As some of you know or care to know or probably don't care to know (delete as applicable) I run a business off ebay, mostly. In computer bits. This past couple of weeks seems to be 'attract a ****tard week' on both sides of the ebay divide. However there is some good news so read on.
case 1.
Buyer decides he's bought wrong item. Opens up return case, returns item (but doesnt use the returns system). Fine. Item doesn't get back here. I ask him for any type of receipt of postage with my address on it. The item wasn't worth that much, but if I see the intention was there then that's fine. He says he has nothing. Then he presses the "WOO ****TARD BUTTON". Despite me being fair, he tells me that he scribbled his name off a courier bag and stuck mine on and placed into mail (despite the fact that he could have used the returns system). Now, that's a dangerous thing as it can get lost, or the RM might get pissy if it looks like that has been done, rather than a 'doesnt live here' kinda thing. I point out that that wasn't wise and its probably lost somewhere. I refuse to refund. He then sends me a graphic of what the label would look like as 'evidence'. It appears its something you would create in paint..
He opens up a paypal case with 'incorrect item received' (I countered that with his very own text in the very actual case itself saying how it was HIS mistake and all of the ebay emails), then says he now has a tracking number and the tracking shows its in some random place it was delivered to in Ireland (technically before I sent it to him, but I allow for time travel and space time rifts in my dealing with cases). Not my name, not the same country. Not the same time.
Paypal result.. REFUNDED!!! Yes. He got his money back.
Case 2.
I send a motherboard (always notoriously risky if sending to a ****tard) to italy. Month later I get a paypal case stating the item has issues and the buyer has escalated. No proof, no evidence, no sending back (I would pay if claim is true, a photo with my board connected to a screen with the fault described and refund postage as I always do).
Paypal result.. REFUNDED. Yup, you guessed it... don't worry kids, just buy something off ebay and its yours for free.
Both staggered me. And angered me. The first one was just a comedy of ****wittery I don't think I could have made up.
I phone paypal on both counts and ask to appeal both. I had to defend the first one and yes, I went down the time travel route. At first the person I spoke with didn't comprehend the time line. But kept stating the guy had provided tracking. I asked to speak to a non ****tard with a brain (I was much more polite) and amazingly the guy agreed with me, he comprehended that sending tracking of an item that clearly isn't mine is not a case for getting your money back. He also agreed with me on the second one. Technically I had no problem with the second one if the guy returned the item/or showed fault. But it appears I got my money back too. So I guess paypal lost out this time and two morons got their money back.
Moral of the story? No morals were gained here. All the idiots won. Lie and deceive and you will win. I won too..
