Was reading feedback comments for a couple of sellers and buyers, and noticed that there is a language all of its own.
"Inconsiderate"
From Seller: Buyer Negged me for sending this person a boatload of junk
From Buyer: Didn't believe me when I said that 'one half of the family is dying, the other half is pregnant'. How dare they doubt me, even if I keep on bidding.
"Impatient"
From Seller: Demanded that I send package in same fiscal year as payment.
From Buyer: Negged me after only a month. I have a job interview Monday, when I get that job I'll will pay soon!
"Doesn't obey TOS"
From Seller: Bidder doesn't understand that shipping means actual cost of postage plus $20 of handling to ship their $2 item to them.
From Buyer: Seller doesn't understand that it's too hard to read the TOS, it's easier just to bid.
"Rude"
From Seller: Bidder had nerve to question $20 handling charge for $2 item.
From Buyer: Seller had nerve to ask for payment.
"Poor communication"
From Seller: Sent customer steaming pile of broken crap, gave me neg without contacting me first
From Buyer: Seller required me to actually open my email, I thought seller was going to send their EOA through channeling my aura.
"Reporting to BBB and eBay"
From Seller: Got called on sending crap, so I'll threaten the buyer.
From Buyer: Seller wouldn't let me switch goods, so I'll threaten to contact the two places that will do nothing for me.
