Ebay is a great place to be a buyer. Absolutely fucked place to be a seller. Be nice to your sellers folks, they don’t have it that great.
I’ve been permanently banned from ebay since I was 14.
Sold an original Alpha set of MTG cards for over $1k. Shipped it without tracking like a moron. Buyer disputed, claimed they never received it; ebay immediately refunded them and came after me for the funds. I said f that and walked away. They didn’t do much to try and collect (not sure they even can against a minor in Canada), but banned my account.
Since; I’ve tried to make a couple other accounts once or twice, and buy or sell stuff. Those got removed and orders cancelled within 24hrs.
Never edit shipping after someone buys something, because they can screw you over and you aren’t covered by PayPal or eBay if you changed anything. You have to cancel and relist if they want to change anything like that
was wondering how the hell this benefits the buyer… if they can dispute the charge and the seller can’t refute it that makes sense
Hindsight and all that.
It took me longer than I’d like to admit to start canceling/ghosting the idiots one meets from Craigslist and eBay encounters. These are the people who ask the dumb questions, want to haggle on something marked firm, want to meet at 123 Sketchy Blvd. at 2 AM, etc. One guy was fifteen minutes into explaining what he was using the hand truck I sold him for when I said ‘fuck it’ and closed the garage door on him.
Life’s too short for dumb people.
Is a hand truck a very small truck?
It’s a small (often two wheeled) L shaped cart. Alternatively called a dolly.
What is this, a truck for hands?!
It is a chest-high L-shaped metal tool with wheels at the corner so you can rest a heavy object on the bottom part and then lean the tool backwards to lift the load and wheel it around.
So you contact customer service and have it removed.
That’s a good idea, I was quite explicit in my messages with them so it might work lol
“Make it look like an accident.”
‘The customer is always right’ … doesn’t mean anything any more.
Don’t get me wrong - actual customers will always have no power no matter what platform there is.
The problem these days is that sellers, competitors, marketers and salesmen have co-opted the idea of ‘customers’ to screw over the entire system for everyone - customers and sellers.
Whatever you do in online sales, whether it is selling or buying … never trust anyone and don’t promise anything beyond what you are originally expected to do.
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
Because it originally meant “… Right in matters of taste.” It should be legally required for everyone to work in food service and retail. Some people won’t change and those we can trebuchet into the sun.
“…in matters of taste” is the phrase you forgot, bud. The rest of your point is fine, but the rambling has no connection to the customer being right, just greed.
I’ve been orbiting the sun for more than 40 years and that’s the first time I’ve heard that, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, people will always misquote stuff for there own benefit.
On the base of the statue of liberty is a plaque that reads:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
What that plaque should instead say, is…
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
Along with something welcoming immagrants to a land where immagrants are hated, and treated as less than second class citizens in a land filled with racism and hate.
I’m not saying I support or agree with these ideas. I’m just saying if we’re going to put a plaque on a symbol of our nation, it should at least be honest.
