TG-16 with CD dock possibly for sale/trade
« on: April 22, 2014, 02:19:08 PM »
I sold an extra system with CD attachment I had bought on eBay (just so I could have an extra CD unit).  It came with everything, including the US 3.0 system card.  I gave the 3.0 card to Old Rover, kept the CD Rom2, and sold the rest on eBay.  Now, we all know eBay and their weird shipping quotes.  It would not allow me to select more than 15 bucks.  It ended up costing me 30 bucks to ship it standard post, as Priority would have been 63 bucks.  ( This came with the clamshell case too, and it went all the way to CA )  I work a new job, and i was not able to get it out in a timely manner, so the buyer is upset now.  If he decides to return it for a refund, is anyone here interested in it?  I will not be relisting this on the bay due to  the issues I just had.  I knew I shouldn't have taken it to the bay.  But it is what it is.  I am sure I will end up with a negative now, screwing up my 100% feedback..  ugh...  The buyer is totally not being understanding, even though I kept him as informed as possible as to why I wasnt able to get it out as fast as I would have liked.  Lesson learned I guess.

That sucks that the seller is being what sounds to be very difficult. That's why I'm always weary to sell anything on eBay.

Bernie, just be careful with this person. Save all emails and messages related to this. I had some guy bitch about the time it took for something to be shipped even though I was in the allotted time frame. I could see this was an issue early on before he even received it. He attempted to scam me by saying it was broke and it took me a month to get the negative hold on my paypal account removed. do not refund anything and go through the ebay process even though its a pain in the ass. I basically quit selling on ebay when i had stuff to sell after that. Hope it works out.

Well, technically, the buyer does have a gripe.  I took longer than I was supposed to, to ship it. It couldn't be helped, and I kept him informed, but it is what it is now.

Sounds to me like he just want's something to bitch about. I have had a few ebay customers try and pull shit like that too. At the very least, you kept him updated, if that's not enough tell to get bent, shit happens!!

Nah, I'm not going to be an ass back.  We will see what happens.  If he returns it, someone here will get it.

If it doesn't work out let me know as I'll be looking for a dock shortly

But, how long was the delay in shipping?  If it was less than a week then the dude should unknot his panties.  Longer than that and I could understand being a bit upset but unfortunately ebay tends to side with the buyer more than the seller :(

Sigh. Yeah you know I list items for a few people now and then and handle their ebay sales and shipping because they are worried about issues like this and all. It's one of those things where really unless you know you have the time to handle everything right away, don't list it for sale without specifying in BOLD that handling time may be 5-7 days, etc. Even then people will complain regardless, but they will complain less if they know there will be a delay in advance.

Bernie, cry me a river dude.  I can put our conversation here from the very start so that everyone can see exactly what happened.  I emailed you and didn't get anything back for 3 days.  As I told you I will not leave you a negative feedback, however you are in the wrong.  It took you a week and a half before you even shipped the item and you shipped as standard shipping, not as listed in the ebay auction as priority mail.  I needed this for someone that was here visiting from Mexico.  I bought it and they were going to pay me back for the item and were going to give me $40 to add rgb to it.
But anyhow, don't worry I will not give you a negative feedback but I want you to admit that you are in the wrong here.
My apologies to the rest of the forum members, this issue was being handled between Bernie and I in private.

While some of that is a problem on Bernies side, a chunk of that is your own fault too. Unless you contacted the seller prior to buying to make sure they could get the item to you within a certain deadline, no matter what shipping service was listed, you are just asking for trouble. Even then you are not factoring in issues like delays in the mail system or whatever shipping service was to be used. I have had 4 things sent to me via priority mail over the past 3 weeks, all listed as 2 day priority mail, all taking 4-6 business days to arrive due to USPS issues, so don't consider priority mail as a guaranteed time frame, because it wont always be.

EDIT: Also, Bernie, next time you list something for sale for the shipping you can avoid the dollar cap placed on items if you specifically choose shipping cost calculated by weight and location. That means you need to pack the items up before you list them for sell and weigh the package. Either that or weight the items and add a pound or two to the total weight to make sure packing materials weight are covered in the estimate.

The item was bought and paid for April 8th the item has not arrived and it is scheduled to arrive Friday that is is 1 day shy of 3 weeks..  He did not ship priority and took a week and a half before he shipped it..   If he would have shipped priority I would have got it in time even if he took a week and a half to ship.

Doesn't matter at this point, and for what its worth the odds are even if he used parcel select he paid way more to ship it to you then you paid for shipping anyway, due to actual weight and distance. He could have requested more to cover shipping cost, or backed out of the sale due to shipping quote error and ate the negative feedback you'd have left him, but he didn't.

 And it seems you knew he was a member here. After no contact within 24 hours you could have contacted him here as well to let him know you were under a deadline, then he could explain he would not be able to meet said dead line, and you could be refunded.

At this point this is your option, when it arrives you can choose to keep said item, mod and resell it on ebay, or return it to Bernie. Whatever feedback you choose to leave is up to you. Either way you are ignoring the fact that on anything you purchase, if you need it for a dead line you need to contact the seller prior to purchasing it to make sure they can deliver in your required time frame.

Most modders and computer system builders know this by heart, that it is a must to do this when they have a project dead line. Feigning ignorance to that fact alone is going to earn you a ignore and a spot on a black list from modders and sellers here on this forum.

And also, Bernie, please give me this guys ebay id, via here or pm, so I can add him to my black list. Thanks in advance (You are allowed to share his ebay id publicly on forums, it wont violate ebay seller policy, you just cant post his name and address).

(Dont mind the double post, I rarely ever do them :P )
OGHUGO, I am sure at this point you are going to be compelled to run your mouth about how nothing in this situation, not one bit, is on you. In between your griping and public displays of denial, do us a favor and inbetween what ever future rants you plan to post, ponder on the small fact that you got a $15-20 discount on shipping cost, even if it wasn't a method you preferred, and that Bernie, knowing he was being raped on ebays auto shipping cost policy, did the honorable thing anyway and ate the cost and shipped the item out.
