Patty, Thanks for posting that listing here, and for all of your contributions. They've been helpful and I look forward to reading them. Some people read negativity where there is'nt any.
Her terms were straightforward enough, but as far as the 'hall of fame" being humorous? I dunno, she seems like just a pompous ass writing under the guise of "humour". More pathetic than humorous. Did any of her "twits" really seem so awful that she has to expend valuable time ranting and raving..oh, I'm sorry, I mean laughing and guffawing about her experiences. She seems to get alot of pleasure out of the whole thing, like she can't wait for the next customer to to make a mistake so she can hit the hall of fame again. I can hear her now...."Oh God, another idiot! They actually had the nerve to send my payment in an envelope with a crooked stamp! " That would be good for 1/2 a page I'll bet!

I agree. I did not find the Hall of Fame (Shame?) humorous for the most part either.
It's very easy to be rude. It's more work to be polite and gracious in most of one's dealings with others, but well worth it in the long run. I truly believe that many "pull trouble in" on themselves by their actions and decisions.
But I am the first to admit that there are some people out there that are out to make anyone else's life miserable. They may require some rough handling. I don't think her customers fell into that category. Most people don't. Only something like 2% do. Another 20% may be acting like trouble but they don't specialize in it, they are trying to recover from the 2% that came across their path.
Some people look at someone else's mistake or bad act as an excuse for they themselves to commit bad acts against the originator. They will tell you "something was done to them" instead of seeing that they definitely helped create the situation they find themselves in.
It's a matter of responsibility. One can assign responsibility to others for all kinds of problems.
With the address she could not read, all she had to do was politely email the seller, get the answer and mail the item. I have had the exact situation occur. I cannot read loopy stylized handwriting either. Sometimes it's the numbers, sometimes the name of the street. Easy to find out. But she decided to be rude and get into an unecessary battle. And of course, it's always the other person's fault!

What ever happened to good communication? I know as a buyer and a seller that communication is key. Can you imagine this person working face to face in a customer oriented position? No wonder she's selling on eBay instead of in person. She wouldn't last if she had to actually "listen" to someone complain. It's true...some bidders drive us nuts, but we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect...even though I believe this woman thinks she is. I'll bet she is either single, can't stay in a relationship, or if she is involved, the poor guy is so whipped that she wouldn't respect him and he wouldn't last either. Okay, now I'm just being nasty, so I'll just stop here.

I'm glad she's not my Mom - no more wire hangers!! But I would buy from her if she had something I really really really really really wanted.

Actually I saw her auctions a few weeks ago and had no urge to bring it to the boards. I didn't look at her Me page until this morning and realized I had seen it quite awhile ago.
This seller is doing things her way and now many of you are ripping into her and making assumptions about her age, her relationships, and whether she is ready to be committed to an institution, etc.
Personally, I hope she's sitting there reading all this and laughing her azz off because many of you sound a lot worse than you think she is.
