So, last week I had a few poultry problems, for those of you who read and responded to my frustrated rant - thank you I appreciate it. One of my issues was a shipment of eggs from an ebay seller who IMO did not package the eggs properly for shipment. They were placed in an egg carton with a rubber band around it. Of course they were destroyed. I wrote to him twice asking for some way to resolve the issue. He offer to send me more for the same price I had already paid. If he had offered to replace them for the price of shipping and PROMISE to package better I might have done it. But he wanted to total of the original auction price, not just shipping. Why would I do this if the eggs are just going to be destroyed again?!?! I would just be out twice as much money and still have no eggs that were suitable for incubation. He sent me a message after I gave bad feedback...
You are truly a bad ebayer! To leave someone neg feedback for something that is NOT their fault and had offered to help is just wrong. AS STATED IN THE AUCTION I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EGGS LEAVE MY HAND!!! I ship hundreds of eggs a month and DO NOT have a problem with the way they are packed. It is a proven way to safely ship them. The postal service had to be very rough on package to arrive like that. You know this feedback is NOT proper and I urge you to take it back.
Here are my eggs:
I admit I wrote back here is what I said:
I sell and ship eggs myself, and I do not ship like that. In many years of receiving shipped eggs I have not ever received eggs that were packaged in this way. You did not offer to replace eggs or help - you offered to sell me eggs again for the same price I paid before. Why would I spend more money when the eggs are likely to be damaged again due to the way you package? So I would be out twice as much money?! I think people should be aware of the way you package your eggs - I never would have bid if I had known....If this makes me a bad ebayer - so be it.
But, now I find myself feeling kinda guilty - should I have tried harder to resolve the situation? Should I take back my negative feedback?
