I sold a box of business cards on Friday 26 Sept (public holiday in Victoria woohoo so we were away for the long weekend and got home late Monday night 😁). Now, most of the time I get parcels out within a couple of days or so, but, I have my handling time at 10 days, which, is clearly noted in the listing with estimated delivery times and an eBay pop-up message advises potential buyers of the longer handling time prior to committing to purchase. On the early hours of 3 Oct I processed postage, packaged the item ready to lodge at AP. I work during the day so don’t read eBay emails until I get home. I had lodged the parcel at AP later that afternoon. As I was going through my emails I saw I had an eBay message from the buyer, a rather curt email. ”We paid for this on the 26 September and you have dispatched it 7 days later. We have now purchased it somewhere else We will not be here to receive it so we are are lodging a claim as it will be returned by the post office. I am also leaving negative feedback.” A bit harsh but anyway…..I saw no point in responding to this type of message at this stage. Now take into account, a public holiday and weekend, buyer is in the same state but rural area, I lodged the parcel on the 5th business day which was Friday, well within the stated handling time. Parcel has arrived today at the PO. At no time prior to me processing postage did the buyer contact me saying this was urgent or request express postage. Now I will wait to see how she goes lodging a claim, given she is going to refuse collection. (Not covered by MBG if she refuses to collect) I thought I’ll have a look at the feedback this person leaves for other sellers…..well I nearly fell of the chair. I lost count after 83 negs left for other sellers in the last year, barely any positives! 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 I will happily add her to my special buyers list 🤪🤪🤪
