I had a buyer for an item on ebay who was pissed that the book was from a book club(which was in my description) and that 10 pages in a row were folded in and ruined the book. Then when she emailed me to complain, she was very threatening and we went around and around and I gave her a refund, but mentioned that she needed to send the book back to me. She emailed me back very huffily that she sees no reason to return the book, why should she spend her money? Which honestly led me to believe that there was nothing wrong with the book and she wanted to put one over on me. So I went to ebay, and they refused to do anything. I really believe they care more about the buyers than the sellers and this certainly drove home that point to me.
Now I have a question for y'all: Say you sell a bunch of items on ebay,and one buyer bids on several items that end over a period of time. They email you and say, I know you want payment within ten days, can you wait till all the auctions I am bidding on are over so that I can pay in one lump sum? Being someone who likes repeat business, I of course acquiesce, because they approached me calmly and reasonably. The last auction ended, I sent a large invoice, and have heard nothing. Today they email me and said, resend the invoice and i will pay right away via paypal. That was 6 hours ago. Would you email them and ask what is up? or not?
