OK, I admit it...sheesh
Serious, I'm going to order some poop off that site and send it to them.
Then I;m going to send some poop to this one jerk Boss I used to work for.

Oh, How about we all send some to the Exec's at eBay and PayPal. woohoo!

What a brilliant idea! send some to that Bill Cobb whatever:D

Do what i did.

Call his bluff. This happened to me once and i wrote a very professional sounding email. In It, I stated I had contacted the local police and that they had said they had enough evidence arrest him for fraud. I proceeded to inform the buyer that if he did not drop the paypal case withing 24hours I would proceed with having him arrested :D

I showed him the proof of delivery, and his signature (he had signed for the package 4 hours earlier!!).

3 hours later, he ended the paypal case and i recieved a written apology consisting of some bullsh1t story,with all the funds secured and transferred to my bank account!

Uhmmmmm

EBHL sends a piece of candy in her packages. Now I am thinking....

Candy, wrappers, ex lax and some dog poo, the last buyer who just left me 5 negs is going to get herself some candy.

I wonder if that Company packages the doo doo in zip loc baggies so it doesn't stink up the place during transit.

I mean if someone tried delivering a smelly doo doo package to me I would just refuse it.
I'm sure they contain the smell somehow.

And how fresh is the poop? do they toss out any poop past 7 days...lol lol

Can you tell I'm bored?

lol, go and squat on your neighbours lawn Lisa. Im tempted to do it to mine, the cats keep getting mine. I am very very tempted to gat gun 1 in the leg.

Off topic--But you guys see the latest--frozen dog treats/ice cream?? Its at Walmart right on same shelf as the ice cream for humans... :)

I think I saw those in the store. Oh what will they think of next

I have had quite a few buyers who didn't pay and some refused to pay because they want to pay with Paypal only eventhough I don't offer Paypal on my listings at all.

One guy bought an item a while a go, I sent a Google checkout invoice and he said he couldn't pay through the link, I knew he was lying because other buyer paid without problem. And then 3 days ago he bought the same item from me, just a different listing with less quantity and still made no payment. What should I do, file an unpaid item dispute? I can't afford a neg feedback b/c I have only 20 pos feedbacks.

If you file an unpaid item dispute, buyer's negative feedback will be removed by Ebay? Any advice?

Fraudulent buyer gets himself limited ..
 

I had someone from Australia buy a shirt from me on eBay about 3 weeks ago. When he received it late last week, he sent me an email saying that it had huge stains on it and that he wants me to send him a new one. I told him to send it back and I'll even pay the return fees and send him a new one for free if it indeed has stains on it. It's highly unlikely because I checked it on both sides inside and out before packing it, but I may have missed something.

Right after I finish writing the email to him, I find a dispute from PayPal in my email inbox. When I logged into PayPal, they told me that he opened a dispute for the reason that his account was used fraudulently by a 3rd party and that he never made the purchase.

So how come he sent me an email about supposed stains just 5 minutes before? I doubt the account holder and the 'fraudulent buyer' emailed me 3 weeks after the purchase within 5 minutes of each other and even with the same email address.

Unfortunately I had no tracking because Australia doesn't scan foreign incoming airmail parcels, only FedEx and such. So I just gave him a refund and ate my loss of about $50.

This morning, he sends me an angry email asking me what I had told PayPal (I didn't tell them anything, I just refunded the payment) and that his account with nearly $6000 was now limited and they wanted all kinds of documentation from him or they will not release his money.

What an idiot ...obviously if he claims that his account was fraudulently used by a 3rd party, they will limit him.

:D :D :D

LOL - He must have made Paypals day!

Thats a classic reason paypal use to limit accounts!

Hahah... nice.

its funny how so many times when I used to sell shirts I had the same complaints about the stains and most of them ended up getting their money back and keep the shirts
man these buyers LOL
Once I had a buyer (compatitor) that demanded a full refund without returning and gave me a deadline and kept sending me emails every couple hours with the counter for the deadline LOL and said if I dont refund him he will leave -ve feedback, ebay complaints, and credit card charge back
I told him BRING IT "NO refunds before returning the shirt"
Dead line passed and he didnt even leave -ve LOL

Is this true? will the neg get taken off if they don't pay and the dispute is closed.

look at this idiot buyer...
 

This guy just asked me a question about one of my auctions. He wanted to buy about 15 items at once, then I checked his feedback and found this:

eBay Feedback Profile for jiapro

He actually left 8 neutral feedbacks with the word "ok" and 2 negative feedbacks also with the word "ok" for the same seller a few days ago.

