…things from auction sellers anymore. I just got in a slight disagreement with a seller. Actually it was the seller that made a mountain out of a mole hill. She was trying to overcharge me with shipping when she has a shipping rate quoted on the auction! I was bidding on three of her pieces and asked if I could combine shipping and she agreed. Today it was a different story. The things I won were small and probably didn’t weigh a pound. I thought even $5.50 or our agreed upon price of $6.50 was high for the two items I won. I think because she made these things, she wanted a lot more for them and got seller’s remorse. I can’t stand when people make me the bad guy. Do you think it’s wrong that I said I had 7 years experience on this auction site and that I know roughly how much things cost to mail? Anyway, she opened a dispute that I didn’t agree upon and I said so. Plus I sent about three messages to customer support where we agreed upon a shipping cost.
Don’t be fooled by positive feedback. It’s not always want it seems.
~Update~I guess the auction site must have told the seller to complete the transaction or have a mark against her. I got another email, though a form one. I hope she follows through.
Ever get the chills and/or restless legs during the night? I had them and still feel kinda weird. This must be hormonal as I go through something strange at least ‘once a month’. I know I need to get out of the house. Maybe Sean can take me for a drive up to the post office as I surely can’t walk around the yard.
I just read that the additive MSG can give me the above symptoms! The beef stew we had for dinner was a mix and probably had it in the gravy and I just read that the Chex mix had it which I ate an hour before I went to bed. Watch that stuff!
Sorry, Dianne. I’ve also been “bitten” by shipping costs. Usually if they agree to something in writing (i.e. email) they will be forced to stick to it, but it sucks if you have to open a dispute. Really negative feelings. Yuck. I hope it’s behind you soon!
I hear you Dianne! I have had that problem! A lot of people won’t leave neutral or negative feedback for fear of getting the same back, even if the seller is wrong!
Oh boy, I hear you on the shipping charges some of these sellers ask for! I was buying tons of celebrity autographed photos from various sellers. This one guy was starting off the bids at 99 cents…I was the only one who bid so I got 10 of his pictures for $9.99 which of course I was thrilled with. Then…he sends me an email saying it would cost $32.99 in shipping!! I told him there was no way shipping should be that high and the only reason he was charging me that was because he was losing out on the pictures having gone for just .99 each. I told him that he shouldn’t have started the bid so low then! Well, he put 10 negatives on my feedback and told everyone to “beware” of me, that I was a “crazy lady”…let me tell you I was shocked! Well I ended up paying that amount but believe me, I will never get caught like that again!! Hugs xoxo
