Do you all send your E-Bay clowns my way????

Morning,

Day 1:

Buyer: I see you have 7 1975 Mini packs, I want all seven but your BIN is a little high, can you lower your price?

me: Sorry, but not by much, have too much into them and they sell well so, I can only do $1 off per pack. Let me know and I will lower the BIN.

Buyer: OK, so how much is combined shipping and I want to pay you with Paypal, here is my Paypal info.

me: If you buy them with BIN the only way I accept payment is by Paypal, so that is how you would be paying. Combined shipping will be $8 which will include DC and Insurance to protect us both. I always require this on $240 sales. Let me know.

Day 2:

Buyer: You sold a pack last night, why did you do that? I told you I needed seven. Now you only have six, what am I supposed to do?

me: Sorry about that, but I told you they sell well. Do you want the other six packs? Let me know.

Buyer: Yes I want the the six packs but your price is too high.

me: I will end listing and send request for money if you confirm you will take them at lowered price of $35 per pack.

Day 3:

Buyer: Your shipping is too high can you ship lower?

me: I happen to be leaving for the Post Office, I will take box with me and get you exact shipping, amount before of $8 was my best guestimate.

me: Just back from Post Office, my estimate was .10 cents off, actual shipping will be $7.90. Do you still want packs?

Buyer: Yes, but your shipping is too high.

me: I am sorry about that, usually I have more room to work within on the items I sell, but these packs are about break even as it is, so I can't eat the shipping. Do you still want the packs?

Buyer: Yes but your price is still too high.

At this point in time I am done with the back and forth and choose to walk away before I lose it, figure he either buys them or not, whatever at this point.

Day 4:

Buyer: You still have the 6 packs for Sale?

me: (After carefull consideration and at least 10 different answers coming to mind) Yes I do.

Buyer: (Must have been at computer, answer is immediate) OK I will take them but your price is too high.

me: Ok, since you are right there I am going to end listing and send Invoice (Request for Money) right now. Please pay Imm. and I will go to Post Office and ship ASAP.

So I end listing and send Request for Money.

Day 5: Nothing

Day 6: Nothing

Day 7: I am relisting my packs and this Dipwad can stick it where the sun don't shine.

New addition for your BBL:

Have a Great Day

    why did you end the listing?
    Did he ask you to do that.

    It was obvious from the get go this clown was gonna be a headache. Since the packs sell well you should have blocked him after day 2. image

    Maybe he saw your ridiculous shirt at the National. image


  • << <i>why did you end the listing?

    That was part of the agreement, I only included the Highlights (Lowlights?) of our correspondence in this thread, there were so many E-Mails back and forth for this Non Deal!!! Some of them were exact duplicates of E-Mails I had just answered. And the Statement of your Price is too high was used many more than I mentioned.

    That is absolutely MORE conversation than I have with more than
    2,000 buyers combined each year.

    A massive number of EBAY buyers are mentally ill.

    The "buyer," johanne7706, would have been on my BBL after receipt
    of the second email. My final results would have been the same as
    thedutymon's, without having to chat with the "buyer."

    Dutymon....I want them, but your price per pack AND shipping is way too high. let's say you just pay me $20 per pack to take them off your hands. And I will only charge you $5 per pack shipping to ship them to me, and I promise not to ding your all of your stars ( I will have to ding communication though if you don't respond back to me within 45 seconds of this offer)!!!!

    Wow, sounds like a great offer, but don't you think I should fly them to you and hand deliver, wherever you are!!!image

  • You do realize that even if you offered that moron free shipping he still wouldn't have paid for the packs.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    Zeb that's funny because I was going to say:

    "And some people are just maggots"

    But did not want anyone to think I was speaking about them.

    Good for you.

    What confuses me about this whole thing Neil, was that you left this guy positive feedback thanking him for his quick payment. Did you have a successful transaction in the past with him?

    Bobby,
    I guess I must have, didn't catch that. He won't be getting positive feedback from me again....He's BBL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I blocked him, but you did have a couple of successful transactions on the same item back in Aug were you gave him positive feedback?
