Am I being a bit picky?

Received today a handbag in an express satchel.  The bag had no wrapping, or plastic for protection just put into the satchel.  Also the description was new with tags, all I found was a small piece of white thread inside the bag.   The condition of the bag doesn't look new, it has a couple of little dents to the clasp but don't know if this happened in transit.  I bought this bag for a wedding this weekend and I intend to still use it but a little disappointed.  Not sure how to mention this to seller.  Advice appreciated.

And what is wrong with that?


Those  are not faults (under the act for second hand goods we don't even have to particularly say anything much - unless item is rendered unsusable - feel free to check with Ebay) as well as Cons. Affairs.


and luckily, nearly 15,000 people agree with our  judgement on the condition of the items. If they indeed find a thread hanging - not many would complain - would you?


And  besides, that's all academic as we offer returns anyway, even if one doesn't have a reason.


I do admire your diligence in trying to find faults, just a bit bewildered about your motivation.


But what the heck, someone has got to crack the whip around here and bring sellers into line.


People who reside (dwell, inhabit) on the boards are still best jor that job, I suppose.


Cheers, Helen.

I havn't heard anything from the seller for a couple of days. I mentioned again that they are responsible not AP if item gets damaged due to no wrapping and the issue of item not new with tags and a request for a partial refund.  Will wait a few more days and if nothing, will leave feedback.  Would this be ok...


Bag arrived damaged due to no wrapping,not new with tags. Not happy.


 


I want to be careful and not leave feedback that can be removed.

FB looks good and as Hawk said


Only leave 1 DSR where appropriate as that will do more damage than leaving 0 DSR's

I also agree that the FB is very well said.  0 stars does not count; 1 or 2 will damage seller's performance rating.

I have left the feedback but not got a response yet.  Looked at the sellers other items and there is an item of clothing listed NWT.  Googled the seller and found them in the society section of their local newspaper wearing the same item,  they should revise their listing as used.   Just confirms that the bag i won that was supposed to be NWT was used as I suspected.

ITEM DESCRIPTION should mean exactly that and the item should match the description upon its arrival. It is also sellers responsibility to ensure that that the item is packed correctly and protected, so once received you are not left asking whether the damage existed all along, or it happened in transit.


Contact the seller and state these points. The feedback that you leave should reflect not only her / his willingness to resolve issues but the description itself. Most issues can be resolved with communication, so I will advocate strongly for it!
