emails im getting are making me think im not going to send them the item now, just to !!!! them off, because i am really intrested to see what the police would do,

    I prob just eventually send ther money back to them as there are not regiersterd no more but have like 5 accounts so they say,


    They are painfull still got a stone left, which hurts now and again, but doctors say it should pass, if not they will take it out next week, grrrrrr

    if they aren't registered anymore then make them wait a week or two and then refund them, they cannot neg you, so it should give you a little bit of pleasure to have them doing their own head in wondering where their item is and knowing that they can't complain to ebay about you!!

    Actually I think you are being a little unfair to your buyer, although you know that you arent lying, some sellers will give out any old tripe about why they havent posted items.

    I had one woman claim her son was sick in hospital, when i went through her feedback buyers that had purchased AFTER me had received their items, i didnt drop a hissy and call her a liar but i made it clear i wasnt buying the excuse.

    Messing someone about it get revenge just doesnt seem right. IMHO

    Becareful they could be suspended and you'd end up with a neg when they are reinstated.
