Listening to the Voices in My Head

If you sell something, and it's crap, or not quite as you have described, I will say so.

Two different sellers, two different e-markets.

Amazon seller sold a used CD. I had no problem with it being used, as the seller said it was in "very good" condition. It arrived, and the surface was obviously scuffed and scratched. I was able to rip the contents to my music directory, and with audio tools, remove the clicks and hisses. I gave her a 3 star rating. She kept sending me messages, claiming I had buyers remorse, and there was nothing wrong with the CD. The kicker is this: it got tapped by AQIS for having a foreign substance on it, and I took photos of the notice, the bright yellow and black AQIS tape, and the report. Sent them to her. She changed her tune, and said I was expecting too much.


eBay seller. I bought a silicone case for my S7. It arrived, and it was so loose and flaccid, my phone would fall out of it. I emailed the seller, included photos showing how it didn't fit on the phone. He offered me, I kid you not, 50 cents refund. "That is one helluva scam. You sell something for $5, and even with photographic proof showing it's faulty, this is your offer?" I reported him to eBay, and my money was refunded by eBay. I then gave him a neutral feedback rating, stating "Didn't fit phone, phone would fall out. Money refunded". Seller sent me a message, I am presuming is whining about the neutral rating, but tough shit. He was damned lucky he didn't get a negative rating.

Seriously. This is the second time in a week that I've opened a parcel, an undamaged parcel, only to find the purchased item was damaged. Seeing as there's no damage on the shipping carton/package, it means the item was packed for shipping, regardless that it was damaged!

My old "5 Million Years To Earth" dvd wouldn't play all the way through, so I ordered the remastered blu ray version. Opened it up, thought that maybe a disc had come loose because I could her something moving. Removed the shrink wrap from it only to have pieces of the disc case shower down. The damned thing was actually damaged before it was shrink wrapped, fer gossakes! I took photos of the damaged case, and sent it to the seller asking why waste my time sending an obviously damaged item?





The good news is the discs themselves weren't damaged. I have ordered a 2 Disc Blu-Ray case, and I will see if the seller of the damaged case blu ray will at least refund me the cost of the case.

Eyeforjunk is trying to say that the item was perfect, and $42.50 I had to pay was tax value, or import duty. Uhh no. For one thing, the item was used, and another it was under $200.

Below are the scanned documents from AQIS. The only thing I altered, was my home address.







He has no clue who he is messing with.

Especially one of the extensions/add-ons called "Scrapbook". It has come in handy for online auctions. I have "Scrapbooked" all of my won auctions, which shows when and with what I paid. Why is this so important?

Short story: Seller T-Dimension12: He had 5 Lumix batteries listed for sale, I bought 2 of them and paid for them immediately through Paypal. Two weeks later, after I queried as to when I could expect them, he emailed me saying they were sorry but they were out of stock. That can happen, but what I found rather underhanded is he filed an Unpaid Claim against me so he could get his sellers' fee returned, which prevented me from giving him negative feedback. I am 100% certain had I given him the justly deserved negative, he would have given a retaliatory one.

I did get a fake apology and my money refunded, but I am so happy I could take a screen cap of the saved page, and email it to the SOB.

Yeah yeah, I know the adage "Caveat Emptor", however...

Some mook on ebay had this advertised: "Stargate Atlantis Season 2 Brand New and Sealed Boxset". They weren't for Australia region, but what the hell, I have a multi region DVD players, so that's not an issue. Since we have season 1, figured go ahead and get season 2. I pay them, and await their arrival.

They arrived promptly. How to put this. The box might be from a new set of DVDs, but the ones inside are bootlegged/pirated off the SciFi channel and some other satellite station.

File a complaint with Ebay and Paypal? You betcher sweet ass I did.
