I'm so sick of ebay! I've sold a lot of stuff over the years and have rarely had problems but the last couple of weeks I've had nothing but PITA buyers and this last one takes the biscuit. I'm so frustrated that I could cry!
I sold a lovely Phase Eight dress for £25, I bought it a couple of years ago for a wedding but never got round to wearing it. It was in perfect condition and £25 was a real bargain. The buyer was nagging for me to send it Special Delivery but didn't want to pay the extra cost (because apparently I shouldn't charge anything for postage so by paying for 2nd Class Recorded she is actually entitled to Special Delivery! ). I offered to cancel the transaction and refund her but said I wouldn't be paying for Special Delivery. She says no, actually 2nd Class is fine.
THEN, as soon as I had posted it & sent her tracking number she says "I can't afford this dress any more, I want to send it back, give me a refund etc", I explain that I don't give refunds and it clearly said this in the auction, and that I had offered to cancel the transaction and refund her before I posted it.
The day that the dress was delivered she opens a claim against me on eBay saying that the dress is damaged. I responded to claim and asked her to send photos of alleged damage. Buyer has just uploaded pictures of the dress, she has completely vandalized the dress! She has torn the skirt up the front and has something that looks like nail varnish spilt all over the bodice. I am so angry at the cheek of her! I am going to phone ebay this evening but I've heard so many stories about them siding with the buyer in all circumstances that I'm worried they will tell me I have to refund her.
