This isn't Star Wars but I thought I'd mention it because some people on ebay just ****ing amaze me and it's the sort of thing I've had before with Star Wars. I was looking to buy some Nike Air trainers and messaged the guy for some more photos because there's fakes about and I know what to look for to make sure they're genuine. He'd posted one photo of both shoes sitting on the box from quite far away. These were the messages between us:
"Hi, I'm thinking of buying these. Can you please post some more close up photos of the tongue patch, side logo, back logo/plate and the sole. Cheers,"
"Hi, sorry what you see is what you get, you can zoom in on the picture, I don't get requests for more pictures to be fair, there has been no complaints from any of my customers, if you are in doubt or unsure whether to purchase my items you have the choice not to as I do not expect returns, once you have paid the item is yours so it's entirely up to you."
"Well that's a rather strange and hostile reply. I'm obviously asking for some more photos because I can't see exactly what I'm getting. There's a lot of fakes about. I can tell if they're genuine by the parts of the trainers I mentioned. If you can't be bothered to post a couple more photos for me then you're not a very good seller and you won't be getting any business from me. And by the way, anyone can return your items within 14 days for any reason they like"
I just don't understand the mentality. What a dick!!!
EDIT:
Oh my life! I just got this back from him:
"For you information I don't accept returns can you read? No hostility my end pal and why would I want to sell to someone I clearly am am aware is insinuating I sell fake goods, I don't exactly know what you assume your going to purchase elsewhere for the price I sell for these retail at £120 a pair, and it's not the fact I can't be bothered to send more pictures its just you I won't send more to as I've already sussed you out and your assumptions as for that you pop along to j.d. Sports good luck and good day"
