Minor Ebay rant

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I bought some Christmas gifts ( graded cards ) for some of the specialty collectors here on the board . Believe me , NOTHING great , but something others might really like . Seller , who post here often , said they would combine shipping . I asked 3 times to please combine the shipping , as per the Ebay listing . They kept sending me back separate invoices , 3 times . I paid it . They shipped in one package . We are not talking a lot of money here ; its just the principle of honoring what you state in your shipping . This is no little seller either .

    Unless you feel you tried your best which it does. 3 negs is hard. But if he was trying to squeeze 2.00 out of ya and knew he was. Maybe a neutral I guess. He might just be busy like you said. But that does seem rude.

    I think I misunderstood the "Do I nuke them ?" question. Based on the other responses, it sounds like you may have been asking if you should leave negative feedback. If so, I'm not sure.

    I interpreted "Do I nuke them ?" as you asking if you should out the board member. And I would enjoy that.

    Thanks so far for the replies . Nuke = negs . I have only left 4 negs in 7 years so its not in my nature as a first response.

    You say you combine , you refuse to combine . They have over 4,000 feedback . They know what they are doing or not doing .

    I normally save my wrath for turds . I wouldn't exactly call this guy a turd . Mostly just annoyed .----- Sonny

    I won a 1971 Topps Johnny Callison PSA 8 for a great price - about $22. I gave positive feedback and left 19 out of 20 stars to the seller. I am now blocked. Empathy is my new thing and I am guessing he thought, "You fat ingrate. You get a great card at a bargain and receive it within 12 days and I get to see my shipping time go from 4.9 to 4.8? See ya"

    Why he assumed I am fat, I do not know.

    I would have liked to buy more from him and have learned my lesson on feedback. Don't get me wrong, I would leave a neg if he was a complete turkey tit - which I have done maybe twice on my tenure here. But I agree with the others that should be the main factor on whether to neg.

    Oh, and if you are reading this and blocked me after selling me a 71 Topps Callison PSA 8, I am sorry.

    About 3 or 4 years ago I bought some 66-Topps baseball from a NY seller . The cards arrived , I believe 18 days later . There might have been numerous reason why it took 18 days ( didn't actually have possession at time of sale ? ). Anyway I left positive feedback but also notes about how long it took . I loved the cards , but was blocked from that point forward . He still sells cards I'd love to buy but I don't have or need to deal with him anymore . Crappy service is crappy service .----- Sonny

    I'm not done with you, either. I'm just getting started.

    I just drank a bunch of wine for the 1st time since my Cancer treatment. Tastes good. I might go look at some BUY IT NOWS on the bay. I think I'll start my searches with Ruth, Cobb...then Mantle. Wish me luck. I took tomorrow off.

    And, don't buy if you've been drinking!!!! image

    ps, best of luck with that cancer thing. My son just had surgery this past Thursday for testicular cancer.
  • Mickey71Mickey71 Posts: 4,259 ✭✭✭✭
    Bruce,
    I had the same cancer as your son. Mine also spread to my abdomen. Had 2 major surgeries. Am doing well now. //////////////I seem to make good purchases when I drink. I bought an upper deck Griffey rookie in PSA 8 for $299. It looks high end.image
  • calaban7calaban7 Posts: 3,013 ✭✭✭
    The seller made good on the extra postage . He claimed that he had sent me an adjusted invoice and was confused when I paid for extra postage . I don't know ; maybe a like paying excessive postage and never realized it . Who knew ????

    None the less , nukes are back in the silos , safe for another day .---- Sonny

    If a seller blocks an ID can't the buyer create a new ID and purchase from the seller with the new ID?

    Yes, I believe so, since blocking just blocks the ID, not the real-life person. But, if the seller notices after the fact that the same person is now using a new ID, then new problems may arise.
