Seller says what???

9 years a regular seller and they say what??

 

Conditions of Sale:

1. As much as I would love to be able to personally hand deliver your item - I do not work for Australia Post. I cannot be held responsible if they fail to deliver your item for whatever reason. Any concerns I am happy to do registered post as an extra cost to the buyer.

2. Due to the number of non paying bidders with under 10 feedbacks, please contact me before bidding if you are in this category. Otherwise your bid will be cancelled. Accept my apologies in advance. 3. If no contact or payment is made within 5 WORKING DAYS then an unpaid item report will be lodged and item relisted. 4. Occasionally I come across what I consider an unreasonable buyer. These buyers are blocked. SO if you are blocked from bidding do not contact me and whinge about it. There is a good reason I have done it. Ebay have taken away nearly all of the seller's right but we still retain this small one.

4. I describe items as accurately as possible but sometimes I may miss something so please b4 leaving feedback send me an email. I am sure a solution can be found.

5. Enjoy the Ebay experience. My aim is to make every transaction as positive as possible for both parties.

Re: Seller says what???

For every difficult buyer that may prevent it will probably put off 10 times as many good buyers.

 

Just bad business.

 

Many will read that as "Got a problem..speak to the hand, as the ears aren't listening, I'm having a tantrum"

 

It amazes me how many sellers ruin their own sales by what they put in their listings and feedback responses.

ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL STUFF UPS!!

Re: Seller says what???

I hit the back button really fast when I see that a seller describes things as accurate as possible, or to the best of their ability.  I usually read that to mean they make "a few mistakes", and as too many sellers don't think they have to be responsible for their own mistakes I prefer to avoid the possibility. 

 

I especially run very fast in the opposite direction when a seller says a buyer can never make a mistake, yet it's okay if they do!  I see it quite often where sellers expect payment virtually straight away but they don't expect to post straight away.  I'm not saying everything should be done to suit only the buyer, but if a seller thinks they're the only one who matters they won't get my business!

 

Seller can't even count to 5 because there are two number 4's.

  grin.gif    Hahahaha  -  I didn't even notice that.   Well spotted

 

 

IMO most buyers won't scroll down that far on the listing anyway

(it's right on the bottom)

I agree, sellers selling issues are just that the sellers issues.  Not a buyers issue, who has landed on the listing page looking to buy something, especially buyers who do the right thing all the time anyway.

 

It is not 'professional'.

lol "professional"

 

As professional as the service provider that hosts our listings ???

 

Personally, never subscribed to a less "professional" outfit than the eBay mob, ever ... whilst other large companies customer service areas I have dealt with may have been cowboys and careless in some areas on some occassions, as far as I can tell eBays customer service could never hope to meet the same standards it seeks from sellers.

 

For example, the customer service advice that one gets when one has time to waste provides a level of service that is so low in terms of accuracy and knowledge of the policies and procedures of the organisation that employ them,  than most reasonable residents of Oz would have ever thought possible. Whilst the information and advice that may be given is relayed in a parrot like "polite" fashion, it is invaribly flawed, either on a actual policy and/or acutal procedure basis, overall content or just missing some essential information or details. 

 

lol "professional" check out the length, detail and complexity of the terms and conditions of eBay (as well as the "tone") and apply the same standards to them as you do a small seller that does not have billions at their disposal.

 

As (a depleting) number of regulars frequently post - "if you don't like the rules you have a choice"  ... don't buy from those sellers that have terms and conditions you don't like - go elsewhere ... lol ... please Cat Happy
