So I HATE that as sellers, we cannot leave negative feedback. I sold Orpington eggs on Wednesday and boxed them that night. The buyer contacted me Thursday morning and said their incubator was broken and they couldn't get the eggs for a month. I told them these were the last of the season so no eggs until spring. So now I'm out the listing fee & final value fee. I offered them to the other bidder and they didn't want them, either.
I also had a Sumatra auction running at the same time and I used to sell eggs before they were laid and do 7 day auctions. That back-fired because I sold two batches of mille fleur cochin project eggs and then of course, my girl stopped laying.
So this time, I gathered eggs and did 1-day auctions.
My Sumatra auction sold and guess what??? The SAME person bought those eggs that backed out on the Orp deal. They asked if I could ship the 15th or 16th!
So now I'm out THAT listing fee/final value fee, too.
This person has 100% good feedback and everything...but I'm totally frustrated. Now, I have TWO boxes of eggs...just sitting here...going to waste. Sighs.
