jaisonline Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I listed a sealed 30th Gold C3P0 and some person kept emailing and asking how he can find one in a sealed boxed set. Needless to say, he never placed a Buy It Now offer after I asked if he was interested. Then I finally received a decent offer that I accepted. The UK buyer never paid after asking me twice if shipping will require a signature. I won an open UCS Vader Tie Defender and the seller doesn't want to claim my payment via PayPal. Although feedback was low, his email is legit. I just sent him one. My son wanted a Batman 1 Batmobile so I won one, Auction stated complete except for the road block. 16 minor elements ended up missing from both vehicles and seller shipped the set in the original lego box (wasn't listed in the auction) w/ supermarket brown paper around it. Never the less, the box was a pleasant surprise. Feel free to also post any eBay feedback horror stories. Quote
chinothegeeko Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Haha Mine normally come in droves like that too. Hopefully it ends soon for you. Summer and x-mas buyers always cause problems 1 Quote
justafrog Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I have the same kinds of "cluster" (apply favorite f word after that if so inclined... ) experiences on eBay at times. It's a funny old universe, but somehow all the weirdos know when to appear at the same time... Quote
jaisonline Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Here goes another one. I'm selling a barely used Playskool Sesame St playset with 13 figures. My auction contain mutiple pics with all 13 shown. Now I have 2 diff people asking if I would sell Cookie Monster by himself. GOOD GRIEF. Quote
Anakinisvader Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 All of my listings require immediate payment now. I got so tired of trying to collect on people who purchase your item and don't pay. This helps sift out the riff raff and get you to serious buyers. Unfortunately in only works on BIN listings and not auctions. Now I don't list auctions. 2 Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I have been looking for a place to post this lately and looks like I can do it here...........It absolutely makes my blood boil when someone doesn't leave feedback. I would have at least 50 more feedbacks if everyone left feedback like they were supposed to do. In my mind its part of the purchase agreement!! DAMN YOU LAZY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! 4 Quote

dnb_boy_3 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I recently bought a complete set of Series 6 Minifigs on eBay for their original MSRP (collectively). I waited 3 weeks and received an entire box worth of sealed Series 6. 60 of them I believe 1 Quote
stackables Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I had a mess of a problem with a killer croc I won. Kid couldn't get his email right or something on paypal so my payment went unclaimed. Finally after a week we were able to complete the transaction. Ended up paying $8.30 for a mint Killer Croc 1 Quote
Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I usually don't leave feedback because I have so many other tedious tasks to do. I don't need to add leaving feedback to the list. 2 Quote

jaisonline Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 not leaving feedback is terrible. now lets move on. it is common courtesy 5 Quote
meowingthings Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 His email might be good, however he probably put a different email address in the eBay listing under the PayPal portion. Generally if they have to claim a payment something is wrong. I have sold 5k plus items on eBay and only once did I ever have to claim a payment (the one time I screwed up the email address). Quote
Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I make multiple purchases per day, which means I'd have to leave feedback on multiple items per day on different sites. I sell full-time and already spend over 40 hours per week doing so. I'm not going to waste even one second of my precious time on a daily monotonous task like that. I'll leave leaving feedback to the average buyer who makes only one or two purchases per week. 4 Quote

Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 It's not really about being selfish. I just have to allot time as efficiently as I can. Imagine you are at your desk job or whatever, and you are supposed to get off at 5 p.m., but now you have to do some monotonous task for 10 minutes every single day before you can go home. By the way, if I make a consumer purchase, then, yeah, I'll probably leave feedback. But for business purchases, no. 1 Quote

Doesn't sound like that big of deal. It should be considered as an element of your job, especially since an auction site is the medium of choice you chose to do business in. 3 Quote
