Why are people so nasty~Ebay auction...

You're right! It might be the hormonal part of being pregnant. LOL! The e-mail wasn't really that rude! I would call Paypal and ask them if there is any way to change the payment method. Explain to them the situation. They are usually pretty helpful. You could also ask the seller to refund or cancel the payment then send an auto payment. Good luck to you!

edited for typo's!

I guess the hormones get the best of me... I still haven't heard from him about the change of payment... if the change is acceptable.

I've had 5, so I completely understand!

Sorry, but I really don't think that's such a rude response. You can't expect him to send the eggs before he gets payment.....I wouldn't anyway. I understand why they don't want echecks for eggs......they just take to long to clear unless you're selling for shipment the following week.

I'm not pregnant and hormonal, and I think his email is rude. Tell him to forget the whole thing, and cancel your payment. I dealt with a rude egg seller on ebay and, guess what, not one egg developed.

Although I don't sell eggs on Ebay, I do purchase them. I guess I always try to look at things from the "other side". What would I expect and how would I react if.....It's probably not just you. They may have had many others do the same thing. I have sold other time sensitive things on Ebay and I only accept Paypal. You cannot believe how many people totally ignore the "Paypal Only" instructions and then email me to find out where to send their check. Once or twice I can handle. By the 5 or 6th person, I've had it and not too nice.

You can ask him to to issue a refund and you can go right back in and send another payment via credit card or directly from your bank account.

I'm am sorry that it seemed rude...I can understand your feeling that way...:aww

If this is true,then the seller needs to be made aware in the change in rules.

I guess I needed to be more specific as to why I did not think that seller's response was very rude. If you look at the "I guess you missed that part!!!" part of the explanation, notice that the seller used three exclamation marks. They were trying to emphasize friendliness with those exclamation marks. I'm not defending the seller in any way. I am trying to make the buyer feel better about the response and not to take it personally! I really feel like the seller was just trying to communicate with words, as to why they don't do e-checks. They do take a long time to clear and the eggs clearly wouldn't be good if they waited that long to send them. Words sometimes can be very misinterpreted!
