Ebay IT'S YOUR REPUTATION THAT'S GOING DOWN THE PAN

A long, long time ago I bought a Nespresso Coffee maker. It was significantly cheaper than in the shops and it arrived so fast that I don't even remember how long it took.

Fast forward 20 years... 

I bought an ID badge printer. With postage it was slightly more expensive than Office works by about 80 cents... still they had it in stock and Officeworks didn't.

Still hasn't been delivered.

They had listed a nearby Newsagency as the delivery address.

When I checked 2 days after they final, final delivery date, the Newsagency stated "oh we always refuse to accept parcels from anybody but TOLL. No one else pays us to handle them".

It was only when I contacted the sender that anybody bothered to update the tracking. We are now 17 days past the original estimated delivery date and I don't know whether just go down to Officeworks as they now have it in stock or hang on until it inevitably get returned to sender and then go to Officeworks.

At the rate Le Send are updating their tracking system it's probably already with the vendor.... Ahhh.

And this isn't the first time Le Send have lost a package... this time I know what the issue is at least.

But if this is happening over and over again, surely they must know what the issue is.

Don't the drivers say "That blood newsagent in Ship Creek still ain't taking our packages" when they return to the Depot?

Ebay - openess and transparency. I want to know how long I have to wait for my goods.

Ebay - compensation for having to wait more than a reasonable time after the delivery date. That way Sellers will avoid half-a*sed delivery companies who just want to undercut AusPost, until Auspost dissapears and don't give a damn about the customers.

Ebay - price promise - if you find the same item in a local shop for less within the week, the difference back from vendor.

Please Ebay there are many other websites, but I've been using eBay for so long I want it to survive and flourish.

Re #2. Supercheap Auto has a thing where if the item you bought comes on sale within a week (could be 2 weeks), they'll refund the difference. Not automatically, you have to actually go to the store and claim it. Maybe the OP is getting confused with SCA or other B&M stores that offer that service. I can't say I've ever heard of that on ebay.

 

As for the popcorn, I've just bought every last pack of triple butter explosion microwave popcorn from the local IGA, so have plenty to go around if anyone needs any. Happy to post. $199.99 for a small satchel. I promise to post express, but will send regular. If you wish to buy, let me know and I'll list it on ebay, so you can leave me negative feedback for excessive postage costs and slow delivery.

Do you pre-pop it, or am I, as the buyer going to be expected to do that myself?

 

As the buyer, I should'nt be having to do anything

 

Is the microwave going to be sent in the same package?

I like it too, and it is not even greasy. I have a couple in the kitchen, and can sell them for $ 49.99 each.

Oh geez, at $199.99 postage, I can't be expected to pre pop it! You can have the microwave free, for another $865 postage.

A note about pickups. It's a big no because then the buyer can claim that the item is NAD if it is not crispy any more.

Then, after getting a refund, the buyer can put the popcorn in the oven and make it crispy again.

No way!
