bigbadbiddy | 10-20-2009 12:02 PM | Buyer Harrassing and Reporting to Ebay I write ebooks that i sell on ebay. They usually only sell for aroun $2-3 per book and I offer them to be sent via email or if they prefer a cd with the ebook on it I charge $3 for the shipping. So, naturally all of my listings say free shipping. The person bought an ebook from me and paid $1.25 . I emailed the book within the hour and even left feedback. About a month later i get an email from the person saying that it has been plenty of time and they want their book. I replied and told them that I apologize and that I emailed it to them but i would email it again.
After emailing it to the person again the person replied saying that no where in my listing did it say it was an ebook (It did about 20 times plus it said it was a .pdf file). They said that I am going to ship them the real book and they arent paying for shipping or they are reporting me to ebay. So, I emailed them back and said that I would refund them since they thought it was a real physical book and it was only $1.25 .
I refunded the person and then they emailed me again and here is what they said : "So....you are emailing a person a copyrighted item??? Something I can download & print out myself??? A copyrighted item??? That's called illegal!!!!!!!!!!! I am reporting all of your items to ebay!!!!!! I am calling ebay and the police!!!!!!!!!"
Now, here is the thing. This is my only source of income now since I lost my job so i depend on selling these books. They are all written by me! They aren't copyrighted by anyone but me! Well, i didnt think much of it I even got the buyer to agree to close the sale and I got back my FVF. Well, guess what happened today. All 55 of my listings were pulled off ebay but I decided to relist them and so far they are still going as normal. The person also hasnt left any feedback yet. Should I be worried of getting my account cancelled because this person thinks that im doing something illegal? How do i keep this person from emailing me on ebay because they wont stop? Even though I refunded them and closed the sale completely they are still demanding that i send them the physical book for free and now they want the .53 paypal fee that was charged to them. You see when I refunded them paypal took .53 cents in their fees and this person doesnt understand that. What should I do? |
