So recently i sold bunch of Stuff on ebay, maybe 50 items. Gaming mags and books, PCBs,old game systems, just stuff i will never use and figured i could use the extra money.
I sold a couple of Pinball Mods (made by someone else). The buyer won both. One was $5 the other was $30. My wife ships both.
Guy contacts me, says he got just one (the higher priced item). I grill my wife, she swears she sent it. Whatever, i refund it. The guy then asks for his $2 refund on shipping. Give me a break. I refund that, i am not going to argue over it.
The guy then says he doesnt like the first item - he thinks that there is too much glue on the back of the mod (that i didnt make - someone else produced it). I point out its exactly as pictured, its sold as is, good luck. At this point, i am thinking how can i be wrong??
He takes it up with Ebay. They ask me for my take, i say sold as is, item as pictured, etc.
A few days later, they rule in his favor. To top it off i cant leave this guy feedback?
Wow.
I know, i know, you guys have been saying it for years, but man alive, once you go through it, i now really appreciate how disgusting it is. Its an insult - there was absolutely no basis, no explanation, No consideration to the seller. It leaves the floodgates open for buyers to potentially do ALOT of harm to honest sellers.
Ebay, you truly suck (and so do you, Pinball mod guy).
I think i am going to short the crap out of the Ebay stock. If they continue to run their business like this, its definitely a good investment.
