the only thing I have to ask is this:
is someone allowed to make a mistake once in a while - and apologize
for it + offer refund - without being excoriated by a buyer &
publicly lambasted?
I don't know who the seller is, but his response seemed to be very
fair. Myself, I might have asked if the seller was going to be paying
return postage for a mis-described item and I'm certain, with as
reasonable as his email response was, that he would have agreed (or she).
as to the comment Michael made:
the fact that you said one hand doesn't know what the other hand is
doing, and there is no one overseeing the process, doesn't exude
confidence to buy expensive items from you. accurate descriptions is
so very important.
I think that's hitting someone below the belt Michael. In the case of
myself and Anna, my secretary.... Anna comes in on her own time. She
has a key and my alarm codes to go to the office when she wants to to
do her work. Currently, because she lives on the far west side of
town, and her son goes to a school at the far East side of town (by
her choice) she comes to the office after she drops him off and works
from morning until she needs to leave at about 2:30 to pick him up from school.
I on the other hand am a vampire. I get in between 1 and 2pm. So our
cross-over time is a very small window, and only 4 days a week, so it
is very easy for me to not know what she is doing. Fortunately she
does a great job, I trust her and I don't need to know what she's
doing 99.9% of the time
People are not perfect Michael, including yourself and as long as a
dealer is acting in a reasonable and fair manner, I don't think they
need to be derided by customers having fits over what is a minor
issue if it doesn't entail any serious complications and what the
dealer said to you is nothing like the horse's ass I'm dealing with right now
I bought a Monroe color photo from someone .. and again, the item
only sold for $1, probably because his shipping is $10.95 (I don't
know why, 99.9% of all my problems with sellers on fleaBay are for
inexpensive items). well for the $10.95 in shipping this horse's ass
got, he put the photo in a padded envelope with no freakin cardboard
expecting his "do not bend" means something, plus of course it only
cost $4.95 to send so he's treating shipping as a revenue stream.
anyway, the photo is useless now. I messaged him.. no response, so I
filed a complaint with PP and he says he'll give a refund ONLY IF I
PAY TO RETURN THE PHOTO
these two situations are 1000% different
naturally I messaged this fool what is about to happen (that I will
leave feedback appropriate for this transaction)
no bigger.. just another fleaBay schmuck willing to sacrifice his rep
for a few dollars. it's called "a lack of moral character"

when a poster is "not as described" or has undisclosed defects, it

i am waiting for the seller to confirm this.
i was happy to see that the seller read my posting on MOPO, and
responded, but he needs to confirm that he will pay the return postage.
