Another superb ebay seller....NOT

I won and paid for a card 18 days ago via paypal. Earlier today I sent the seller a very courteous email asking what the shipping status was. His reply was the following,

" I mailed the card, what the hell more do you want ? "

I just replied that a ship date, or even a courteous answer would have been acceptable, followed with a mention that it will be filed as item not received tomorrow. I of course followed that with thanking him for his superb customer service.

Needless to say, he wont be getting any business from me in the future. For the record, I had no problem at all with the card taking time, I understand things happen, I just wanted an answer that wasnt rude. Anyone who would like this sellers id for their own record can pm me.

  • It seems eBay can be a rough place to buy cards. I have only dealt will a handful of sellers so far and have had a bad experience myself. Does anyone keep a list of sellers to avoid? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Hang around here long enough and you will get lots of info on sellers to avoid. Between a dozen or so I have come across myself and another 20 or so from board members my " dont ever f-ing buy from again list is getting looooong.

    My list is long, too. But, not too long.

    I cannot imagine why a seller would respond
    like that to a simple Q about shipping status.

    When I get that kind of Q, I immediately email
    a copy of the USPS DC status-report. And, I
    include a bunch of hand-holding "don't worry"
    words.

    I have not bought much in a very long time,
    but I doubt I would buy anything from someone
    I did not already know, unless I thought I was
    stealing it and was willing to take a risk.

    lilmule,

    Codyp2000 has been talked about on a few other posts. I have had terrible deals with him as well.

    Is there a "blocked seller" tool for buyers similar to the "blocked bidder" tool for sellers? I can't find it if there is.

    The auction I won from Codyp2000 was only 8.00 was not worth him putting his little rude comments on my good feedback So I didnt leave him any comments.

    Bri, I'd be very interested in reading what you asked him that resulted in such an off-the-wall response. You must have it in your ebay messages under "sent". Please post.

    Just a little update....

    Still no card. No response to the claim I filed with paypal ( which in a way is better than the nasty response I received the 1st time)

    Apparently this is a pattern for this seller. Maybe when he doesnt get the price he wants its easier to play this game. I wasnt going to give out his ebay id here, but since he was such a miserable SOB i may as well......

    potential buyers beware.

    Bri...
    Oddly enough, I actually know this guy. He used to own a shop just down the road from me. I've bought from him several times without a problem.... but I certainly don't condone any sort of response similar to what you got. I run into him every now and then at local shows... I'll give him a hardtime for ya.

    I understand it won't change a thing in your book, but he's actually a pretty nice guy... must have been having a bad day or something when he rudely responded to you.

    Well he must have alot of bad days. His feedback tells the story better than anything I could say. Im obviously not the first one he has ripped off or bad mouthed along the way. Feel free to tell him I said so image

    It's pretty crazy how small of a world this is especially in the card world. I would havet to say The biggest thing the seller or any seller haset to do is just be honest about the card and customer service. When a seller is saying those bad words he does not realize how fast words get around especailly on here lol image

    what a schmuck. how about i'd like to get it?

    any seller that says anything like that should be barred from selling.
