Ebay Sellers Drive Me Crazy With Their Slowness
What is it with some eBay sellers? I purchased an item on 28th August, and have just received an email from the seller saying that she only just looked at her email and is away on holiday and unable to post it until 15th September. I think this is ridiculous. It would never enter my mind to list stuff for sale just before I was going to be away. In fact I worry if I am unable to post any purchase made from my business next day. I suppose some people are so used to receiving bad service that they assume it is normal to take the money and not send the goods until they feel like it. Most recently I sold a wind deflector for a Chrysler Crossfire Roadster on Ebay. I was very happy with the price I got, I charged £11 P & P and it cost me £10.99 to send it. We carefully packed it and took it to the Post Office next morning. The feedback the buyer gave indictaes that he is happy with the item and amazed to get it so soon.
I am buying quite a lot on eBay at the present time. I think I am very, very excited about my 50th Birthday cruise to the Caribbean in February. Now is a good time to pick up some summer clothing for very cheap prices. I think it is spoilng me a bit though. I went shopping last week and everything I liked I thought was way, way overpriced and as such I wouldn’t buy it. My recent purchases include water shoes, a sun hat, several pairs of long shorts and some odd items like laundry baskets and guidebooks. I am sure I will get over all of this soon.
Actually I could do with having a good sort out and culling some of my stuff. I usually donate to a local animal rescue for their jumble sales but some of it can maybe go on eBay and make me a few pounds. I don’t see why not at all, in fact it makes a lot of sense especially as my business has gone very quiet lately and sales have not been as good as I hoped. Hopefully it is just a late summer blip and now the holidays are over things will pick up.
