strange buyer

t0psales — Fri, 10 May 2013 04:42:55 GMT

sold him an item, kitchen appliance, returned stating item was damaged in transit and had marks where it had been heated, it had 2 scratches also, strange brand new item.

he returned it, we sent second one, now he reckons he does not want the item.

"The item has been returned to the Post office to be returned to sender. I do not want or need the fry pan,"

my question is, why would he purchase it in the first place, maybe he did the damage to get a refund.

Its also funny that he stated he has returned to the PO cause his next message states

"Please provide me with a return authorization number for the second unit which was not ordered. I will return the item"

me thinks someone is wasting my time and money.

Do you take note of the serial nos as you sell items? Might be an idea ?:|

I would leave the ball in his court now.

Does he mean he just took it to the PO and left it ? or returned to your PO Box - either way he has not actually followed protocol.

He sounds a little strange, so wait and see what happens next.

I will give you better advice if I can have that cute cat bed you've got 😉

greencat do you want the sunny window bed?

I put it on my watch list because The Big Boofhead has a birthday coming up on the 8th June.

I would buy it for him right now but can't afford it for a couple of weeks.

Sorry OP, I went a little off topic, until he provides tracking details to Paypal or you notify Paypal you have received the item back then he won't get a refund.

I woke up the Boofhead to show him and he seems delighted with the idea.

The buyer probably noticed the original item was from HK and not from Australia as stated in the listing, they possibly may never have purchased in the first place if your listings show the true location of the items.

GC and Bump, would honestly trust plastic suction caps to support your poor little pcats? Your puss could end up hurt.

the item is sourced from australia, I am slowly removing all listings from china.

It is strange that he states he did not want or need it, so why order one in the first place??

Possibly

1) Could he have damaged the item by misusing it - doesn't want another because he realises that it can't stand up to the treatment he gives it.

2) Doesn't like the quality of the item so doesn't want a replacement

3) he already had a damaged one and replaced it with your original. (A lot of trouble to go to to get a "free" pan, more likely to be 1) or 2). )

I was showing someone the listing today and they thought because of the high amount of condensation on the inside of my sunny window that the suction caps would just slide down the wet window every night.

But I still want one:-(

I assumed the same thing, but having sold 24 of these, I have only had one complaint, it fell and the cat got a hell of a shock..

I suppose if the window was dirty it would lessen the suck effect.

thank you sucksales, I will be leaving it on my watch list until the bank balance improves and then it will move to my list of purchases.

Oh dear, I just looked at the extra photos, I will need to get more cats because I like the set of three, sort of like the pottery flying ducks on the wall but instead 3 cats sleeping on a window.

this user has been told by paypal to send the second one back at his expense, he has given me neutral but I suspect low stars, how do I check that again, also would ebay remove a neultral?

Re: strange buyer

Your DSR stars show on your feedback page, but, there's no way of knowing who gave you a low rating.

The feedback doesn't fit the criteria for removal by eBay.