Imagine this guy buys 15 auctions from you and leaves you 15 negatives/neutrals ...how that screws up your feedback :eek:

He's on my blocked bidders list for sure.

That is so messed up. The expression on my face white looking at that feedbackwas probably priceless

Lol.... .

What is it with buyers almost always leaving feedback just as "ok"? I've seen that before, though I've only seen them leaving everyone positive with "ok".

I got a neg because the packing peanuts got all over the livingroom
floor and made a mess !!
talk about the stupidity hall of fame buyer !!

another neg because the item arrived in 4 days not three (sunday was counted as one of thgose days )

and I have a nuetral because the mailman folded a package that had do not fold fragile with supporting cardboard to keep this from happening no less-
to squish it in a mailbox

Ok.... my turn I guess....

Buyer emailed me, saying that I sent him the wrong charger for his Bluetooth headset... (impossible). I asked him to send me a picture... he did, and it's the real charger.
I asked him to plug it in. He said "can't, it won't fit, it doesn't work, etc etc etc".
I asked him if possible to send me a video of how he did it.

Ok... so here it goes, you guys have seen scenes in movies where children are given different shaped objects and they need to use their brains to put them in the corresponding hole?
I ended up calling this damn idiot telling him to use his right hand to hold the charger head and plug it into the the wall first, and hold the bluetooth headphone on his left vertically. Then i told him to tilt the charger on his right hand 90 degrees and snap it into the bluetooth's charging hole.

Case solved right... 1 month later... eBay suspended me... then I got 3 charge backs from buyers.... I called all of them and they all said the same thing... "I got scared because eBay told us to file the disputes, the products are fine though." I got all 3 disputes canceled...

Sigh...

Those packing peanuts are really annoying though.

But for when eBay suspends, eBay should get busted by the government for telling buyers to file fraudulent disputes.

Modee, good plan!

Getting on the phone with your customer can sometimes be a good idea
 

In 13 years I have had some real goofs, this one takes the cake.

He buys 4 items from me and the phone rings off the wall, check my vm and he leaves messages that he wants to talk to me directly and has not yet decided if he wants the items he bid on unless he can talk to me in person.

His message also stated that if you want my business you must answer your phone when I call or he will consider the bids no longer valid.

I wrote him an email and told him I was not available for speak to him until tomorrow but would answer any questions he has by email as I have my laptop with me and can answer your questions.

A new voicemail came in telling me if you want your business to grow you will be available when the customer needs you and that means answering the phone when the customer calls.

He said it is a requirement of his that he speaks to sellers before paying for items he bids on.

What the heck is it with these people, he wants me to take his call on Sat eve at 6 pm, not going to happen.

And once he bid he thinks he can just not take the items he grabbed using buy it now so others would grab it and expects me to kiss his butt for 300.00 worth of items.

The demands are getting way out of line and the feedback system is what has caused this.

Anyone else get a nut like this expecting you be available 24/7 by phone?

HI: LOL...
Yes, Ive had them.. I do have 2 College girls who can answer phones for me, and emails for diff accts once the schools go back,
So--for me, its a plus-- when the guys call in, and have a 19/20 yr old answer for them, they can usually "upsell" for me..
The girls are very sharp, they know if a guys just looking for phone **x or not..
--Maybe you need a college girl to handle your calls..:)

Now that sounds like an idea. Only problem is the grump wouldnt know what a 19 year old college girl is if she hit him on the head!! ;)

Modee, doesn't this belong in http://www.aspkin.com/forums/ebay-di...iences-25.html ?

I have also experienced this. Once i sold a laptop worth about $1000, got a call from this old gentlemen who was previously scammed when buying a high valued item and ebay and he wanted to speak with someone before paying. He went on telling me about Christianity, God and his medical problems. I dont know i guess i felt bad and he seemingly wanted to talk to someone...i wanted to get paid, so i didnt hang up. I ended up saying hello to his wife lol and heard how they met 30 years prior. Most random customer service call i have ever gotten. He ended the conversation asking for a senior citizen discount because he got carried away on the auction. I politely declined.

However he did refer a couple of his family members to me who were interested in buying laptops with local pickup at the time so i made a few extra sales (off ebay).

Try to beat this idiot buyer's feedback I just got:

http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/e...bay/idiot1.jpg

That's funny.

I was selling an item for $400 on a buy it now and I got a buyer out of the blue saying he was going to leave me negative feedback and file a lawsuit and call the police because he paid me for the item that he bought and I have not sent it. Well the item was like the one I was selling but the problem was the item I was selling was still active. I told him he must have had me confused with someone else. So, he sends me payment receipts, item #'s, forwarded e-mails, and all kinds of information. I look on the receipts and their all to some other seller who was not even me! It seriously took about four days to convince this guy that he was talking to the wrong seller and over 10 e-mails!!! This guy was a real idiot and he had like 200 feedback.

