my little ebay rant.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

So... i've started this little side business of buying and reselling things... clothes, mostly... north face, mountain hardware... that kind stuff.

anyway, my issue is with the people that bid on and buy the stuff i'm selling...

i'm sitting here on over $100 in sales that people haven't paid for yet. i go back to work tomorrow and can't really ship anything out until sunday.

if these bastards would just pay for their shit i could ship it today!!!

some of the things sold today. i could totally be an awesome seller and bust out some same day shipping, but no... they don't pay when they win... they wait...

one woman waited 5 days!!!!

the shit thing is, ebay makes you put a handling time on your items when you sell... i have 2 days to ship the thing out after they pay... but they have how ever long they want to pay me! the hell is that crap!


and why doesn't my damn shift key work on this laptop? only the right side works. i don't capitalize with my right hand. i use the left. what the hell. what. the. hell.

Well.. I'm not sure if you know this or not.. but since you ship USPS you don't have to go to a post office.. You can schedule a pick up online from your front porch! Bam.. get home late.. box it up.. have usps pick it up

can't even do that until the people pay... the ones that kill me are the ones that bid with just a few seconds left... then it takes them 2-3 days to pay with paypal. they know the damn thing ended. they know they won. pay for the damn thing!

Get over it, get past it and get used to it. Not a big deal. I've been buying and selling on ebay for years. That's just the way it is.

Shit bro, I've been selling on Ebay for over 8 years & I'm just happy when they pay before I have to send more than 3 emails! It's Ebay & it isn't changing......."Serenity now"

I "accidentally" bought 10 .50 cal cans off of eBay. People kept bidding the price up so I figured I'd have a little fun - next thing I know there's 40 pounds of ammo cans at my door.

LoL! I used to do that also. Also, bought something from a foreigner, but didn't want it. I begged him to let me out of the deal but he did not, I waited 3 days, then gave him 10 star rating (this was back when you could look up people and 'profile' them. I figured he was foreign with not so great command of language. I said something like: Really fast shipping, excellent product, ********best on ebay!
He was selling so much crap I figured he was not going to remember me or look me up. He gave me a good review and I didn't pay a dime! hahahha.- Hey, I could use one of those cans for a sauna stove if you wanna throw one my way.

I've only had one or 2 slow sales, one I gave a bad review after 2 emails, and she cried about that, another just dragggged it out for like 7 days, after I had already bought something and was waiting for the $.

if they use a "bid sniper" they don't actually bid. they have a service that bids for them by computer...they get home and find out they won the auction 3 days ago...
