Undersized percolator and toxic dust masks

[weblightaustralia]

I bought a percolator advertized as a 4 cup maker. It held less than a cup. It was not even enough for two shots which means that no amount of fact twisting could cause the term "4 cups" to mean anything. I gave negative feedback

The buyer has contacted me five times asking me to change the feedback and guilt tripping me about hurting his business. I have refused and written back using words like "ripped off" and I will not be taking the feedback back.

Before that I bought fifty paper dust masks which turned out to be sour from chemicals. That is the second time I have bought dust masks and had them be unusable and about the fifth time I have bought a toxic face covering. Some of you are not feeding  back honestly. If you get a toxic face covering give it bad feedback and do not give in to the whimpering of the buyer. I cannot do it alone. Several of these things got past me because I simply gave a good feedback when they arrived in good time and I couldnt change it when they turned out to be toxic.

Ebay could consider a Facebook feedback change key for us when we feel some item is crud after we have made our first impressions in feedback

I can buy a percolator that has the amount of coffee it holds included in the description and on the box maybe with a sticker because I can see if it will suit me but selling them with incorrect descriptions is illegal in Australia and could get the whole Ebay thing shaken up if it were to continue.

Did I cover that well enough?

I didnt notice the sellers negs. Either did the 1147 buyers before me I suspect. That would indicate that the term "Expresso" is a bull**bleep** term only people in the know understand and which is not clearly noted anywhere except in some dim coffee sellers book. It certainly isnt on my list of offgicial weights and measures and checking online in the first three sites I can find that convert that the only "cup" measure there is 8 fluid ounces or 250 ml.

I dont have to understand technical language when buying online, nor understaood weights and measures that only people in the "know" get. The difference needed to be explained. I have yet to order an expresso at my local coffee shop and get a shot glass. Pretty sure they dont even supply them

I see a whole slew of problems that Ebay is dumping on me rather than fixing. Ever heard that unhappy or confused buyers go elsewhere?

Agree with you on banning anything unsafe but we have to find them to do that. I regret letting them slip past when I just gave feedback on the first lot without trying

In my Wiki, Nespresso is pods and a brand name

---

Nespresso is the brand name of Nestlé Nespresso S.A., an operating unit of the Nestlé Group, based in Lausanne, Switzerland.[1] Nespresso machines brew espresso and coffee from coffee capsules, or pods in bar machines,[2] a type of pre-apportioned single-use container of ground coffee beans, sometimes with added flavorings. Nespresso is a premium price coffee, and by 2011 had annual sales in excess of 3 billion Swiss francs.

The company sells its system of machines and capsules worldwide, as well as the VertuoLine system in North America.

Next time you're at your local cafe, watch and see how much coffee goes in the cup.

About 25ml, btw. The milk for anything that's not black is added after and certainly doesn't come through the machine. Unless it's Maccas or Hungry Js.

But with milk it goes to 35ml

So point out the official weights and measure site that takes this into consideration. What my local cafe does is not how I measure the hertz of my electricity or the volume of my bathtub. The package did not even say "amended to suit the practices of some local cafes"

Cup is a measured amount like liter or litre and centimeter. We do not buy according to the variable centimeters discovered by measuring individual builders thumb length for instance

How do YOU measure the hertz of your electricity? It is the frequency, in cycles per second, of alternating current and is 50 in Australia. End of, not subject to sellers' or buyers' opinions. A cup of expresso coffee is what the expresso machine expresses into a cup. Coffee only. Ever. Maybe you shouldn't use those toxic face masks you bought. They seem to be having an effect.

Go back and leave a followup comment to the original feedback.

There is no time limit on doing that as far as I know.....I know of comments that have been left 2 years after the original feedback.

The seller will still have the chance to leave an answer though.
