Am I anal?Other buyers have an issue with receiving goods that are filthy??

Hi all

It really annoys me when I buy something & it is sent in a filthy condition...

Does it bother anyone else? I buy light fittings & canisters, sometimes I receive them in horrendous condition, do people find them under the shed or at the tip & then just post them on here?

For me as a seller as well, I would never send an item to someone that was clearly filthy?? If I want a buyer to buy from me again it is very important to me that I ensure whatever I sell is sent in as clean condition as possible..

Do other's agree or AM I anal??

I agree with you however some people just have no shame.

Most, if not all, the regular posters here would never send anything dirty because they are proud of their selling records like you.

You really need to mark down the dsr for description and maybe leave a neutral with a mention of the condition of the item.

No, you're not.

Some don't give two hoots but I find it's only the few that stick out like sore thumbs and we tend to remember those more. Some are simply lazy.

As suggested, use feedback to describe the experience. But keep it factual.

It depends on the item, I suppose, and how it was described, but I largely agree - putting in a little extra effort can help get a better price for one thing, but for me it's a matter of pride and good customer care to make sure an item is in optimum condition before posting it. 

There was a member who used to post on the boards who once received a filthy pair of boots which had dangerous spiders nesting in it (red backs or white tails, I can't quite remember which). 😮

Then there were those woman's jeans that, um, er, well, maybe she should have used a tampon if she was going to be selling the jeans.

I remember that...unfortunately  :_|

You should have kept your first or third IDs, bump

You should have kept your first or third IDs, bump

Why?

This is my new selling ID.

btw I still have the i-once-was-bump ID but want to make it a buying only and keep the feedback private.

I am just being lazy and using the same photo for every ID from today.

[bumps-bargains]

Oh, I get it, I didn't realise which ID I had made my new selling ID.

I had to have a look at the ID history.
