I think I'm going to stop selling cels on
Ebay... :P
All the way back in January, I sold a YAT
anime cel and douga. After weeks of sending
emails to the buyer gently reminding them they
had won my auction, I never heard back from
them. I checked their ebay feedback and with
less than 50 feedbacks, at least 13 were negative-
along the lines of "deadbeat" bidder :P
I finally had to fill out a report at
Ebay, and after 2 months of waiting, a paypal
payment for the cel finally popped up in my
account. 2 days after this payment, I FINALLY
received an email from the bidder, but they were
raving that they hadn't received the cel yet,
where is it, I want a refund, blah blah, and how
they had been trying to contact me for months. I
wrote back letting them know that- hello, they
JUST paid for it. Give the cel a few days to
arrive. Plus, I waited TWO MONTHS for payment,
they can wait a lousy few days for the cel to be
mailed out and received. Plus, as far as "trying
to contact me for months", I had been sending
them emails like no tomorrow and my records
showed all emails went thru- all they would have
had to done was hit the "reply" button. And even
if they had magically "lost" my email address
from auction close, it doesn't take 2 months to
look up my ID with Ebay and get the email address
from there. Plus, I always offer a back-up mail
address for ebay auction related things.
Sorry- just ranting -_- I have homework to do
but I'm procrastinating- so anyone else have any
ebay cel-related horror stories? |