Why not just ignore him and let him make the mistake?

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! He wants your paypal password you said no, then he negged you.... I sometimes wish negatives would stay on the first page of the FB page.

I sell digital software downloads. I guarantee satisfaction or money back within 7 days. I had a buyer ask me, so you guarantee your stuff right? I was like yes. He said, well your crap doesn't work I want a refund. So I asked him for his paypal email so I can look up the order. (I got 50+ orders a day back then) Spent 2 hours and couldn't find it. Then he realized oh, I bought it from someone else.

Also remember, you do not have to prove anything to anybody.
I ALWAYS ignore these troublemakers.
The probability to end up in Jail because you were selling something that somebody didnt like is like being hit by a meteorite.

Think from a lawyers perspective: if you were a lawyer, and she would come to you, what could she possibly say? "I saw this seller on ebay selling bad stuff...I wanna sue her...". Come on this is ridicolous, no lawyer in the world will embark in such an embarassing case.

LOL
The old "I was in the hospital" trick, eh?
Can't they come up with something original?

Like...

Well, you know, (I) got out of the house one day and climbed up on the roof, and the fire department couldn’t get (me) down, and finally (I) died of exposure… of starvation… or something?

So I've been selling digital items on ioffer such as ebooks etc using google adwords. I get many orders per day due to this. The more orders I get, the more I find out how stupid people are.

Example:

buyer: Hey I got the email with download link but the link doesnt work.
me: Hey I checked your link and even downloaded to check and it works.
buyer: How did you click on it?
me: Umm you can't click on it, you have to copy and paste it.
buyer: Whats copy and paste?
me: ...............

My download links expire after 3 downloads to prevent people stealing my links etc. I get this

buyer: Hey! I thought I could use this keep this ebook forever!!! If I knew I can only read it 3 times I would never buy it! I want refund.
me: The download link expires, NOT THE EBOOK!!!

buyer: Hey I can't open this file. What kinda crap are you selling I can't even open it!!!
me: Did you unzip it?
buyer: Whats unzip?
me: ...................

Now I'm not picking names, but I sell all around the world and Americans seem to be the dumbest lot when it comes to computer stuff and downloading etc. UK, Australians, and Canadians almost never ask me stupid questions like how does one copy and paste or what is zip. I don't know why this is. Are Americans really this retarded when it comes to computers??? I mean this is not writing HTML or something, its SIMPLE crap even 8 year olds know. Jezzz Sometimes I loose my temper after the 5 straight email in the day asking me what is ZIP.

Yes, the majority of Americans are really that stupid.

What is that saying? "No one ever got rich from overestimating the intelligence of the American population." It goes something like that.

I forgot one. Hey I downloaded the ebook but I can't find it. Where did it go? I spend a good 3 hours a day answer dumb questions. After the 5th dumb one, I start to loose it.

What about these. I read them somewhere online.

A guy calls HP because his computer wouldn't start up. After 1 hour on the phone, the tech asks if it is plugged in, and it is. But it turns out that the power is out in his house.

A guy calls IBM about a problem with his mouse. He says that the pointer can't go right anymore than a little. When asked what the problem was, he says there was not enough room on his mousepad to move the pointer right.....

I used to do Tech Support for HP business laptops and I had a woman call up and complain that the brand new laptop they bought last week must have had porn on it when they bought it.
She would go into her web-based e-mail account to view pictures that were sent through e-mail. They would open up in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and she would then use the forward and back arrows to scroll through them. She went back to the first one, click the back arrow and saw porn. I explained that what she was really viewing was Internet Explorer's cache and what she was seeing was downloaded from the Internet. She then tells me that only she and her husband use the laptop.
*sigh*
I explained how cache works, and showed her how to clear it out. I then advised her that, should she encounter such pictures again, she'll know where they came from (her husband).

"No one ever lost money from underestimating the intelligence of the public."

Lemme see. Was selling two stroke scooters. Ad clearly states they are two stroke and require a 1:25 premix gas/oil. Instructions clearly state that too. Get a call from a buyer and complains I sold him junk. I started asking questions. Turns out he fired it up on straight gas, drove around the neighborhood and promptly blew the engine. Wanted a refund and a shipping refund. You can imagine what I told him.

Tech support gets a call from a lady and says her coffee cup holder broke. Tech guy is puzzled and digs in. "Yes, I put my coffee in the coffee cup holder and it broke!" Turns out she broke her cd-rom tray.
