Ebay grumbling
Apr. 12th, 2009 09:24 amTo the people who persist in failing reading comprehension:
I only ship internationally via priority Mail. This is why I say contact me before you bid for international shipping costs. Do not get all insulted when I send you an invoice after close with a $30.00 shipping and handling charge. The post office charges an arm and a leg for everything now. And while we're at it, no I will not commit postal fraud and mark your item as a gift so you don't have to pay customs tax. It's called following the rules, dumbass, and if you aren't prepared to accept the costs associated with purchasing from overseas, you shouldn't bid. Got it?
For that matter, unless it's individual TCG singles, I only ship Priority Mail. This is why it says Shipping Method Priority Mail in the listing. Do not e-mail me and ask for a first class or parcel post quote. If I offered those shipping options, they'd be in the goddamn listing. In most cases, the difference is only a dollar or two, and yes, I will make you pay that dollar or two so that I have delivery confirmation and am protected from fraud claims. Don't like it? Don't bid, and for gods's fucking sake don't trash me on the DSR. You agreed to the shipping and handling charges when you bid; I charge actual shipping plus a small handling fee, which I'm Allowed to do in accordance with ebay guidelines. Not all mys hipping supplies are free, especially when dealing with shipping TCG's.
And YOU, you ebay neophyte with your zero feedback and your brand spanking new account. When the auction says "payment to be received within three days of auction close" do not e-mail me and tell me you're just getting started and you haven't even set up your goddamn Paypal account yet! That process takes time, and so help me Hannah, if I don't have your payment after seven days, when Ebay lets me file a NPB? I am filing, and offering those cards to the next person down. I try to be nice, but from now on, all bulk TCG lots are going to say, in big bold letters, Feedback rating of 50 or more required to bid on this listing; if you have a lower feedback and still bid, I will cancel your bid. I'm tired of this shit.
And this last, while not horrible, is just annoying to me lately. I do not alwatys stay up until my auctions end on a particular night. Ebay has this nice little section on my seller page which tells me when I have people eligible for combined invoices. So, really, just because you don't get a combined invoice the minute the auction ends, does not mean you need to email me with a "Dude, wtf? I like, one many things last night and need the combined shipping. I don't want to pay individually, or some junk."
Meh. I will be so glad when I'm done with this shit.
