Recent Ebay experience question

[ALR-bishop]

I have never sold anything on ebay. I have a feedback rating of over 1600 transactions, all as a buyer. I guess I should feel fortunate that my experiences with sellers have not been as bad as Darren's.. Particularly since ebay changed their rules to put buyers in the virtual driver's seat, the vast majority of sellers I have dealt with have been honorable and fair people. On pre war here and on CU, most threads I see about ebay deal with horror stories about buyers.

This is not intended as any comment on the issue Chris has raised here

I apologize for sounding so angry, but it happens so often that it's driving me bananas!! And the apologists who come on to paint ebay as all rainbows and unicorns are ridiculous. I can only assume that the people posting such nonsense are ebay sellers, who only want to protect their own. Sorta like political operatives spinning their BS.

Since no one here knows the seller's motives, we are all just speculating on what he did or didn't do. But I can tell you without question that my version of events is far closer to reality than those that claim he did nothing wrong.

Thanks for everyone's opinions good and bad.

The story has a happy ending. The seller claims he didn't notice it but offered a refund of $7.50. I am fine with that.

I am sorry this thread went downhill. Net 54 is a fun place for me, an escape from the negativity of life.

My original intent was just to get opinions on the card and price and if people thought I should return it. I have about 2000 transactions on ebay with most of them as a card buyer the last 12 years. To my knowledge I have only returned a card once so I honestly was looking for feedback.

Happy Collecting!
Chris

I'm not trying to stir the pot here, but I don't see it as so hard to believe the seller may have missed the marks in this case. After all, the buyer missed them too. And the seller isn't a total douchebag if he offered a refund of $7.50 due to the marks when he found out about them. If all parties are happy now, then no big deal anymore.
