Who's in the wrong?

Just gone through my past feedbacks and saw one particualr negative feedback that lingers around (last year sale) that bring me to memory lane, which sadly still doesn't seem to have been probably resolved. 

 

This is what happens. A buyer have brought my item when inevitablly I'm cruising on a ship at the time. Cames back and saw the buyer complaining about not receiving the item. Thus, I managed to post the item in the next few day and it get worst, the buyer want a full refund when the item is aleady post and on its way. The refunds and postage cost me more than what I got paid for.  

 

Due to bull**bleep** Ebay's buyer protection service, it keep asking me to produce a prove that I have sent the item (this is before the buyer decided to escalate the problem and before I manage to post the item). Why in the hell it doesn't ask me to produce my travel document (valid prove that you can't get to your item in time)?  

 

Then I got this unfairly judged negative feedback on my profile, stating that I'm rude. How is this rude the only reply I gave at that time was (roughly remembering) 'Well I can't post your item, because I'm on oversea in that week'.

You asked a simple question OP  

 

Who's in the wrong?.

 

A unanimous 'You are' was given.

 

If you don't like the answers you are getting here either move on and forget about it or find another forum sympathetic to your (lost) cause.

I guess I've been born on the era of no one believe each other anymore.

---------------------------------

Things aren't as bad as that, but when you are selling on ebay to strangers, you are doing a business deal & you have to be business-like.

 

The buyer may or may not have believed you when you said you had been away on a cruise but the fact is they probably still felt annoyed at how you handled the whole transaction.

 

I do believe it is possible to forget something is on ebay, but again, you need to be more businesslike-maybe list auction end dates in a  diary or whatever.

Or maybe something as simple and easy as ending listings before walking out the door.

Or born of an era where it's always someone else's fault but your own.
