I don't see what gender has to do with it. I have had both male and female buyers who turned out to be nuts.
eBay is definitely NOT HELPING the situation. They keep raising buyer's expectations. First, by pushing "free shipping" then by coming up with their new "Fast N Free" time estimates.
The problems are:
Shipping is NOT free! Somebody has to pay for it. I just build it into the cost because that is what eBay has trained buyers to want.
The FAST thing is more problematic. I have been looking at these time estimates, and they are promising 1-2 day delivery in some cases. When it takes longer, the buyers will be angry - but with the SELLERS, not with eBay.
Ot, maybe eBay has decided than on $20 items, we now have to offer free, OVERNIGHT shipping???
