Interesting Ebay reaction (update 2/13)

BigA

So I try to be informative with a seller that has a MS70 ASE as a BIN of $59 with shipping of $41. I figure he doesn't know that shipping is included in figuring out his Ebay fee so I send him a friendly informative email.

He responds basically telling me to

<< <i> ????? please keep personal issues to your self unless your buying something >>



..and then changes his auction to a BIN at $100 with $5 shipping.

...and added this:

<< <i>Simple 2011 rare red label MS 70 ncg Early Release people didnt like to save so now its changed.Its still a deal and the ones wanting change didnt want to buy this coin anyways.Being nice and trying to help ppl doesnt pay.. Dont miss out relisting price will go up some.For all others thanks for looking! >>



At least he had this right: "Being nice and trying to help ppl doesnt pay"

NCG coin? Out of spite I reported for not clear pics (violation of ebay's rules on selling coins).

We'll see what happens and what he lists it for next time around!

Fees may be the same but if there is an issue and he has "refunds cost of item but not shipping" then he makes out like a bandit....that may explain his issue with the "help".

That used to be the case, but now eBay dictates that the shipping fee must also be refunded on returns. Only the postage fee for returning the item is an out of pocket expense for the buyer.

The fellow seems a little touchy, wound a little tight. I normally would not offer my 2 cents unless asked or unless it is to a friend or someone I know would welcome helpful feedback. I've run across several people who are offended by attempts to help.

Geez, he's revised the shipping terms 11 times since the listing started.

I think I'll ask him if I can pick up the coin in person!

Thats the funny thing about some ebay sellers. You would think they would be grateful for other people's help but sometimes you would think they have something stuck up their you know what.

I just got this rambler response to my "Your Welcome" ....kinda 'splains a lot..



<< <i>sorry i was just trying to make money back why i did it like that ive took losses on every coin i sold last year and i am on ssi and know moneys tight for every buddy.I like to try and help ppl out and make some money to help pay my bills because ssi says i owe them 10,000 dollars in back pay.Because they messed up my back pay.So i have to take losses to try to pay them back and they take money out of my check and it makes paying my bills harder and cant event aford to eat because i dont have money left for food.So you see why i am trying my best to make sales.Goverment is trying to screw the disabled...hope you under stand peace >>
