Its not easy being an eBay seller

danglen

There seems to be a perception throughout the buying public that life as a seller on eBay is a bed of roses. Here for you enjoyment are two emails I just got from a buyer.

First email: "please tell me want i said,i gave you two weeks to get the auction to me,becouse 40% of the people don't pay meand if i wate over a month paypal won't pay for it take to long to get my auction.please write back.
thanks,
XXXXXX"
To which I responded
"Dear XXXXXX,
I really have no idea what you are trying to tell me.
Regards,
Dan"

Second email:
"hay i sorry about all that,but it take 4o%of the people to send me my auction,some time it take 3-4 months and i have threaten to call the cop.you don't want to sell me the auction,please writeback and let me know.
thanks,
XXXXXX"

Any suggestions on where I go from here?

It's not easy being an Ebay Buyer either!!!!! Have to send my money away for Franklins and Comic Books, Grrrrr.....

How about suggesting to the buyer English as a FIRST language? Hey, I know not everyone is articulate, but come on.

Cheers,

Danglen:

Ask the writer of the emails if he/she is under any medication right now.... and if they aren't - recommend a few good ones!

tell him you're going thru with the sale and send the guy a stinking dictionary along with the coin.

I better ask my 4 year old if he's been on here bidding and typing messages.

Perfecly fine understanding I am. He wants no wait on auction he bought. You no wanna sell no wait 3-4 months like 40%.

ohh Engrish! Did this person win one of your auctions? did they pay? did you ship? are they a wacko?

danglen

GP, these are all excellent questions.

I know what you mean. I've been sitting here for an hour trying to think of what to tell a winning bidder from "down under" that I don't ship outside US, which is clearly stated in the description. He bid big dollars and I would like that part. I'm 7 of 10 for good experiences as a seller. Your problem is very strange.

The good news is, if he leaves you negative feedback, no one will know what the heck he is trying to say!

Ask for the ebay item number. Maybe that will shed some light.
