People on ebay make me so angry.. No joke, it’s got to the point where if I didn’t have such an extreme online shopping addiction [or at least window shopping lol] I would stop using ebay altogether. I sold 2 items on ebay 2 weeks ago. I packaged said items up, but I was a bit slow in doing it as I was very sick and had the flu. I let both buyers know that I was very ill, and whilst I was able to package the items, there would be a delay in posting them as I couldn’t get to a post office as I was sick. I also stated that my partner works full-time, couldn’t get to the post office before it closed, but that I would try and get someone to do it. Didn’t matter anyway, because I ended up having to go back to work, so posted the items. Done. Next thing I get emails from the buyers telling me they haven’t received their items and it’s been nearly 2 weeks etc etc etc.. I email back explaining that I had told them I was sick and would post them as soon as possible, and BOTH buyers, email me back and pretty much said I was sick for too long. They pretty much said they had expected a delay of a day or two. A DAY OR TWO FOR THE FLU? Some people are just horrible. I mean I know they wanted their purchases, and I felt terrible about it, but what on earth can I do when I physically can’t get out of the house. Not to mention I hyave a notice on my ebay account that states “Will post with 5 working days of cleared funds.” .. so if I post within 5 days, it takes 2 working days to get there, then technically the goods were only 3 or 4 days late, which fits in with the delay they had originally expected in the first place!! What do you think of this?
