so she said she had already cleared her account!
i said hang on, what about all the ones you said were posting to you before their cheques cleared? (she told me others had no problem with it, and she had other items on the way) ive kept all the messages.
told her no one likes a scammer, and id reported all the messages (and i did)
yeah yeah shouldnt have warned her, but couldnt help myself!!
the other seller said she bought stuff then had medical appointments, (i got the im on a pension line too) and then came back and changed the sizes, and then said she had a diagnosis and couldnt pay.
call me skeptical, but gees buying on ebay sure is lethal to relos, and your health. id love a dollar for everytime ive had that excuse. makes it hard for those in genuine need.
and yes ive blocked her.
as for my feedback, once i put the non payer through, it will be removed, and if not, ill wear it as she is the scum of the earth, and people need to know it,
cheers
So she's on a pension, but can still sit there and spend over $200 with one seller in a day (then cancel them all) and she can afford 2 airfares to England? I get mad when people throw the pensioner line with me. If you are a pensioner and money is so tight and precious, STAY OFF EBAY!!!
I've only had a few upset buyers (3 or 4 in total). One sent me a vile message saying how I had deliberately tried to rip her off because she's on a disability support pension. How dare I rip off pensioners! She had spent over $100 with me, yet then screams poor.
I think the ONLY reason I didn't cop bad feedback out of that transaction (even though I gave her a partial refund) was because I fed her a (fake) sob story of my own. I went into syrupy overdrive. Profusely sympathising with her situation because I too am a carer fo my husband who had a terrible bike accident years ago and is now totally dependant. How I can only work one day a week, which I do to have a break from him. How I'm only selling all this stuff on eBay so we can save up some money to go interstate and visit his son and grand daughter who is nearly 2 and he's never met. I got a very sympathetic reply and no feedback. 2 can play at that game!
I know that was probably a low act on my part, but I saw red when she straight out accused me of blatantly ripping off pensioners. I don't vet my buyers and ask if they are on a pension of some sort. I don't really care. As far as I'm concerned, if they have bought one of my items, they must have the money to pay for it.......regardless of where that money comes from.
If your buyer does neg you, wear it with pride. A good response will show her to be the difficult one.
