Horrible eBay buyers - shaiko85 this years winner

Online trading on eBay is great fun and you meet a lot of nice people who are reasonable. Every now and then you meet a real donkey who for some reason seems to either :

• not bother to read you terms of sale in the description
• does not understand the terms of sale or the condition of the item on sale
• does not care about the description and insists on his own idea of what the items condition should be
• is purely vendictive
• has his own agenda
• is purely unreasonable

Seems like the end of year usually brings out the idiots online too. Every year I have one who is such a pain. This year's prize winner on eBay is :

Member id shaiko85 from Spain

calle/Ramon Gomez de la Serna nº3 "TJ"
29018 Malaga(Malaga), Andalucía Ceuta y Melilla
Spain

If you have this guy bidding on your listings, best to cancel his bids for he will cause you all sorts of grief after the sale not matter what you do to try to resolve his issue. Does not understand English well and send threats of negative feedback even though the description has been clear and the terms of the sale is spelt out clearly in the description.

Nasty experience. There is always one. Share your experience as an eBay seller and lets round up those bad buyers. Since there is no way to leave the buyer negative feedback and eBay seems to always say that there is no issue and they cannot remove the obviously unfair feedback.

Wonder what he gets ? Does he get a kick out of leaving negative feedback for the sake of leaving it ? At the end of the day he does not get his issue resolved and for me his negativity will just float off into the horizon.

Still we will continue on with the 99% of reasonable and nice people in the world. Life is too short to worry of such donkeys. (sorry this is an insult to donkeys) As sellers we are always willing to work with reasonable buyers to resolve their issues and every one goes home happy.

Anyway in the spirit of Christmas and our Lord Jesus Christ, you are forgiven for you know not what you do. Amen!

SAVE money on shipping by getting loose figures

A lot of the time we do not need the packaging that comes with figures and they take up a lot of room inside a box in order to ship it to us not to mention adding weight. This means that we are paying money to ship things that we are just going to throw in the bin once they reach us. There are savings to be had on shipping if you can get the seller to remove the packaging and ship the items loose. Obviously they should repack the items in a smaller box with sufficient packaging so as not to damage the item.

This will add up especially if you get a few items together. Besides this is a greener option as your seller will use less packing material.
