You'll see that my profile is actually extremely respectable. I have my doubts about yours.

She has 11 positives and 1 Negative for non-payment. Soon to be two negatives.

Under that id I have 499 positives 1 negative and 6 positives converted to neutrals.

I responded:

On your planet not paying nearly 15% of the people you owe may be respectable. It isn't on this planet.

This is from the bidder that decided to ruin my "no shipping charges complaints" streak. CURSE HER!


Her comment made me laugh.

Anyone else have any funny comments from buyers today?

another one, courtesy of the jinx placed on us by the 'shipping whiner' thread...
this afternoon's comment of the day:
Hi I won the xxx. I live in Los Angeles is the shipping fee necessary?
The e-mail definitely made me chuckle but yes, even California blondes pay shipping

Yes, I had a good one. A buyer who took 42 days to pay, received the item 6 days after that, then gave me a neutral saying "took 42 days to received item", well, yes it would, she took that long to pay. I gave her what I felt was a well deserved neg. Her comment to me was " I hope you feel better now, I am going to report you to eBay for unappropriate (think she meant "inapropriate" emails, I was just being truthfull". Oh yes, how can it be truthful to give a neg. comment on a neutral feedback, when SHE was at fault!!

BTW, that was my second shipping issue since that thread started (after no complaints in over a year!)
yesterday's stupid shipping comment:
Dear Valerie - ...also, since I won three auctions, will the shipping still be 2.50 ? I thought it would be because all items are small. Thanks!
I clearly stated in the auction (in 2 places) shipping would be $2.50, $1 for each additional auction won.
My math says that's $4.50 per auction terms.
I had already sent an EOA with a $3.50 shipping charge (note: savings of $1, I'm such a sport) then she wants it for less because of the size?
last time I checked, the PO used weight and distance, not size.

the full text of my response was:

On your planet not paying nearly 15% of the people you owe may be respectable. It isn't on this planet.

If you had "doubts about my feedback. You would not have bid on my auction. Like every deadbeat and murderer you have an excuse and someone to blame for your behavior. What will it be next? Your cat brutally beat you during your formative years? You are color-blind and got the wrong color? The kids on your block throw rocks at your house and you bid to escape the pain? The Wee Folk that live in your garage stole your password and went on shopping spree?

wgm: Thank you. It is odd though...I think selling in a brick & mortar store is what made me so brutal. Dealing with a nut in person is far worse than the ebay buyers.

She responded tonight with:

Your sarksam is not appreciated. I will leave you a negative. I have other ids and buying on ebay will not be a problem for me. I could bid on your auctions again and you would never know. If the shipping is the same, I will leave you a negatives.


She has responded from three different email addresses. ALL of the emails are connected to ebay accounts. ALL of them have negatives for the same thing...Not paying and complaining about shipping. Buying is about to become a problem. I turned her in to ebay.

shop4shoes >> You gotta love them freaks! The ones I truly enjoy are the folks that CANNOT EVEN SPELL. Takes some of the vinegar out of their complaint.

Reading your response, I have to agree with wgm! I've had a few bidders/crackpots as well, but my email responses probably wouldn't be appropriate for this board

If I am lucky. She has bid on quite a few items using her other ids.

Yes, that's why I suggested it-so you can find out as many as possible to block...

shop4shoes: Not that I'm sad to see her go, but why specifically did eBay NARU her and her multiple personalities?

Probably from feedback extortion or "stalking."

You can't threaten to bid on an object for the sole purpose of leaving bad feedback.

There's no rule against having multiple ID's but there is a rule against abusing the system.

Fluffy: The id that she used to bid on my item, got the boot for false contact info. I don't know why the others got suspended.

shop4shoes, it's a shame you didn't get to mess with her head a little bit more before she got booted. Of course ... she'll probably be back ....

I was feeling puckish and decided to see if "sarksam" is really a word in any language. Turns out it perhaps means "pendulum" ... in Turkish. Clearly what she really meant to say was "I'm a turkey who deserves to have a wrecking ball (the most obvious form of pendulum, at least in this case) at my head." It was a cry for help.

Ah. Thanks. That wasn't clear from the earlier info.

While feedback extortion is a no-no, about the only thing I know of that will get you a swift, sure boot from eBay is false contact information.
