I agree about being pissed about the inventory error. However, getting an item that is not working happens (for whatever reason. It may have been shipped from the manufacturer defective. It may have gotten damaged in transmit. It doesn’t matter. Shit happens, and it’s not 100%). However, as a consumer, I reasonably expect that if I send an email on Sunday complaining about the situation, that I should give the company at least to the next freaking business day to respond, donchathink? ---

Check their emails more promptly. People are legitimately wary of sellers on eBay, so maybe those guidelines that differ for eBay sellers versus stores cut both ways. If you want to be a power seller on eBay, you need to check emails daily so you can respond to problems. There are a lot of conveniences that come with being an online seller: you don’t have to maintain a physical store and you have a much wider reach. But there also are some unique burdens too. That’s not too much to ask. ---

> [@Blaster\_Master](#): > > But here’s the thing, that’s exactly what the feedback should reflect. A good company should have a high positive feedback; worse companies will be lower. It shouldn’t be the responsibility of the customer to try to make judgments about how you do as a company overall. All the customer can do is make an assessment of their personal experience and whether it was good or not. I completely see your point. That’s why we have two negatives and hundreds of positives, and our rating is over 99% > [@](#): > > That’s what makes the eBay system bad, because if everyone makes allowances for that sort of stuff, it could actually be a more systemic problem but no one notices because no one leaves negative feedback and it makes it useless for actually evaluating the quality of a business. This I don’t agree with. There are some things that are inexcusable, and then there’s the way a human mistake is handled. If a waiter spills stuff on me and the manager comps my meal or more, as an apology I accpet the apology and would not fault them for it. It wasn’t fun for me but life happens. Their reaction to a mistake, and MINE, are both indicative of who we are. What pisses me off as a consumer is when a company makes an error and then tries to cover it or deny it, or acts like I’m an asshole for even complaining politely. As in the example above, when someone doesn’t ship an item for 10 days and doesn’t communicate with the buyer about the delay, that deserves a negative. If i am owed a refund and they just don’t do it for a week or so, that deserves a negative. There are also the options of leaving no feedback or leaving a nuetral {rather than a negative} if you feel an error was made but handled promptly and professionally. I repeat, it’s a judgement call, but after years in retail I judge by how an error is handled, becasue I know they are inevitable. ---

Can you point out a few online businesses that promise to answer emails in less than 24 hours? That’s how I answered this one. Do you think it’s reasonable for someone emailing a problem to at least wait till the end of what is widely accpeted as a BUSINESS DAY for a response?

That’s just crazy.

This wasn’t with ebay but I had someone ask what took so long for you to reply when they sent their inquiry ten minutes before, also had a inquirer post on a board asking if I took a long time to answer emails and then they said they did realize it was one am where I was but still answer! :rolleyes: Note that both of these were just inquiries not current customers. My theory is that it is related to blackberries and iphones etc, these people have a tiny pocket computer that alerts them to a email 24/7 so they expect everyone else to also have one. ---

It would never occur to me to expect a response outside of normal market hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. And, even then, I would give the retailer at least 24 hours to respond. Which is certainly a reasonable expectation and I responded first thing Monday morning which was before 24 hours had passed. I think as a consumer I might hope for a response by the end of the next business day , so if I sent it early AM of one day, I’d like to hear something back by close of business hours the following day, but I wouldn’t freak out if it took two days. Seriously, does anyone expect their local store to have call forwarding and answer calls on Sunday when they’re not open? Of course not. I understand that customers buying online can be worried that a problem is going to be a huge pain in the ass, which is why I respond qickly and assure them the problem will be solved ASAP, but it’s not magic. There are certain reasonable human limitations. ---

