Wish I could warn you...

Wish I could warn you guys about my latest buyer:

16 negs left for sellers, with lots of "did not arrive"

Must be Australia's unlukiest buyer.

She's just bought from me, so I have yet to send her item.

I will, of course, add tracking at my expense.

Fingers crossed.

I for one would like to see the following item added to the Buyer Requirements:

Block bidders who have left 3 or more negatives in the last 6 months.

From memory Stalks, before Lithium took over there was the occasional eBay presence on the boards, I suspect that the amount of flack they got here put paid to them returning.

What's the odds they do actually have a gander now and then but aren't game to chip in.................................?????

I had a look at that member's FB.

 I can't believe that out of a host of different sellers all over the country, not a single item ever seems to arrive.

If the 'appropriate dept' at ebay can't see that and act on it, then they are blind.

I have to admit that after having sold things on ebay over a few years a while back, I've been a bit turned off returning in a regular way as the current ebay seems a lot riskier for sellers in some respects.

I recall a couple of years ago when a pink was 'active' with that Spring or Autumn update.

Even though she assured us she would be there and responsive, not a single legitimate question was ever answered, nor was anything explained.

It was a (failed) PR exercise to show they cared, but they couldn't even provide the resource of ONE empowered/knowledgable employee for a couple of weeks.

The Aust Post rep that used to come here (I can't think of her name) was more helpful on eBay than the pinks.

[imastawka]

Hey yeah.   The Aus post shop used to have someone checking out all

the complaints on here.

They must've given up too. 

[go-tazz]

They probably realized how negative people thought of them and their services and realized the problems

were to big to handle and gave up,

When I sent a message about a freebie scammer on the eBay Facebook page they were removed a day later.

Guess what happened when reporting the next scammer,(nothing done to them and a generic reply to me),

It's as if they'll help you once but then give up as it's to much hassle,(especially when they know the

scammer is from China and it's more difficult to get those removed as they have "managers" that stick up

for them),

Because to the rest of the world we are a tiny blip island in the middle of the Pacific, way down the bottom of the earth. Therefore, we don't matter as much as the massive countries like the UK. A lot of yanks think we are smaller than Hawaii. They have no idea we are the same size as the US.

Geographically. We have 5% of the population of the US. And 30% of the UK. Demographically we are indeed a small blip in the Pacific

[*tippy*toes*]

Our populations would be similar if 3/4 of the country wasn't uninhabitable! I think that's why the yanks think we are so small, the population difference. They get a shock when you show them a comparison map.
