eBay Lunatic!!!!

I just HAD to share this one with you.

Thanks so much Sev for your input!

I'll post the emails in the order received/sent......UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I lost my patience.
Doesn't happen that often but boy she picked the wrong day to 'F' me off!
This is all over a shirt she was trying to get a refund from me for it, as she reckons it had been home dyed.........

Sunday - 11.57am...
"Why did you not tell me this shirt had been home dyed????? It has ruined my suede handbag and white pants after it got wet!!!! Now it is all splotchy and irregular Not happy - pls respond asap."

Sunday 2.37pm - I replied with....

Hi ****** – home dyed?

It wasn’t home dyed – as you would probably notice the tag/s doesn’t have any dye on it,
it would be difficult to dye the shirt without dyeing the tag– it is possibly just dye run, as the shirt had only been washed once or twice….
if I was aware that it was still running factory dye I would have let you know – and apologise that this has happened.

What would you like me to do?

Monday - 4.10pm

"Hi Gina,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The tag actually does have dye on it - I have 4 of these shirts from Country Road and love them - hence buying another on Ebay! I have compared the tags and it has definitely been dyed. I am so annoyed, not only that the shirt is now off colour but that it ruined my handbag and my skirt!

I would expect a return of at least some of my money.

I look forward to hearing from you."

Monday 4.40pm I replied....

"When I posted the shirt it definitely didn’t have dye on it – also if you look at the photo the contrast stitching on the inside of the shirt is as it should be – contrasting – if the shirt had been hand dyed it would have dyed the stitching as well.
I have pasted a photo of the neckline below for you…..

I have been selling on eBay for 7 years, with 99.9% positive feedback –

I would never intentionally risk this over a shirt, especially not in this way.

In your last email you claimed it was a handbag and white PANTS that were ruined, now you are saying it’s a skirt…..…….

So I’m getting a bit suspicious about your claim I must say.

What would you think????"

Monday 5.30pm -

"The fact of the matter, Gina, is that the shirt had been dyed. Was it your own or did you get it from someone else? You crap on about your ebay selling record - did you actually have a look at mine? Why the hell would I bother to complain about a shirt that I love which cost $40? It's nothing but the principle.

The reason I mixed up what I was wearing is that we have just moved house and have crap everywhere. My mother was here from Melbourne so I ducked out for a swim while she watched my kids. That's when I was wearing the pants. The water made the shirt bleed all over my pants and PRADA handbag!!! I got home and threw them into a pile of clothes on the floor and they have also dyed the skirt they landed on. I will send you pictures but at the moment I can't find the recharger to the digital camera."

So now I'm MAD!

Really MAD! So I wrote back with......

"Given that you have chosen to reply in this manner – as you say over a $40 shirt – you’ll get nothing from me.

If you are going to be so stupid as to put a wet, near new shirt next to white clothing I’m not going to be out of pocket over it.

Oh and not to mention the PRADA handbag – very impressive…..it was a SUEDE handbag originally……gee what else did it ruin, your carpet???????

Anything else you want to add to your list?????It’s growing by the minute.

Carry on like this with any other seller and see how long your WHOPPING feedback of what, 213 lasts - WOW.

I was quite prepared to listen to this crap until you became condescending, as well as a liar.

Don’t bother sending pictures, I’m not interested."

I received this response - to which I have left her negative feedback - so she can PRADA that!!!!!!

“Well Geeena, what a delight you are..... of course Prada has NEVER made suede handbags, have they????

You carry on your little life selling things on EBAY....it, for me, was never about the money!”

I could have responded - with something along the lines of "I will - as long as my customers on EBay aren't idiots" but I didn't - no point dragging it out any further! So I responded with "I will, thank you".

People like her make eBay less attractive! Good job they only come along occasionally! *sigh*........
