Heil

The German plates case lives on. Ebay decided in his favor after he uploaded a tracking number on February 15. I still have no plates, and paypal unceremoniously took $204 and gave it to him.

So...again the seller gets screwed. I am out the plates and the $65 shipping.

Conversely, If indeed he did send anything back, he's out whatever he paid to send them back, and if he did send all of them, he's out the merchandise too. If that's so, it was a total dumbass move.

He should have taken my 50% offer. John would have gotten paid, and he would have had two nice plates with half his money back and shipping paid for.

I would not have gotten anything, but my consignor would have gotten something, and my buyer as well. The language barrier was not a factor in this...it was common sense that bit someone on the ass.

Which scenario would you pick?

2 good plates for what you originally paid for them and free shipping.

No plates, out shipping costs.

Agent Dumbass

I sold a 1960's tube of lipstick. Person got it two days ago. Today I get this:

hi
I am not sure if you know but it does not work. I try to find the vintage red lip stick since I am a ww2 re-enactor and new red lip stick does not stay on at all but 50-75 year old mixed with a little Vaseline will stay all day So even when it is gone I still will not be able to put any in the pretty tube. What do you suggest I do?

The ancient lipstick doesn't "work". You are surprised that 50 year old lipstick doesn't "work"? WW2 re-enactor? WTF. Okay Agent Carter, send the fuckin' lipstick back if you're unhappy. Ugh.

The Saga Continues...

So, the saga with the German ass who bought the collector plates a month and a half ago continues. He escalates case on ebay. I respond "Send back plates", and give the address. This was January 26th. He supposedly had 10 days to do it. It has now been 10 days, but since they ruled the case in favor of his moronic ass this morning, he now has 10 MORE and now, even though my return policy states buyer pays return shipping, I am expected to pay for it.

Then right after they rule the case in the "buyer's favor", the asshole e-mails me and asks if he has to send the plates back. *head-fuckin-desk* ASSHOLE. I HAVE TOLD YOU PROBABLY ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW in your own fucking language(!) that you have to send the fuckin' things back!!! You know what? I am done, since you like opening cases and escalating them via ebay, fuck you. Ask them what to do. Not like you'll listen or anything anyway.
