Okay, so just to recap here Carly...
> Three times you broke your promises that you made to the buyer.
> Instead of posting within 3 days as per your listing, it took you 9 business days to post, despite being aware on day 5 that the buyer had a deadline to meet, and despite knowing when you did finally post on day 9 that it was very unlikely to make that deadline..
> The delays were no-one elses responsibilty, only yours.
> There is good reason to believe you were aware that the seller wanted a refund at the time you posted, but you posted anyway.
> In order to try to disprove the above premise, you have contradicted yourself by changing your story subsequent to the 'facts' that you yourself had attested to earlier.
> regadless of the circumstances, by failing to post in a timely manner as per the listing conditions/promises set down by yourself you thereby failed to honour the contract of sale between yourself and your buyer.
> you claim to not be a regular user of computers (even though your long history & relatively high volume of ebay activity seems to suggest otherwise) yet you chose to sell online, so even were it true this is no excuse whatsoever.
> throughout the entire process you have refused to accept responsibility for what has been your failing/mistake, and continue to do so, and are expecting/insisting that the buyer pays for your mistakes.
This is all very dissappointing Carly, you were thrown a lifeline here by myself and others, inviting you to recognize and accept responsibility for your having failed to deliver on your obligations to the buyer, and taking this as an opportunity to do right by the buyer & remedy the situation. Had you done so I had decided that I would myself go to bat for you and plead with the buyer/OP to forgive your mistakes and not hit you with negative feedback, on the grounds you have an excellent past history as a buyer & are only quite new to selling so are still only learning. It was apparent that I may not have been alone in pleading your case so I felt confident this situation was entirely redeemable for you, had you taken responsibility for your own mess.
But no, you continue to refuse to accept any responsibilty & come back with yet more excuses, and not only that, you change your story and directly contradict yourself to try to make your version of events appear more excusable, ie it very much looks like you out & out lied.
But it's not enough that you stubbornly refuse to claim ownership for your own mistakes & insist on trying to stick the buyer (who was faultless) with the cost of your mistake, you add insult to injury by calling in the cavalry in the form of someone by the name of Jodie, who comes in here and completely disregarding the facts of the matter or your cupibility in it, instead starts ranting & insulting the buyer and blaming them alone for your mistakes.
Do you and Jodie really think we were all born yesterday? Jodie from 'Melbourne' (ie. your neck of the woods), first ever post on the boards & it just happens to be in this thread, it completely ignores all the facts in this matter along with the opinions of numerous objective seasoned ebayers that have posted on the topic, 100% blames the buyer (who's only mistake was that she bought from you), 100% exonerates the seller (you) of all blame, and then proceeds to insult the buyer.
I MEAN SERIOUSLY????????????? How gullible do you think we are?
My money's on Jodie being your sister. Am I right? She is clearly either related to you or is a friend/work-mate, either way, it's truly despicable behaviour from the pair of you.
Sorry Carly, I'm done with trying to help you... ejoy the negative feedback when it arrives, you certainly deserve it.
