While browsing Ebay I saw the following in a listing:

"i use the shipping calcultator for shipping so dont whine about the price afer the fact. We don't ship to P.O boxes unless it will fit in a standard size mailbox , And if I have to go to the post office to ship something to a P.O. box, there will be a Twenty dollar charge for that. i DO NOT GIVE OUT TRACKING N.O.s AT THIS TIME ,It takes up too much time "

I've had my share of annoying customers, but I wouldn't want to buy a thing from a person who can't even pretend to tolerate or accommodate them

dang I drive to the next town when I ship eggs so that they get there a day sooner, my little PO send st cape then St.louis then to the destination. If I take then to Festus they go directly to St.louis
 
I had an aggravating episode with them during my last purchase (not that seller!). The seller decided he was going to apply sales tax even though he was a private seller, shipping out of state, and the sales tax was for a state that neither of us live in (and incidentally the highest in the country). I told him there had been an error made on the invoice, and his response was that he had paid more for the item and couldn't take a loss. Ebay were no help whatsoever, apparently the sale is only legally binding if you're the buyer.

Yes, we either have a 12 mile drive to our mailbox to meet the mail lady at 9.17am exactly, or a 20 mile drive to the nearest post office. I always figured that expense was part of my costs for doing business.
 
I ran into a seller who became extremely nasty when I paid for a sale with a credit card on Paypal.

Not my fault he started both auctions at 1 cent.
Not my fault they both closed at around 20 cents.
Shipping, by the way, was going to cost him ONE STAMP because this was a small paper item that could be slipped between two index cards in a standard sized envelope (not even a long envelope).

I got a horrid email about how he was going to LOSE money.

I told him I'd be watching for the items.

2 weeks later, nothing. Went online to do something else on Paypal & saw that he'd "refunded' the money.
He claimed he "lost" the items so couldn't send them.

By the way, the actual value of the two items together was under a buck at best. Average trading value for those items was about 40-50 cents if sold on the open market.

Hope saving a buck or less was worth the two negative feedbacks I gave him...
