Bad ebay note! Help

[ViennaSound]

Anybody an idea what i can do?

The story:
Found at a residence cleaning (cellar) an old R2R portable.
He told me if i can throw it on ebay with an starting bid 1euro.
So i did for him.

While the auction i got a mail:
" Where are you located. Maybe i get it myself. But don´t write 10. district or such ****! I want the exact adress"



I gave her a place 2 streets away.
I´m not an idiot to give it before bidding..

Finally she won it for 1euro, because of no other bids.
And i´m not a pusher.

The next mail i got:
"The shipping price is too much.
This must go for less money"

(she is on the other end of austria, so what for the question about my adress??)

:annoyed:

Ok, to get no troubles i only cashed the pure shipping.
The packing material and so not.
Defizit for me.

Same day the money arrived i shipped it very well packed!

And yesterday i looked like a fool when i read my note!
I fell down from 100% to 96,7%
NEGATIVE NOTE
Text: " Not good enough cleaned before shipping!!!"


I wrote her, that´s not fair.
It was cleaned outside, but not chemical clean.

Denied from her!


So what can i do to make anything against this idiotic wife?

Have a member of the mafia ring her door bell and punch her right in the mouth. Then tie her ankles to the car bumper and drag her down the street. Dump her back in her front yard and give her a Band-Aid bandage. :annoyed:

Oh, and that idea comes from "Drag Rap" by the Showboys. It's the first thing I thought of.

Not good enough cleaned???
Did your auction state it was new and clean inside out?
Hopefully ebay will be able to help you out about the neg feedback.
it depends how you worded the aution though. Good luck.
I hate ebay.

I never list anything for anyone else.... There are places people can go if they want to do that.

Sorry Roman. Some transactions are not worth doing no matter what. I would not have sold it for 1 Euro, no matter what. That's because with every transaction, there is always a risk of negative feedback from asshole buyers like that. Brand new buyers are especially prone to giving negative because they don't know the implications of throwing negative feedbacks around.

For 1 euro, the shipping is probably much higher than than. If a buyer complains that they didn't get it, that its' not as described, "not clean enough", or some other such nonsense, then there is a chance that you may have to refund the purchase and shipping, Since you only sold it for 1 euro and then will have to eat the shipping, in cases where there is a refund, you would be out of pocket. Again, I don't think these are transactions worth doing and definitely a case where it's better in the trash than to pay ebay listing fees, final value auction fees, paypal fees. What's left of the 1 euro after that? The demanding nature of this buyer prior to purchase was already a clue that this was going to be a difficult one. Again sorry you have to go through this. Anyone that's been on ebay long enough, will have dealt with situations like this at one time or other.

As for this transaction, all I can say is forget it and move on. Your life will be so much better if you can put it behind you. You can diminish that negative by responding to the feedback left so there is a note (your side of the story), then buy lots of stuff and insist on feedback (which will dilute the negative). In a little while, your feedback will be back up to 100% because ebay only takes recent feedback into consideration when doing their calculation.

hey roman --not really much to worry about -

-because any future WIORTHWHILE ebayer--
will naturally read that negative --see that it was a ONE EURO sale !!!
and see that it was given by some new idiot buyer

i seriously doubt that it will ever have any effect on your ebay career--

also --i read norms reply very careful reply --and he is quite correct about everything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then --heed spuds advice !!
ie --NEVER do that

if you feel like doing a friend a favor --
then wash their car (or scooter)

drive them anywhere --buy them beer-

but DONT sell their stuff on ebay .

ok

 

[eldorado]

i wouldnt even mind about that

roman

ask her to change the feedback.

if she doesnt,

just dont care.

 

[ViennaSound]

Usual i don´t sell anything for friends.
But this has a reason.
@ the residence cleaning i found some (mono) boomboxes, tons of original sealed old taped, multimeter, oscilloscope and many more.
And i got it for FREE from him.
So i just wanted to help him selling the unneeded units.

This was the machine:

The packing:

Sometimes i think ebay is a mafia.
No possibility to get a revenge to such idiots, because you can give no negative note to the buyer.

Roman, you are probably one of the nicest people I know on here and this sucks that it happened to you :annoyed: - I wouldn't sweat it, I believe in a year it doesn't reflect in you rating.

 

[ViennaSound]

Thanks boys.
The last i can do now to write to ebay and send them all mails from her.
If no reaction, i know what i will think about ebay...

Roman it really isn't worth your worry, don't let it get you down. We know your a good man so who cares about the noob idiot, this is the risk we take when dealing on eBay. For someone to complain about a 1 Euro plus shipping deal shows the character of this person and since eBay sides heavily with the buyers you probably won't get any satisfaction. If she didn't send the emails through the eBay system they likely won't even accept them but it doesn't hurt to try except for your time.

Put this behind you brother and let's get back to the enjoyable part or your life and show us some more of those Flea Finds.

My biggest eBay days are behind me, both buying and selling. To much stress, cost and risk for big items.
