eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 08-05-2012 To think that some people are let loose in public sometimes is frightening. People this thick should be limited to padded cells, in secure hospitals, on remote islands, somewhere far away. Brief - Bloke wins 4 different auctions on eBay on Saturday night, totalling £29.77 + £8.00 postage (£2.00 per item) Bloke emails me asking for combined postage I offer £3.50 postage now signed-for recorded delivery Bloke goes to eBay checkout Selects "Collection in Person" (incurring a 270 mile-round trip) I invoice via PayPal £5.00 postage costs for the items. The response? Quote:Why have I got another invoice for £5 when I've payed the full amount of £29.77 inc P&P. And my response... Quote:Hi ******, I'm happy just to refund the bloke the £30 for the items if things escalate. eBay idiots... - Matt - 08-05-2012 The guys from Poole? That's only down the road from me, name and shame so I can go to his house a personally tell him he's a complete tit! Hahaha Re: eBay idiots... - Eeyore - 08-05-2012 seems to be a lot of dicks on ebay atm! Re: eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 08-05-2012 Hasn't paid the invoice and hasn't replied to my email yet either. I know he was online as he last responded just before I replied to him. Tempted just to tell him the address he can collect from. Maybe I'll be in when he turns up. Maybe I won't... Re: eBay idiots... - Dan! - 08-05-2012 I never understand how people like this can earn themselves a living and do general day to day type jobs seriously injuring themselves. Re: eBay idiots... - spike2002 - 08-05-2012 Refund the idiot and relist the stuff people like this should be shot. if you are not happy paying the full postage of £2 per item he shouldnt of bid in the first place. you didnt have to reduce the postage for him what a idiot.... Re: eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 08-05-2012 I got replied to!! Quote:Hi just to try and clear this mistake up the invoice I paid ie £29.77 had £8 of p&p on it £2 for each item ? Na-ah, I'll put this as simply as I possibly can... Quote:Hi there, Re: eBay idiots... - Ruan - 08-05-2012 What a complete monger. Re: eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 08-05-2012 Has anyone got an Abacus we can send him with his parcel? Just for Troll lolols? Re: eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 08-05-2012 Boring! He paid my £5.00 postage invoice. Re: eBay idiots... - Craig-o - 08-05-2012 What annoys me about Ebay is that as a seller you can't leave negative or neutral feedback, but it's so so easy for them to....plus I find it so annoying when you sell things, dispatch next day, do everything right and then don't recieve feedback at all....I'm on 64* with 100% positive so far but have probably sold close to 100 item....grrr Re: eBay idiots... - pugbug - 08-05-2012 Fortunately I've not to deal with anyone like this, I make my multibuy policy very clear and auctions pretty fool proof. Re: eBay idiots... - sweeney1987 - 09-05-2012 to be honest i never even bother trying to see on ebay anymore, always deal with idiots and then ebay rapes you for fees. think last time i sold something i got £150 for item at auction, by time ebay n paypal(same thing but both need a cut seemingly) took their respective fees i got £100 out of it!! would of been better off keeping it to be honest Re: eBay idiots... - Ed Doe - 09-05-2012 ^^ Echoing what Sweeney said, it's daylight robbery imo. I have stuff I wanna sell (which tbh I will probably just bung up after getting bored of trying to sell it elsewhere) but I just can't bring myself to effectively sell at a loss to cover the fees etc, or price the items way above what they're worth. Re: eBay idiots... - C.A.R. - 09-05-2012 Yea in hindsight the fees are ridiculous. I sold £760-worth of stuff and have just been invoiced for a fraction over 10% of that - £80. So expensive to use their services nowadays. PayPal is part of the eBay group too, which really pisses me off, since you pay eBay fees and then you pay PayPal fees on top?! Thieving scum, but what can you do... |
