Cheaplestiltskin 2 Electric Boogaloo

 The Ding dong that messaged me 5 days ago asking about 6 ponies surfaced again...this is the message I got:

Hi, if these ponies are still available, would you be able to create a bundle for me for $50? My zip code is -------.


I was like sorry dude, I answered you several days ago. I sold the ponies elsewhere. 

In actuality I sold 3 of them, but point being - you snooze, you lose. The Canadian that bought them was no BS, she agreed upon a lot, paid immediately. No dicking around, no haggling. I got a little more than I would have selling to this clown and without the dang ebay fees and threat of shit feedback.

Cheaplestiltskin

Here is a fairy tale from Ponyland... 

I am selling off some excess ponyage this week. This is because I have a very tiny pony room and need the space for my loose ponies and some G1 playsets that I want to bring down from the attic. I had a taker from Aussieland who bought two rather largish lots from me and a couple of randos buying several more.

My Ma is over visiting and I see that I have a message: 

"Would you consider combining the ponies below for $50? Thanks"

A list of 6 ponies is given. Mind you, they are already asking for a $10 discount by offering only $50 for 6 ponies. I have to cut my visit short with my Ma because I gotta get into the closet, get the ponies, weigh them and respond to the asker.

I send them back a shipping amount ballpark with zipcodes added to show cost for whatever area they may live in and they vanish into thin air, never to be heard from again...I'd say, "The End" but I want to elaborate once more that pony people are cheap fucking flakes.

                                                        The End

Skeezy Pony PPL

 


This morning I go to one of my groups. In said group is a person "congratulating" someone for having won a lot for $30ish bucks with a very rare Spain pony in it. 

I cringed internally for the buyer. I know if I pulled off the coup of the decade, I'd be livid if some bitch posted a picture of the lot and told people where it was bought from, which this chick did.

Now, most likely one of the vultures from that group is searching relentlessly for the sold lot so they can swoop in and offer more just to be a dick. *sigh* Pony People, man.

Merry Fuckin' Christmas

 I list a ceramic tree. Person makes a lowballish offer on it. I accept because she lives one state over and the shipping will be less prohibitive.

Day 1...crickets.

Day 2...crickets.

Day 3...crickets.

I cancel the auction "Why was my order cancelled?"

Jeez, bitch I dunno...maybe because you fuckin' LEFT ME HANGING for three days after getting the tree for half price without an explanation as to why? 

I find it funny that she could not be bothered to contact me for 3 days but when I cancel her - FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! lol.

I tell her why I cancelled. My reply?: 

"I had every intention of paying. It's only been 3 days!"

Uhhh do you think Amazon is going to wait 3 days for payment when you click Buy Now? I'd like to call my credit card company after they've charged me a late fee and go "It's only been 3 days!" Fucking A. These people. This asshole has less than 30 feedback. Two feedback left for her by sellers were very telling:

Ended up not getting but cancelled quickly ! Awesome buyer!

You need to pay before it can be shipping. Thanks

Cluster

 It will be peaceful for weeks and then we have an influx of stupid.

Today an old clock ended. So far, crickets from the buyer. 

I get a message about a "cancellation" and I am like "Here we go". It's not the clock, but a bidder cancelled their bids on a doll outfit. I am sure more stupid is coming...

Karen Prompter

 Today I left feedback for a very nice skirt I ordered for my winter wardrobe. I left the seller a positive feedback. As I clicked off the page, I was met with the button shown in the screenshot - What I like to affectionately call a "Karen Prompt".

It is almost like Ebay wants someone to open a case. There are prompts everywhere to fucking complain or return shit. It's fucking ridiculous. Believe me you, ebay, if someone wants to bitch they'll find a way.

  Ebay has now changed the feedback removal protocol for sellers and now even though they like to tout "You're covered" when y...
