But isn't "maintaining my metrics" an important part of that so my account wouldn't be negatively affected?

So what is your seller rating? mine looks to be 4 out of 100 because I missed one message since I was out of town.

I also shipped one item on time but the buyer wrote a complaint about late shipping when I still had a day left so that ruin the score a bit too.

I already emailed Amazon about this, but I'm interested to hear input from you guys, too:

I sold a brand-new Wii U Gamecube Adapter on Amazon on 1/21 for roughly $55 after fees/whatnot and shipped it off within the next day via First Class w/ USPS Tracking. The buyer contacted me two days after the initial purchase (1/23) to say that he was leaving the country on 1/31 and that he wanted to be assured that the adapter would arrive before then; I told him that according to the USPS Tracker, it was set to be delivered on Monday, 1/26 (yesterday), and that he had no reason to worry.

Fast forward to today, and the buyer sent me this email:

I think this might be BS, as both Amazon and USPS show that the adapter was "Delivered" yesterday. I'm afraid he's trying to scam me here, and I wish I had added Signature Confirmation. :headache:

As I said, I asked Amazon for their thoughts on how I should handle this, but what do you guys think?

While it does seem the guy is trying to scam you, it could be an issue with USPS. I ordered something from a CAG a few months ago, and USPS entered the package as delivered, but no package was ever delivered. They didn't bother to leave a notice for pick up either, so I contacted the post office, and I was able to get my package.

Maybe this is just a result of a lazy/incompetent USPS worker?

I wouldn't call the dude playing Torch (Michael B. Jordan) a nobody. He was awesome on Friday Night Lights, where most people probably know him. In a bunch of movies since then too. I'd say he's about as well known as Chris Evans was when the first F4 came out. Granted that one had the Chiklets guy and hot hot Jessica Alba. What am I talking about again?

The most known cast members I would say are Kate Mara or Jamie Bell, but even then it's on the level of not really knowing by name, but "hey it's that guy, from that one thing." My guess is they feel the bankability of comic book hero movies is strong enough right now that they don't need the star power (or the big paychecks that go with it) in order to draw in crowds, the IP is the star of the show.

I really liked Chronicle so I hope this works out ok, otherwise its probably going to tank the director's career.

I don't think you can see seller ratings on amazon, just feedback. I could be wrong though. If you haven't sold on amazon before it's a very strange dual measurement system. Every order you fulfill has metrics that contribute to your (private?) seller rating - mine is like 83/100 because I had to preemptively cancel one order out of 50. My feedback (that's public) is 2 five star ratings because nobody leaves feedback. So it still looks like I'm a relatively new seller despite having to file tax information for the amount I've sold on there.

That is very plausible too. I actually had over 20 packages delivered to the wrong address in the past 2 years. I guess they aren't able to discern between Trailcrest and Trailview. Luckily the person who lives there is cool and gave back my mail. His daughter is hot too.

I love that seemingly random throw in sentence at the end.

She's hot, but I guess I am disappointed that she isn't dancing like Jenneke.

How many of those wrong address accidents were on purpose?

"Hey, if I fill out my shipping address wrong..."

If that's the case, then suggesting that he contact his post office really was the best thing to do.

I have 40 lifetime ratings--39 positive and 1 neutral because the buyer was dumb (no, seriously)--and 22 positive ratings over the past 365 days despite selling 100+ items over the years.

 
But if the buyer files an A-Z claim and Amazon approves it then they will give him a refund and take the money back from you, no?

I'd be far more worried about my money then my seller metrics.

lol WWE fans are going batshit crazy over the Royal Rumble results.  I don't know too much about what happened, but that is weird.  It's like threatening to cancel your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription because your team lost, or like a chick who stops watching her favorite soap opera because one of the bad guys gets away with something.

I think there's some ethical grayness surrounding it which is understandable. It's why I keep discussions about it to a minimum. I'll occasionally throw out that some of us do it but I don't go around actively recruiting.

I got in on a few Dying Light codes but already sold my spares.Thread on gaf is approaching 30 pages so I can only imagine the SD & CAG ones. A complete mess and I suspect it'll only get worse as tons of people had pending purchases. I didn't even know what the game was about before this and it's probably shitty but whatever. I debated getting a few codes for people here but figured it would be scoffed at for being "digital and over $5.00!!!" lol. GCU is still the better route if you don't plan to keep or share it though.

Getting Grim Fandago later today as well. Excited to try that finally. Reviews look good. Love being free from the clutches of Destiny!
 
anyone have an extra resistance burning skies online pass? Im renting it from gamefly.

also someone start up some huge game with tehcro to slow him down on trophies. Im busy playing cod and dragon age mp where there are no trophies at all and my lead keeps diminishing by the day...

The internet wrestling community/smarks didn't like that Roman Reigns won the Rumble because they don't think he's ready, he sucks on the mic, hasn't had many singles matches to prove himself being a legit contender, etc. His incarcerated hernia injury that took him out of action for 3 months is a big factor in that and whoever is writing his promos, rumored to be Vince McMahon, isn't doing him any favors. I'm not pissed about it nor would I cancel my subscription. The amount of fantasy booking and overanalysis of a scripted, predetermined sport that goes on. Christ, how I hate most of them.

I think you mean Resistance: Burning Skies, right? I am guessing there is no online for the PSP game :)

 
Vig, did you get insurance on the package when you bought postage from Amazon?  I always do, just in case they fuck something up.

I did have an item I ordered off of Ebay show as delivered 5 minutes after they received the package from the buyer for shipment once.   It showed up on time but no tracking info was associated it because of that.  I was just like WTF USPS.

Lol, I stopped caring about wrestling after the WWF switched to WWE. I do have some good memories from WWF though. My favorite was when Stone Cold Steve Austin filled Vince McMahon's car with cement, I still get a good laugh out of that.

Almost have the family May vacation to Disneyland fully booked.

Trying not to be the cheapass my parents were 30 years ago. (Hey, we'll stay at this hotel one night because its cheap and move to a better hotel the next day)

Next up, figuring out to medicate everyone's behavior problems so we have an enjoyable trip!

Gator, so far I had the Blanche, Don de Dieu and now I am having the Maudite.  I really liked the Don and now I like the Maudite.  The Blanche was good, but I can drink a Blue Moon for much less and be happy.

 
I had to go to the bank today. This new teller was being super bitchy, so I thought maybe she was having a bad morning or maybe she's just that way all the time. But I could tell the moment my account popped up on her screen because her whole attitude changed. Funny how that works.

I don't know if she thought she was going to get a tip or what. Or more likely, management just directs her to kiss ass to only certain customers, which is bullshit.

 
Thats just life as a baller Harry.  I wish people would kiss my ass just cause.  I would make them do all kinds of shit and then leave them hanging.

I am not surprised by that view of the beers. I expected you to really like all of them except maybe the Ephemere. The Blanche is a damn good wit beer, but like you said not worth the price of admission to have it in the rotation. Save the $ for the better ones they make.

This was just the best way to try the other ones from them.

I am a bit surprised you would have enough in any account with a regular bank for the teller to even know how much you had. I hope you dont have millions in a standard checking account.

By "bank" he probably just means the hole in his back yard and by "teller" he probably means the gopher that hangs out around the shoebox with all his money. That's the safest way to go right there.
