OT ~ question??? (rant enclosed)
RANT BEGINS HERE
Okay, I admit I'm in a ****y mood tonight, but WHY do people NOT read the instructions on my eBay item pages. Is it UNCLEAR that I DON'T want people to pay for anything until I SEND them a freaking INVOICE?!?!?!?!?! Do I have to put that in 72 point type at the top of EVERY item?????? This rant is brought to you by the third instance of this happening just today... Now I'll have to go back and nicely tell this person that they would have saved themselves some money if they had only waited. Sheesh... END OF RANT Thank you.

RANT BEGINS HERE
Okay, I admit I'm in a ****y mood tonight, but WHY do people NOT read the instructions on my eBay item pages. Is it UNCLEAR that I DON'T want people to pay for anything until I SEND them a freaking INVOICE?!?!?!?!?! I almost never wait for invoices. I generally only read far enough to see if the seller will accept Paypal (cash or charge), and then I try to pay pay immediately at the close of auction. I imagine I'm not the only buyer who does things this way. Sorry if we infuriate you! Carol in SLC New jewelry: http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/hillrose.jpg |

If you buy only ONE item, that's fine and never a problem. But if you buy
10 3mm strands and pay what you *think* my shipping charge will be, I can almost guarantee that you'd be wrong. It costs a bunch less to ship 10 3mm strands of beads than it would to ship 10 8mm cat's eye strands. I combine shipping according to weight, not number of items, so your charge to ship the 3mm beads would be $1.50 - $1.75, while the 8mm Cat's eyes would be close to $3.00. THAT'S why I ask people to wait - and why Mary said what she did about charging them the extra shipping. Fast payment never infuriates me, but geez, give me a chance to SAVE you some money so you can buy MORE beads! Mj "Carol in SLC" wrote in message ...

There seems to be some kind of an automatic program that sends payment
immediately after the auction closes. I got some payments the other day that looked too fast to be human generated. -- There are no mistakes, only unexplored techniques "Mj" wrote in message ...

I soooo agree with you!!!! In defense of the illiterates and impulsives and
just plain obedient folks out there, Ebay makes it very difficult to do anything "beyond the pale" in terms of completing auctions. They send you their automatic notices, and they have those pesky "pay now" buttons on your My Ebay pages to make you want to comply. Even if you enter a message for Ebay's auto-invoicing, it's small and not in an obvious place. :-( -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://members.cox.net/desertdreameraz/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

Now I'll have to go back and nicely tell this person that they
would have saved themselves some money if they had only waited. Sheesh... why do you have to tell them If they fail to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS then they should be stuck with their choices.... their choice - their cost.... I would not bother to explain.

What's so funny about that??? LOL now THAT IS funny - If I have someone who overpays by just a bit I often email them an offer to send a "suprise" worth the difference... G 99.99 % of the time - they'd rather have the surprise.... so I send one of my lampwork beads -- you know -you make five to get four that match - then you have that fifth oddball that just lies around waiting for a home... that's what I usually send....

I agree. I always figure that if I don't ask, it's the price I pay.
