Ebay idiot
I have been trying to plow through my “sell on Ebay” pile for a few weeks. I actually managed to sell one of the beanie baby things we have. I have tried to sell these before with no success. Noone wants em anymore. Well the good news was I sold one, it was one that McD’s sold a few years back, the bad news is it sold for 1 dollar. Big woop. After shipping I make less than a dollar on the deal. Eh, one less “thing” I suppose. I packed it up in a padded envelope and shipped it out promptly the day after the auction closed.
Well I was checking out my feedback rating today and I see one of my recent feedback’s was neutral instead of positive. WTF, I have a sterling ebay feedback rating so seeing this really annoyed me. What annoyed me more is it was from the f’in guy that won the 1 dollar Beanie Baby. Evidently it was damaged during shipping and instead of telling me, he just leaves me a nuetral feedback. What a f’in idiot. If I knew there was a problem I would have just refunded his stinking dollar. So I called him out on it. I sent him a message saying it was very uncourteous to leave a non-positive feedback without giving the seller a chance to address any problems he has. His reply follows:
“As a professional business man, I approach each transaction with proper effort and diligence to ensure my customer’s experience is a positive one. The fact that you merely stuck a collectible item into a bubble envelope tells me that customer satisfaction is not important to you. As opposed to conducting your business dealings in a professional manner, you would rather play games with feedback commentary. If you want to modify the rating that you gave me on the transaction, that is your perogative. You do what you can live with. In the end, you and I both know that the manner by which you shipped the product was unprofessional and not deserving of positive feedback. Perhaps you should take the time to do things correctly in the future instead of complaining when someone calls you on it.”
Keep in mind again, one dollar item here. So of course his arrogance infuriated me and I replied back to the pompous ass with this:
Good luck with your future ebay transactions bud. Anyone who takes such a posistion on a 1 dollar item and then does not allow for the seller to address any issues will be nothing but trouble. Please never contact me again. Your reputation will quickly grow.
I would have liked to be far more viscious but in the big picture it would only hurt me by doing so since these messages went through the official ebay message system, with no real benefit. This tard only had a 19 feedback rating and looking through them I saw other examples of him leaving bad feedback without allowing for resolution. I hate dealing with noobs…..
