eBay Vent with a Buyer

[Snapolit1]

I've sold both vintage and modern on eBay in the last few years and here how "problem" buyers have broken down.

Vintage sales - O% of problems
Modern sales - 100% of problems

Idiots tell me that the card doesn't look quite as good in person as my photos and I'd like a partial refund. Screw you.

Had some jerk respond with a long diatribe about the $6.99 football card I sold him was packaged but here are 6 or 7 additional steps I should take in the future. Yeah, screw you too.

Seems like the annoying scammers are largely young guys.

This kind of thing is why I largely avoid selling on ebay anymore. For some time now their policies have been setup to largely favor the buyer and their position, no matter how ridiculous some of the claims can be.

Seems like I might have dealt with the same buyer that you dealt with. He sent me about 6 emails telling me how I should have protected every card in the lot of 16 that he won. Cost about $2.99. He was telling me to use a certain thickness card sleeve and each card should have been placed in a top loader. He went on and on. Even left me negative feedback (which eBay removed). I took a look at the other feedbacks that he left for other Sellers and there was one negative after another about their packing methods. Guy was a total tool.

I have very few problems with buyers since I don't really sell much. Recently I sold a few books and the buyer was unhappy with the condition. I offered a return but he demanded a refund but refused to return the books, "why should I have to re-box and waste gas going to the Post Office?"

He left me negative feedback, which Ebay removed. He was a member since 1998, 100% feedback and never left negative feedback for anyone, as far as I can tell. Oh well.

Sometimes it’s worth a little extra investment for piece of mind.
