Buyers From Hell

[quinnsryche]

I had the EXACT same experience. I imagine driving it directly to their house wouldn't be fast enough for these clowns! I wonder where else in their miserable little lives do they get taken care of as fast as they have come to expect?

I just had a seller send a "special courier" to my house with cards! I bet it was the seller but he denied it, I thought that was nice! I now have a buyer who four times in the past six months has left negatives claiming a card was damages in shipping. My Suspicions re that he just starts this on every seller to see if he can keep the card for free. also, he states the card didnt have enough protection since I didnt even put it in a top loader? It was in a card saver 2 with 2 pieces of cardboard. Now it has been 6 emails back and forth and i'd rather take a negative than give into his games, best part card was 2.64$ free shipping

As a Canadian seller, most of my baseball card sales are made to American buyers. I let a certain American buyer know that it would take 2-3 weeks to receive his card. He emailed me 4 days after he paid for it saying he was very upset he hadn't received his card yet. I told him again that international deliveries take a little longer. He received his card in under 2 weeks (very, very fast IMO). But still slammed me. Left me positive feedback, but stated he was very upset it took so long to get delivered. What an idiot!

I still remember with fondness a post about a year or so ago on the board from a buyer about a T card that was received from an eBay seller. During transit, the card (I think the purchase price was in the $50-$75 neighborhood) slipped out of its toploader and suffered a crease or dinged corner (something to that effect).

After being notified about what happened, the seller agreed to issue a refund. The buyer, however, didn't think that was enough and specifically was unhappy that the seller didn't seem apologetic about the substandard packaging of the card. (The seller, during the course of trading e-mails on the matter, mentioned something about this being the first time he'd ever had a problem with a shipped card.)

So the question that was posted was did the seller's perceived lack of remorse deserve the receiving of negative feedback.

I think eBay breeds headcases

Just a thought here, as I have been on both sides of the coin---

Be cautious in judging others based on one side of the story. Often we are too quick to judge someone as a "scumbag" with only one side of the story just to find out the other side embelished the story to gather favor.

I think it's a shame when an individual gets accused for these acts when in fact they are innoncent.

There is some scientific theory that explains it, I am sure, but there is a direct correlation between the amount of the sale and the amount of headache. The smaller the amount the more the headache. It's weird but true!!
