Insulting message about prices

[11dustyattic]

Anyone get randoms sending insulting messages about your prices? lol

lmao got a message saying hahaha you can buy it brand new for less than that. Although I wasn't aware, following that, I did find it elsewhere, but 'out of stock' so he's technically incorrect.

But I checked his feedback and sure enough he buys tons of same type of items, obviously to resell on another account. So I replied, said what's the matter snookums, price not cheap enough for you to resell?

He'd be one of those who cons the staff in op shops 'I'm a collector'. Yeah sure you are, we all are until we get home and list it for sale 😎  I suggested he trot off and troll new sellers, being the bottom dweller he is

Anyone else had those type of messages?

Cameras I consider high risk. The Minolta I have listed has had a lot of interest, on here and elsewhere, finding a genuine buyer though is nigh on impossible.

'Risk' would be buying a camera advertised on eBay as 'Used', (i.e. "An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended") from a seller who admits "I haven't tested however. Selling as is."

It's an old camera. I don't know how to test it. I need to find an old dinosaur to help me. Do you have any free time?

Mate have you ever lost a significant sum of money to scammers? Your comment is ignorant. This kind of description is common now because of the buyer money back guarantee and the length of time they have to do paypal claims.

Contrary to what you are insinuating, which I don't appreciate btw **bleep**, it isn't (I'm not) dodgy or 'risky', purely a protective measure adopted by many now. You also seem to make continued assumptions about me, I'm guessing based on the type of things I sell. You don't know anything about me so stop judging me. I recently listed a high risk item fully tested, like new in the box, and got scammed. Will never EVER do that again. So you can keep your incorrect insinuations to yourself. No need to be nasty

My goodness, what an overreaction!

Your description contradicts the condition classification you've selected - it's as simple as that.  If you're not going to test something to establish functionality but advertise it as "fully operational" (which is what you're saying by selecting 'Used'), then you're opening yourself up to problems later on.

If you're not gonna test things, classify their condition as 'For parts or not working' - eBay doesn't give two hoots about your description in a dispute. A camera that old could have numerous things wrong with it - I would elaborate, but don't want to bother you with further "ignorant" details.

You have been trolling me mate and you need to stop. Whatever your issues are, don't put them off onto me

[tazzieterror]

You're imagining things. I honestly don't pay attention to most of your posts and see now that's probably for the best.

We both know that's rubbish. You read everything
