So, I have this bidder. Paid for item promptly. The email me a few days later on 7/22 at 6:30am asking me status. I email them back on 7/22 at 1:30pm that the item is being packed and shipped that day. On 7/26 9:05 am I get another message from bidder claiming they emailed me 3 times to get info on their package and I ignored them. I email them back 7/26 at 11:30 am telling them I did respond, and even forwarded the email with my response. I email them again 7/26 at 3pm asking them to confirm receiving my earlier message. Today, 7/30 I receive a message from bidder telling me they received their item and left feedback. It was a positive, but reads, "product as described, but not a quick responder to email." Though it was a positive, and I could have just left it alone, I felt I was cheated on this one. I emailed this bidder back each and every time within hours of receiving their emails. I have sent them copies of all correspondence and asked them to leave follow up feedback that their original message was false. I also couldn't help but ask them why they left this when in fact, I did answer them quickly each and every time and sent them proof of my correspondence accordingly. I also asked why they held me to a double standard, when I replied within a few hours, and claimed I was not quick in response, and then they take 4 days to respond to my email.
Yes, I know... full moon. I've been getting tons of emails with, "Where is my item??? blah blah blah from people who paid within the last two days. I will tell you right now, that this same time last year I was inundated with about 8 negatives during a month period because of a mixture of retaliatory negs, and impatient people who jumped the gun within a week of payment claiming I took to long to get their item out to them. One person left a neg claiming that their item was crappy. The item was a Nike article of clothing that retails for $75.00 and the person received it for only $25.00. Brand new with all of the original tags attached, model # and full description. Go figure... The freaks come out in the summer.