> [@stpauler](#): > > Ugh, eBay. I’m almost done with my drama and glad it’s over. Here are my war stories: > > End of February, I decided to get rid of a lot of my songbook (sheetmusic) collection. It’s taking up space and while I love a lot of 'em, I never play them anymore, so it’s more showcase than anything. So, about 400 books go up on ebay over the course of 5 days. I offered bundle shipping via media mail to the US only (that way I don’t have to guess on what things cost and have a little more control over it all). I then wait until people pay before shipping out items as some are buying over the course of several days to save shipping, I’m completely cool with that. > > My Ebay nightmares: > > Problem 1) Person in Dubai wins an auction even though it’s US shipping only. She DEMANDS I still sell it to her. She wasn’t the first, I had someone from France do it the day before but she offered to pay $25 for shipping. So that’s the same offer I give to the person in Dubai. She refuses and leaves negative feedback without paying. Ebay hasn’t refunded me the amount to list it or go after her for bidding on a book she couldn’t buy to begin with. Grr. > > Problem 2) A book I listed in fair condition as it was a bit banged up arrived and one of the pages was loose and there were pictures and everything. The book cost $2.25. My policy was to take anything back for a week if the buyer wasn’t happy, they just had to pay for shipping. I offered to refund the buyer the money but he said it would cost more to ship it back to me. He then left negative feedback. > > Problem 3) This is the worst one of them all. So every day I would head to the post office for 8 days straight (we have a PO that’s open on Sundays). I used the same packaging all 8 days for the books. On one day and only one day I shipped books, packages had disappeared from the mail. One person eventually got a package with the wrong books in it. I assumed I screwed up and put the wrong label on the box and apologized profusely. Turns out that he got books that belonged to 3 different buyers. WTF, I must have really screwed up. Nope, turns out the USPS did. I figured this part out when he sent me back the books. The package I sent to him was a little over 14lbs. The package of books he received was 27 lbs, damaged, and put into a new box. I’ve sent requests to the mail recovery center (dead letter office) but haven’t got anything back yet. So, I’m out a little over $700 because of the post office’s mess up (and mine for not getting insurance. Ebay sided on the side of the buyer for all of 'em). But during that whole time while trying to sort this out, two of the 4 buyers? Complete a **holes. The accusations that I did this on purpose pushed me nearly to the edge of telling them to f** k right off. > > I’ll probably still buy stuff off of Ebay, but they definitely lost a seller. I don’t have the patience or customer service skills to do that again. I feel for you seriously. I’ve been surprised and frustrated at how little my local USPO gives a dam. They left packages at my door even though I live in the first apartment on my floor. Everyone that goes by obviously walks by my door. I discovered the problem when a seller on ebay said the tracking number said delivered, and then I found an empty box with my name on it. They’ve delivered the wrong packages to me and delivered mine to the wrong place. As I said, I understand honest mistakes , but the casual , who cares attitude about thier screw ups was infuriaiting. They actually said, “well you never specifically asked us to not leave them at your door” Well yeah, I though common sense would do that. and , “you never complained about other packages missing” Well that’s because when they don’t show up I contact the sender rather than you. Now I know better. ---

> [@Cheshire\_Human](#): > > Years ago, I read a poster on the wall of a business, something to the effect of: “To the customer that _got_ the defective unit, your defect rate is 100%.” The point being that no matter how good your defect rate, you should strive for “Zero Defects”, because the only thing your customer has to go by is his _own_ experience of your performance. > > He doesn’t (and _can’t_) know about the thousands of perfectly functioning units you’ve shipped. He only knows about the bad _one_ that _he_ received. A negative is not only understandable, but is also only what you deserve.

The second, posted before _anyone_ could reasonably get a chance to address it, was just plain assholishness. You mentioned that the “customer” was running his own business in the same field, possibly in competition. What chance that it was an attempt to game the rules in order to undercut your “perfect” defect rate, and gain himself more business? I get the defect rate bit and have already agreed it was a judgement call on that forst negative. Again, maybe because of my perspective from being in retail, as a consumer , when a problem arises I’m not happy, but I realisitically understand that these things happen and that’s how living and shopping is. I judge the seller by how they deal with the occasional and inevitable problem. If they take good care of me that’s a good sign I can rely on thier customer service comittment and will do business with them again. Make sense? ---

Makes perfect sense. That’s why I said your second guy was an asshole. If there’s a problem, I would expect the seller to make an effort to make it right. If they do over-and-above, _I’ll_ give 'em a positive, despite the problem. But if I were a seller, I wouldn’t _expect_ a positive, no matter what I did to make it right. A mistake is a mistake. So the first guy gets a pass on the negative. The second one, though, didn’t even give you a proper chance before laying on the negative. That’s dickish, and as I said in my previous post, you mentioned that he’s got an eBay business of his own, which makes me suspect he might have pulled that in order to sabotage his competition’s good rating. ---
