Another wonderful eBay story - LUCKY ME!

So I sold off some of my autographed baseballs this week - inlcuding this one. The auction ended this Tuesday the 17th. It was shipped out priority mail on the 19th (which I paid extra for - the auction said it was going to be shipped 1st class).

And I get this email from the buyer today:
"i was wondering how long its guna take to send the baseball to tampa."

To which I responded:
"It was shipped out yesterday priority mail so you should get it early next week."
(Which was incorrect - it was actually shipped out 2 days ago)

To which he responded:
"hey man thanks for sending that out but i payed the extra 10.00 bucks for first class mail so it should have been here today."

By the time I was able to reply to him explaining the nuances of the US mail system and that priority mail is FASTER than first class, he's given me my first negative in nearly 10 years:
"i payed ten bucks for firstclass mail but got regular, it took to long"

So I suppose I'm now stuck with this negative. Nice. All I can say is WOW.....

    Sorry to hear about that. At least you got to make his feedback -1! And warn others about this douche. How can anybody live in the 21st century America and not understand 1st class v. Priority? Weird.

    That sounds like an official, first class KNOB. Now, I am going to leave a harsh negative for one person soon - but I think I'm within my rights, after the guy took my $ and 3 months has gone by with nada from him, other than one lame excuse after one month.... image

    I guess this would be a tailor-made example of why some will cancel the bids of brand-new bidders...

    This is why Ebay should allow sellers to block those with zero feedback scores. That's where the vast majority of deadbeat bidders come from.

    Based on his comment I think it would be worth the effort to try - you've probably already contacted him.

    BTW - that buyer got a really sweet deal on that baseball - really sweet!

    You might consider wrapping these item in toilet paper so these types of buyers can wipe themselves. Even though I've only had a "Neg" from a non-paying retalitory buyer , I've had many crazies, that I've had to deal with. I can see why people are NOT shopping on Ebay, inspite of the rosy reports. I'm sure there are other reasons as well , but crap is crap even to GOD.

    Last December , I had a seller who I bought some coins from on a Thurday night. I sent payment out that next day as he only took money orders. He lived in Florida and I live in the Peoples Republic of Maryland and that Monday was a bank holiday. He had the nerve to send a payment reminder Tuesday morning, then told me that if payment wasn't received by Wednsday night he was going to NEG me. As it turned out he got his money that next morning , then took about 2 weeks to mail his crap out. I finally received my coins about 16 days after the auction ended. I would've neutraled him , but he got NLARU before I could leave feedback.

    My blocked buyers list is only maybe 20-30 long. Why should I have to put up with these type of people ? It seems no matter what you do for these types, they're not going to be happy. Why bother ? I also have about 10 seller that have great items that I would love to have, but after being burned or hearing of them burning others, My money is going somewhere else. Thank GOD that its only a small handfull of TURDS both buyers and seller that one has to fight with. I really appreciate my repeat buyer, who I bend over backward for and the fantastic sellers that make my good service seem like bad service in comparison.

    I'm glad this bozo hasn't found anything that he likes in my corner of the world.

    I don't know how some of these people make it through life. Sorry about your neg. Maybe we should start emailing these jacka$$'s these threads so they can see how truely stupid they are.

    How would that have helped here? Seller got the neg. The buyer could care less about the neg he got. In fact, if he's smart he will cancel that Ebay account and start over. Means nothing.

    I saw he neg'd him after I made the comment. But, good thing he didn't leave a positive immediately after he paid or he wouldn't have been able to neg him at all.

    His reply of I paid $10 "extra" was strange. He paid for shipping. Also to me first class is "regular" mail. I wouldn't worry about it, but it is to bad getting your 1st negative from someone like this.
