As Ebay Turns

Had a damned good week. Bought of a load of fishing crap and sold it for uber high prices. Sold some depression glass for about 20 times what I paid for it. My car was running like shit and I ordered a catalytic converter, only to find out that it was a $2 spark plug causing the problem. Canceled my order and saved $160.

Waited then for the other shoe to drop, and like I always expect, ebay never disappoints.

Hello - I received my dishes yesterday - and there were broken items.  The auctions were shipped in 2 boxes - and each box had broken pieces. 
The items that were broken :
Chartreuse Saucer
Chartreuse Salad Plate
Chartreuse Large Platter
Seafoam Salad Plate
Seafoam Dinner Plate
Seafoam Covered Casserole - lid

I was really disappointed - the dishes were in good condition.. and would have been a wonderful addition to my collection.. other than poor packing.
I can return the broken items or send pictures of them... but I would like a refund on those items.

Yes, lady because 30 large pieces of pottery won't ship well in one box, I shipped them in two. I guess somehow that was my first crime.

Then she starts with the "poor packing" accusations. These I HATE with a vengeance. I spent an hour and a half on that packing job. I used brand new packing materials for said job. The box with more stuff in it, was double boxed.

BTW, The other two boxes I sent that day packed the same way (one with a set of 20 pieces inside) somehow arrived safely. How about you get all accusatory with your local postal service, lady? Hmm? Because only your set got damaged. I sent her polite message asking her what she wanted for a refund.

They are always lightning fast to complain, then take forever to answer you when you ask them what it is that they want. I know the bitch will wait to answer me until I am work, where I am offline for 5 hours straight, then get pissed because I didn't refund right away, and pull the "case" trigger on me.
