Check this out...Within 10 minutes of each other, I believe I am currently dealing with the worst of bidders, and the best of bidders.
Item #1)
His email:
Why are you charging $1 shipping when a stamp only costs .34?? I have gotten several xxxxxxx on ebay and have never paid more than .34 S&H! In fact a lot of times shipping is free on these!
my response:
$1 was in the terms of sale...
If you did not like it, you should not have bid on it...
However, I will accept a SASE if you want to do that
His response:
What a rip off...Believe me I would not have bid if I had noticed...Guess I learned my lesson that there are people like you out there..Next time I'll read more closely
My reply to him:
I am not sure what your beef is, I said I would accept a SASE...
Contrary to your belief, it does take time to list these items, and it does take time to package things up, and ship them in a timely manner.
I am sorry that you don't think my time is worth anything, but I do.
I am not sending these to you for free, I should stick to my original terms of sale, as those are the rules, however, I have decided to accept a
SASE because you had a problem with sending $1...I tried to accomodate you, and this is the response I get?
I am a very good seller, I wish eBay had more people like me, at least they'd be honest, as there are plenty of cons out there.
It is your responsibility to live up to the terms set in the auction, many other people wouldn't alter those for anyone, but I did.
I want to make this a pleasant experience for everyone, so I will take a SASE in place of the $1 for shipping...
Please confirm this is acceptable, and when payment arrives I will send them out
thanks

Item #2)
His email (the auction isn't over until Tuesday night) :
I just wanted to let you know that if I (Ebay ID edited out) win the auction that you have on ebay, I will not be able to respond to any of your e-mails until Thursday night as I will be out of town until then. Thank you!!!

Talk about total opposites!
The first guy is not satisfied that I broke my own TOS to accomodate him, and the second guy is telling me in advance that he might not reply until Thursday night, in case he wins...
