Bidders can't read

Something about me already having a petcock and DH is forming in my head,
but I think I'll pass on this one.

Just as funny as the buyers who cant read are the sellers who dont know
their product. I once wrote to a seller about a pressure cooker. The
photo
showed no petcock. I asked if it came with one or not. He replied that it
didnt need one. ? I dont know about the new ones but those old gals do
need
a pressure regulator on top. I found one separately. snickers.

And I'm sure just as soon as I did that, someone would inquire about
the
lovely coin collection I had up for auction. LOL!
Dawn

No, they'd wonder why all the coins didn't come with the beads!

This must be true cause I've seen auctions specify that "the coin is for
size reference only, and not included in the auction." Which brings up
another question...What do people who auction coins use for size
reference?....hmmmm.... =oD..hee hee

Um... yeah, that's incredibly dumb. Read the description to see if it's
the size you want, don' get mad at the seller for sending you exactly
what they had for sale! LOL!

I just ordered some .7mm Stretch Magic, and if it's too thin to string
lampwork on, I'm not gonna leave a disappointed neutral for the
seller... duh!

you should email buyer if you are not statisfied with your purchase.

uuuggghhh! This just ticks me off when people don't communicate!

I do that too, and furthermore, I always check the buyer's feedback to
see if the seller left them a retaliatory feedback. I won't buy from a
seller who does that, period.

You are so right! When I check a sellers feedback one thing I am swayed by
is how they choose to respond to negatives. Heated responses make me close
the window and go on to another seller.
Seeing the exact same response given to all the negatives also concerns me.
A polite explanation that seems rational doesnt make me bidding at all. Its
hard to do in 80 characters. That system needs an overhaul.
Diana

Yep, good point.

I often buy a small quantity of something so I know whether it's really
right, before I commit to a lot.

I just ordered, and recieved some beads from a seller who is quite
reputable.. good descriptions and measurements on her site, and even tho I
thought I knew what 4mm would look like I really didnt....a ruler didnt shed
any light. Reality did. Holding those pretty little crystals in my hand
showed me what 4mm looks like. Now I know. There is no way Id leave anything
but positive feedback for my order. lol I am the mixed up one, not the
seller.

I think that the fact that Czech AB bicones are normally glass gives you
a good argument that the seller was banking on people assuming glass,
and therefore the auction was misleading by not specifically mentioning
that they were plastic.

What would you all do if the auction description said you were buying 4mm
Czech AB bicones and you got PLASTIC????? Do the Czechs even make anything
plastic? Was I wrong to assume I was buying glass because it said Czech
bicones? The pic was blurry and I couldn't see details. I'm trying to craft
a polite complaint, but I ain't feeling polite right now. I should have
known that the price was "too good to be true". I don't believe the other
items were described correctly either, they should have been identified as
seconds and they weren't. I'm just starting to list on eBay again myself and
don't want the rude replies that a neg or neutral would bring. At the same
time I don't think it's fair that the items were not correctly described. I
would not have bought them if I knew they were just cheap plastic. ARGHHHH

Which brings me to why I don't have anything in my pictures besides
beads... I tried and tired to find a readily recognizable small item to
put in my auctions, something that is always the same size and
universally available.

If there is such a thing, I never found it.

BTW, I do see eBay auctions with coins from the seller's country of
origin being used as size reference all the time... but that's to be
expected, because it says what country the auction is posted from, and
normally the coin and country match. What's funny is when the coin is
from a TOTALLY different country from the country the auction was posted
from... I go, "huh?"
