Hole In The Bucket
Last night I see "Messages (1)" above my ebay dashboard, and think
"Here we go again" Yup. I sent a suitcase to somebody in Oregon, they
were not happy with how I packed it, and wanted a 30% refund. I told
them I've shipped 4 or 5 suitcases in the same manner, and never had a
problem til now but refunded it. Argh.

Another Fuckin' Love Song
Ah ebay. Bastion of idiots. I love thee.
This idiot bought a 300+ piece Polly Pocket lot, including 8 playsets and various dolls and clothes pieces. I charged her $15 and change because on pre-weigh in the box weighed 14 pounds.
When I packed the box, it weighed 16 pounds, but I did not like how flimsy it seemed, so I bought another box to double box it with. It cost me $2.77. When I went to the post office it cost me ANOTHER $2.29 because the box was 4 pounds overweight. Meanwhile the woman bitched and moaned about "Where was her box?" I know from experience that people like that are just looking for shit to bitch about.
Then, last night I get this e-mail:
"why did you charge me so much for shipping when it only cost 2.29 to ship because you went parcel post.which is why it took so long to get here.they don't send it out until a truck is filled with parcel mail which takes a week or more.am i going to get the other 13 dollars back?"
This idiot thinks I mailed a 20 pound box from Mass to Indiana for $2.29. Yup.
I reply with:
"No. It cost me an EXTRA $2.29. When your weight is off at the post office they charge you there and add the extra postage sticker to the box. What you're seeing is the extra I paid.
It sure as heck costs more than $2.29 to ship a 20 pound box! It also cost me $2.77 for the extra box for the double boxing. It cost around $22 to ship that lot."
And as for your parcel post concern, If I had sent that box priority, I would have had to charge over $30 for shipping and depending on your zone it may have cost an extra $30 surcharge for an oversize parcel. You can look it up on USPS.com. From zipcode 0---- to your zipcode, 20 pound package.
Apparently the bitch is not only dumb, but also illiterate.

"but it still only cost 2.29 to ship?and if you do have to pay 30 to ship it then you put 30 on the listing.i have been a dealer for 15 years (not all on ebay) but when you put up 15 dollars shipping and it cost 2.29 to ship it is wrong of you as a seller.when you can start 50 listings a month out at any price you want and put the shipping charges up also so that the buyer is not taken advantage of."
I had enough. My dad just got admitted to the hospital with high blood pressure and kidney failure, I had to deal with my mother-in-law getting cocked and falling on her ass and injuring herself on the sidewalk costing me a shipping day, AND had to drive her to work at 5AM twice, and overslept when I got home, when I should have been doing ebay...Fuck YOU lady.
I sent her a picture of BOTH receipts. The one from the printed slip and the one with the $2.29 added on by the PO. Then I reported her to ebay as harrassing me with unreasonable demands; I.E. Wanting me to ship a 20 pound box for $2.29. I also called them and got everything on record.
As expected, yesterday, the 6th, the bitch left me a neutral feedback STILL insisting that I charged $15 for shipping and only paid $2.29. I called ebay and had a lengthy conversation with one of their script-reading outsources about removing it, since it was a blatant lie, because she is dumber-than-a-box of rocks if she really believes I paid $2.29.
I am going to log into my old account from someone's else house and get her user ID. NOBODY should have to deal with her.
