Am I being unreasonable? Ebay ? UPDATE #27

[okeydokey]

HOLY MOLY that went down fast!!

I just won an auction an hour ago, one bid , red ralph lauren boys shirt in like new condition.

Seller immediately sent me a note when it ended saying "sorry I don't ship internationally. "


She lives in Kentucky and I live in Louisiana.

I am hoping she just misread, but in my gut I have a feeling she isn't happy with the 8.99 sellling price.

I paid immediately with paypal and let her know I in fact do live in the United States. Interested to see how this goes down.

At least she has a perfect rating.

That's hilarious!

OMG. She is a real piece of work.

I also buy items from estates, garage sales & thrift stores so I have NO CONTROL over certain smells & will leave that up to the new owner! Please contact me first, if there is a major problem. About used merchandise, even if it’s NEW WITH TAGS, I’m sure could take a magnifying glass & find some small defect or perhaps you’ll need to run clothing thru the wash, so if you are THAT picky, I SUGGEST YOU SHOP AT RETAIL STORES.

This would have been a real turn off to me. I shop in thrift stores myself and you know what ... I leave the stinky items THERE. I don't buy them and try to resell them!

Because we all know that expecting to be able to use the item as it is intended is really being picky and not a major problem and not having straps for a backpack is just a small defect you would have to see with a magnifying glass!

I knew her terms and was prepared for some wear, and even a stink (Febreze and baking soda are my friends). I figured I would be fine because I am not PICKY! And I do understand why buyers have these rather "unfriendly" terms because of the wackos and nutjobs they often have to deal with. Unfortunately in this case the nutjob turned out to be her!

The bag is actually in brand new condition, It is obvious it hasn't been used at all so I was very happy with the condition. As soon as I can find some straps for it I will probably enjoy using it!

Cheese and crackers! Contact her first if there is a major problem? What's a major problem?

Off to ebay to look at her listings . But first I have to play detective and find her.

I'm sorry I missed this thread yesterday. I LOVE backpack purses. They are the only ones I get because of a bad back, but also, walking around NYC loaded down with shopping bags and having to walk a good distance, I love that I can just wear my purse on my back.

Yes, I consider the straps an actual part of the bag. It would be like ordering pants and only getting one pant leg.

OP, I'm glad it worked out for you.

Since all the hardware is there, maybe you can find long skinny belts to loop into the hardware. Or go to a thrift store to see if you can find a couple cheap shoulder bags where you can take off the straps. Some are attached by those dog clips. Maybe you can just clip them onto your backpack purse instead.

The notions & accessories dept of a fabric store might also sell skinny leather straps you can cut to size.

Didn't you know the other side of the Mississippi River is "overseas."

Plus, you French speaking or Cajun accented people are foreign.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to laugh but DH and I are sitting here cracking up and how insanely stupid this is. What is wrong with this person? How is it supposed to be a backpack, you walk on all 4s and balance it on your back?

For sure file a complaint. Hopefully you paid with Paypal. Good luck and while I am sorry for the headache, thanks so mcuh for shaing a good laugh.

That's what I was thinking.

OP, you're not wrong. How can anyone call a bag with no back straps a backpack? I mean, the straps are what makes it a backpack.

Do these gloves have 5 fingers in each?

To be precise, don't you mean four fingers and a thumb? You wouldn't want to be misunderstood!
