So I have a pretty large ebay store and so I have hundreds of customers a month buying from me.
Here are a few of my favorite ridiculous, brain-dead customers.
1) Guy named "Charles" emails me wanting to buy a magazine from my store. He was asking for my address to send the $. I said sir, u need to actually PURCHASE the item before you send me any money for it. We went back and forth for over 2 weeks on email. He didnt understand what I meant that he had to click BUY IT NOW and buy it first. Somewhere in there I think I must have accidentally given him my address, thinking it was another customer. Well then one day I open my mailbox and there is an envelope in barely legible handwriting from a "Charles". I knew it was him right away. Inside was a money order for $1 ! He had not even purchased the item from my store and he also didnt include the right amount or any shipping!! And the item was $2.99 not $1 !! If he would have paid the right amount, I probably would have been nice and taken the item down and just sent it to him but I wasnt gonna lose $ on the deal. Then he kept emaling me asking where his magaizne was. I kept telling him he needed to send another $2 and $ for shipping & also purchase the item, but he just didnt get it. :-(
2) Guy purchases an item from my store and pays me right away. It was around 9pm at night. So the next morning I ship it out along with all my other stuff. Later that afternoon he emails me asking when his item was shipped, I tell him it shipped first thing this morning. He then replies and cusses me out royally, saying that HE PAID FOR THE ITEM PROMPTLY AND I SHOULD HAVE SHIPPED IT PROMPTLY TOO. He was appaled that I waited till the next morning! I replied, Sir, the post office is not open past 5pm. You paid me at 9pm. How could I have possibly shipped it any faster? He never replied and then left me a negative!!!! :-(
I swear, some people think you should have your own private jet and fly their item directly to them instantly. They have no concept of shipping time.
3) Guy who demanded I reimburse him 9 cents for shipping because I overcharged him 9 cents!!!
4) Lady who demanded her $$ back on a book because one tiny corner on one page was slightly bent. I did it, but damn I was mad. How picky can you be? The bend was literally microscopic!
5) Lady emailed me FURIOUS because she says the disc I sent her had "several scratches". I replied and said "Ma'am, my description clearly states that the disc has "some scratches but plays fine". She replied still angry saying that "several" and "some" mean completely different things!! And in her opinion there were "several", not "some".
Ugghhh!
