Hey All,

Just a rant to blow off some steam.  Don't feel like you have to reply.  I buy
and sell quite a bit of legos on Ebay.  Have had mostly a lot of fun and good
times up until now.  In a big lot that I bought a while back I got a complete
armor shop #6041.  It was 100% complete, the only thing missing was the box.
And it was in perfect condition.  It must have been displayed under glass.  Very
few scratches, no dust, no wear.  Perfect.  I almost kept it, but my lego fund
was low and I already had another one.  So I sold it on ebay and shipped it
through USPS.  The bidder never asked for insurance, delivery confirmation,
tracking, etc.  You see where this is going?  The bidder says they never got the
item and I believe them.  They wrote to me and asked for any information I could
send them to help find out where the package had got to.  But with no tracking
number this is difficult, right?  I emailed them a copy of the receipt, showing
that is was mailed and all that.  They wrote back very angry and cussed my out
for not giving them the tracking number, like I was hiding it or something.
Then they left me negative feedback, saying that I "won't" give them the
tracking number.  My first negative feedback.  I have a 128 positives and HAD
100% positives.  No more.  They also had the nerve to say that it was impossible
for them to request tracking and insurance, because they paid with Paypal.
What?!  Oh man, I am ticked.  This all just happened.  Yes, I will get over and
life goes on.  But right now I am pretty steamed.  I am going to go build
something now...

Josh

(...) It's too late for this transaction, but for your future sales be sure to list that you require Delivery Confirmation and that the buyer has to pay for it. PayPal does not make it impossible for them to request tracking and insurance: in fact (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Not to sound unsympathetic and all, but all of that stuff is technically your responsibility, not the buyer's. Contrary to popular belief, the buyer is only responsible for guaranteeing arrival of payment. Upon receipt of payment, the seller (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jun-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Those no-good Orcs!!! They probably PURPOSLEY did that!!!!! If the number doesnt exist, then why do they keep demanding it? Why would you want to hide stuff like that? you lost your set, too! I am pretty ticked over Goblins like that, too! (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.castle)
