How I hate the avg ebay buyer during tis holiday

- Start date
I never leave feedback first when selling. The transaction is NOT over until they receive the item. Just because they paid does not mean its a done deal. I shipped the item...its a done deal, right? Its of course my fault if it takes 3 days to go from CA to New York, and if you were not home to sign for it when the Postman dropped it off. Alot of buyers think that as soon as they pay, the item ships, just like at a normal B&M store. Sorry, we still have to package it up, drive to the post office, wait in-line, etc. There is no damn teleporter in m house.
Ive done close to 600 transactions on ebay with 360 feedback. That means a little less then half never lleft feedback. Guess what? They never got anything back in return.

CAGiversary!
[quote name='Sailorneorune']Expectations are a little high for sellers, don't you think? I send items the first postal business day after I receive payment for the item.
Then again, my post office is very close to my house. Not all sellers are that fortunate. Time is also an issue, as some sellers, like electrictroy, have lives, families, and jobs.
The 'I want it NOW!!!!!!' mentality of our culture is frickin' annoying, and I seriously doubt free money and meaningless sex can cheer up some of the really inconsiderate pricks on ebay.

Not sure why I noticed this out of every thing, but RightStuf has the SMJ Ultimate collection for $69 shipped.

[quote name='dougeetx']Exactly! I mean! What's the use for paying for the priority if you don't get priority service?[/QUOTE] If you buy priority tomorrow & I ship Friday after my job's done... you'll have your game by Monday or Tuesday. One Week. Vice-versa, if you use media mail, you'd get it mid-December. That's the difference between prority & normal - about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks saved.
If you want faster than one-week priority delivery, than you should be buying *2nd day* or next-day delivery, not priority. --->You also should be shopping amazon where they work 24 hours around the clock just to please you, not some guy working out of his basement or living room (like most of us ebayers). That's just common sense.
The reason I don't offer next-day ship is simple - I've got better things to do. My job pays me.... well, a hell of a lot more than my Ebay sales. I'm not going to waste an hour Monday morning, packaging a $10 ebay game, when I can go to work an hour early and get paid an extra $50. So I only offer media mail & ship at *my* convenience (friday after work). Ebay's not meant to be a fast delivery service, so you can buy your son's birthday present today, and have it by Friday. That's not Ebay's purpose.
Sears Ebay has a ~94% rating. As long as I'm doing as good or better than Sears (or Penneys or Macys...), I figure I'm doing alright. Those stores have been around for over 100 years, so they know what they're doing.

I answer all of these with the same response, "Thanks for writing. I leave feedback once a month, at the end of the month. Saves time. Check on December 30 and you'll see your positive feedback."
