Thread: flea boy

,got my first red x today from a seller
she sent me an invoice which I payed straight away three day later I get another won saying she made a mistake with postage and wanted $4 more and wasn`t going to send the item till she got it and she stated that she wont leave feed back till I did
Well I cost me nearly $20AU to send the $4US
I do have some morals and wont be held to ransom so I gave here a neutral feed back ,needless to say I got a red one but thatsok but what realy pisses me off is the lies
Any way she goes under the name of marysgoround be carefull
Kind regards Peter

I don't know the ebay TOS all that well, but that sounds much like a break of contract or some such thing that should be reported.

If the shipping price is stated clearly, then they have no right to increase it afterwards. I mean, just think, you both agreed to some terms and enter in a contractural agreement. One party can't thereafter change the terms without the others agreement, even if some err was made.

As a seller, I have sometimes misquoted shipping for an item. I will not send an email to someone (who has taken the time to bid on, and win, one of my brushes) asking for a measly 4$ or 2$ or whatever. I just absorb the cost and try to pay more attention next time.

If anyone is in this situation again, let us know. I'd be happy to paypal the loose change (which wouldn't cost me anything to send). I know that some foreign financial charges for banking are extremely high, even for small amounts like this.

And yes, I'd contact Ebay about this. She left you a negative, because you left a neutral, because she &*$#ed up the shipping charges? I think every body who is on ebay should look her up and tell her that we will be avoiding her auctions thanks to her terrible customer service.

Usually I wouldn`t worry and just never go back ,but what I cant stand is bull shit artists especially when the bullshit concerns me in her feed back
so I thought bugger it and I complained to ebay and she wasn`t exactly truthfull describing the item either there was one glaring omission that the pivot pin was so lose the blade could swing more 1/2" each side of the scales, luckly the edge wasn`t damadged and I was able to re tighten it without cracking the scales as it is a good razor I have offered to sende bay coppies of all emails concerning the purchase of this item
I have asked for my feed back to be reinstated to what it should be and an apolagy
let you know how I go
Kind regards peter

I hope you saved the e-mails. They are valuable evidence for your dispute resolution process. She could have her account priviliges revoked for what she pulled.

Well... you could always make an About Me page on ebay and tell the story. then tell people to go there on the "follow up" response to her negative feedback. I've seen that done before...

BTW... I'm glad you outbid me for that razor, now.

well I just got a reply back from ebay concerning this matter ,They dont want to know ,what I was told was that people can lie and say what they want about others so long as you dont break the rules doing so
So I wrote back saying thanks for nothing and I therefore find it regrettable that ebay condones lying and I must find ebay itself compliant in this matter
Kind regards Pete
PS I offered hard coppies of all correspondance which would prove my case,dont want it.
I realy didn`t expect flea boy to do any thing ,their too big ,and obviously don`t care

I think that would be a good course of action....Im shocked that ebay didnt do anything about it. I think Gary Foster works for ebay maybe he has an idea of how you could make them listen....but I think he is busy getting married or soon to be married not sure of the date.

I would certainly reply to the feedback, which you are allowed to do. It will show below your negative, and yes, you could direct them to another page where all of your emails back and forth could be displayed for everyone to review.

I have had three replies from flea boy ,expressing regret but doing nothing , I told them I will have all my business completed in approx 3 weeks ,at which time I will consider my position ,weather I wish to continue.
In my last replyI asked would they prefer people with some moral fiber using their service or people that are somewhat free with the truth,or could it be that provided they get payed they couldn't care,as yet I haven't had a reply ,and don't expect one
