I say the truth and people laugh. I can't win.

bizzy is not salgal.
Where is salgal,by the way??
Bizzy is sensitive and salgal is not.
Salgal would not ask us what to do with her bidder.

LOL @ fluffy.

Libra, if there are only two people that think that others are mean and nasty downstairs I would say it was more of a problem with them and their perception, not the way it really is down there. We can't expect that everyone agrees with everyone else all the time. I never run with crowds and would hate to see a world of clones, difference of opinion is healthy for all.

It's simply gorgeous here, Fluffy! Definitely worth the drive...

Stop, Our Gal Sal is hanging out on the other auction boards. I guess she likes the comparative solitude.

a little late, but here is my 2 cents worth.

you need to do two things for this buyer, apologize all over the place and get those negs removed.

the next thing you need is anger management classes.

if I were the buyer, i would be really pi**ed if my item wasn't shipped for a week after i paid.

I want your seller name Biz so I can make sure I don't accidently bid on something from you. Feel FREE to add my glassgrl name to your blocked bidders list.

I would of been PO'd if you said you ship within 48 but waited a WEEK to ship! You got off easy, she should of negged you.

You give the female race a bad rap by your attitude. You don't need to be selling frankly.

Please please block me!

I came here for help and some of have been kind in their postings in pointing out what I did wrong and what I need to do to change it. Some of you have been outright nasty. The only thing I can think of is for those who are nasty, it's simply because their lives are so miserable that they feel it's necessary to make themselves feel big by flaming and openly attacking another member of this board. That's a real shame.

What I did was wrong. I have said it over and over again. Instead I'm being called a loon and other names. Another poster wants nothing more but to inflame the situation between myself and the buyer. I could go on, but the thread speaks for itself.

Yes, I have alot on my plate. I have more than most, but I'm fortunate in that things could always be worse. The last thing I need to do is to come into a forum for help and be openly flamed for making a mistake. Added aggravation has no room in my life right now.

Before posting, just remember that the person on the receiving end of your post is a real human being. Some feel real big hiding behind the mask of a computer and say things that they probably would never say to that persons face.

I'm not a glutton for punishment. I came here for camaraderie and help. I should have known better after lurking for a couple of months and seeing how you all treat each other. But I looked for help from those with experience with ebay. Although it was informative, it has always come with a big price. It's a price I'm not willing to pay anymore.

I hope that those who are dealing with miserable or unhappy home lives get it straightened out soon. Best of luck to those are are genuinely kind and helpful.

Hey, getting flogged on this board by the folks with the deep bench o' experience is not a bad thing.
At least you get the "tough love" school of wisdom.

I sell occasionally, I just moved and have piled up a little stock pile to sell near the autumn. But last year, I was sweating bullets to get stuff out in the mail when I said I would get it out. AND if I had a problem, I emailed customers.

You can't go too wrong by being clear. Even the slowest payers will bite you in the a$$ if you ship slow.

Okay, now I'm puzzled again... Trying to figure out who did the above. Anybody have a clue?

Someone (I fergit who) said they invited the buyer to this thread.

Was that you, Sister Lucy?

Personally, I think the buyer participating in this thread could only help resolve matters, with the group acting as mediator.

"Added aggravation has no room in my life right now."

Bizzy, honey, what some of us are trying to point out to you is that you are causing much of your own aggravation by being so quick-tempered--with your buyer, and now with us folks.

You are keeping this thread going by staying on it and reacting to everything others are saying. You DON'T NEED TO HAVE THE LAST WORD.

Just sign off--but remember that we create what happens to us.

Just sign off, Bizzy. It'll be good for your emotional state.

'Twern't me Miss Fluffy. Oh no, oh no, twern't me. Ah'd nivver do nuffin laik dat! You gittin me all skeered now Miss Fluffy...

All I did was post the buyer's feedback and ask a couple of questions to un-confuse my little self!

I wholeheartedly agree with you, though. It would be simply wonderful to hear the buyer's side of this directly from her.

Sorry that you have lots to deal with but don't judge that your plate is fuller than the rest of ours without knowing what we deal with in our lives each day.

And remember, opinions are like a______s, everyone has one.

Bizzy, I am way late on this thread but the way I see it you have two options.

1-Forget about it and move on.
You've already blocked this bidder. Doesnt seem like you want her business again anyway.
or,
2-Write her and tell her you overreacted to the slow shipping comment and you're willing to do the mutual feedback withdrawal thing if thats what can bring this transaction to a amicable close for both of you.

You're not the first buyer/seller that has ever left negative feedback in a moment of haste. (Venture to say you wont be the last either.) People leave feedback for whatever reasons they want or justify in their minds. And as we all know, in the grand scheme of things it doesnt mean a whole hell of alot inbetween many positives. But there is mucho tit for tat going on. So if you choose to do option #1 dont be surprised if she resurfaces and causes you some trouble for it down the road somewhere.

I have to agree with Kiara. Opinions are like a**holes. Only some go into colon spasms at an open chance to dispense criticism. (must be like the mental/anal mans orgasm.) So if you find you have gleefully dribbled verbal diarrhea all over you - well, you really should be replying: "gee, thats a great color - and the smell sure beats a bouquet of roses any day! Now obviously there's something wrong with you if you cant appreciate that. ......aha-ha-ha-,,.>>>>You're among friends here ya know......>>>> but better watch out maybe next they will be catching your emails across the internet and putting them in their snatch for the lean times!! LOL)

I wonder if this thread will reach the OP's goal on the other one? 100 replies by midnight...

If one Google's a Vendio user ID, one comes up with links to various results, including threads started by that person.

Could be, Lucy. Unless something more entertaining comes along while waiting for Sunday auctions to close.

Fluffy, I just did a google search-you know there is no reference to that? Not even a porn site with some reference in name! I looked through 16 pages and its all about the movie or crimes. Ah, Dearest Fluffy, I bet I saw you at one of those underground punk clubs years ago!
