ebay Giggle

[bigj2552]

Ebay is getting a very stressful and corupt place to sell nowadays.
EVERYTHING is geared towards the buyer - no matter if seller is in the right, ebay rules in favor of the buyer 99% of the time.
I really feel for those sellers who are selling high end, expensive products.
Go onto there forums some time and you will see the problems some are facing.....couple that with the stupid DSR system, good, and some rather large, long time sellers are getting the boot from ebay because of these idiotic feedback systems....some are saying that they fear opening up there ebay emails in the morning in case there are trashed dsr's or a neg.

ebay has now become a scammers paradise with the new MONEY BACK GUARANTEE no matter what plastered everywhere, and the scammers are catching on to this quick...and ebay do bugger all to protect the seller....in ebay words - "thats the buyer opinion" and we cant change it....utter shocking

It's NOT a fair system.

Hi All

i sold some photographic kit on flea bay several couple of years ago. The buyer paid a very reasonable price for the goods, much cheaper than via a secondhand dealer and in really good condition. I charged P&P at cost - don't do that anymore!

Two weeks came and went and got a message to say that goods had not arrived at his place in the Lake District. Chased up couriers they said it had been deliverd to the address on the label. He said it hadn't. This went on for another week or so and he was getting decidedly snotty and bad mouthing me in a photographic forum. I can't remember for sure how I found out but I think I had written in an email that the package had categorically been delivered to - 10 Braindead Street, Keswick. To which he replied indignantly that he didn't live there. He then went on to ask why i had delivered it there. It turned out in subsequent emails that he had moved to the other side of Keswick and hadn't lived in Braindead Street for months!

Pillock hadn't updated his Ebay details. He was still using his old address. He then asked me for the cost of a taxi to go and get the package - about 30kg and 4 foot tall as he had no transport and I had delivered it to the wrong address! I didn't pay for the taxi and he didn't leave any feedback - which suited me just fine in the end. No idea why the new occupant hadn't contacted him to say that parcels were being delivered.

When he said "I'M NOT HAPPY" you should have said "well which of the seven dwarfs are you then"

Hahah. Some people just think they can get everything for free. But I agree with all of you, the eBay system is awful for sellers... Imagine if you'd be selling very expensive products and then getting a PP claim...
