Did you block them the first time? If so I believe you can report them for unauthorized bidding. Not sure if my term is correct there but then maybe you can cancel without having to wait for the unpaid item assistant? Just a thought. Anyway, that’s just mean to do to someone. Sorry
I had a forty eight hour stretch of no sales. The last four days have averaged 40.00 a day on a 1700 item store. So it wasn’t just you…
Sonia,
I do have that ability. But this was a few months ago when the return/refund process was changing. I used to be able to call and get the rep to agree with me and then do a partial through PayPal and then they would close the case right there. I was hoping I could do that again. I couldn’t 🙂 It was worth a try…Jay I’m sorry I didn’t phrase that right. He said to turn them in for extortion before I get a negative and let ebay handle it. I thought it was interesting. I can’t see them doing anything before you get feedback but hey who knows…
Sonia – I have free returns and that is exactly how it worked for me. The eBay rep agreed that the customer had not read the description and defective was not the correct return reason. She too told me to reach out to the customer and partially refund her. I did and never heard back from the customer and the return closed itself out automatically.
This isn’t creepy but I had a first yesterday. The lady bought 4 skeins of yarn and opened a return request because they weren’t what she needed. Okay whatever. I get them email buyer shipped and then I get an email. I need another label I only sent two skeins back by accident. Um nope. I wrote her a sarcastic email in my head 🙂 and then replied sorry but I cannot do that. She shipped the other two back on her dime… Goodness
I hadn’t thought of selling jeans! I have been posting shoes and shopping for shoes because that flat rate is much cheaper than what you would normally pay on ebay. It makes sense to post all of your heavy things on postmark. I have 55 items listed. I have 1500 on ebay. I have pulled some of my things out of my inventory but normally just list my new inventory. I build my ebay listings on my computer. Then I open my app on my phone and take all the photos. If I have something I want to list on Poshmark I create my ebay listing and write down whatever I’m going to put in my postmark listing. Then when I list the item on ebay I close the ebay app and open the postmark app and then list it there. It’s already laid out for pictures and yes I think it takes maybe an extra two minutes. Posh doesn’t require many details but I try to fill in all the boxes and include basic measurements. Waist, underarm, etc. The love feature is nice because if you like something and the seller wants to they can send you an offer and it has to include a shipping discount! Overall it’s been a very positive selling experience.
I much prefer the iPhone to android for listing. The picture uploading process is much easier.
We live about 30 yards from the gravel road. That is not bad when people drive like human beings but when we have maniacs flying by at 378 MPH (possibly a slight exaggeration) and we haven’t had rain the dust boils up and gently floats through the air into my house and onto my line dried clothes!!! Otherwise I love my gravel road but if you’re looking at a house on a gravel road and there are no trees between you and the road drive down it super fast and see where the dust goes and if you can live with that. 🙂
Ouch Liz! That’s quite a morning! It’s amazes me you can have the nicest string of buyers and then you get a string of jaw droppers. I hope you can get that cancelled without a problem! Wow.
No but I got a buyer saying are these shoes light blue or navy? I answered and they didn’t buy. A week later I get the same question. I answer again. I also mention I offer free returns if they don’t like it. She says she doesn’t need chambray she needs NAVY BLUE. I apologize. She comes back nice and asks if I could invoice her and she will buy. I say I cannot invoice but she can make a best offer. At this point I am getting a bit nervous about her. So my phone makes the best offer/bid noise. I pick it up to accept but it doesn’t show I have a best offer. Clicking into the listing it says the best offer was declined. Which I did not do. As I am writing an I am not sure what’s going on here I didn’t decline your offer note. I get a not in all caps about how since I declined their offer please take them off my bid list. So my gut feeling confirmed I cancelled their bid and blocked them. Then I tried to figure out what was going on. It was an auction and she had bid and then sent me a best offer. Ebay automatically declined the offer since there was already a bid on it. So I wrote and explained what happened and she is back to all nice and I want to buy your shoes! Why won’t your site co-operate? 🙂 Sometimes you just have to laugh..
