Fed up of Ebay Buyers

A silly woman got a brand new £60 jacket for £16

She is complaining that it has a loose gold thread.

It was folded in tissue paper and carefully packaged

She is complaining that it arrived wrinkled and that I should have packaged it so that the RM couldn't crease it :confused:

She is complaining that she paid too much for it at £16

What do these people want - blood?

    Yes.

    But at least when ebay improves its site to allow buyers to neg sellers without fear of retaliation, small minded and petty buyers will be able to ruin sellers reputations over trivial matters...

  • The jacket wasn't creased when it was packaged for posting.

    RM took three days to deliver a first class recorded delivery parcel.

    The only way to get anything uncreased or with fold lines is to deliver it by hand on a hanger!

    Some people like to whine, there's no pleasing them.

    Sadly so many of the above type of people are also ebay buyers....

    I think you should be ashamed of yourself!!

    You mean you didn't turn up with a steam presser and personally iron out the creases?

    Tell her to go shop in Harrods next time.

    I think that the likelihood is that she doesn't like the jacket or it doesn't fit her so they start and make up any excuse possible to get a refund.

    No we know you can't tell us who the buyer is, but maybe you could put a link and ask us if we think she got a good deal ;)

    Now I KNOW that the Buyer got a fabulous deal!

    I bought the jacket and never wore it - then losing over 9 stones in weight and several dress sizes it was too big for me.

    The Buyer now wants a £10 refund since the jacket needs ironing!!

    She wants to keep the jacket!

    I've never understood why people with "mint condition requirements" shop on ebay :confused:
