So I'm looking to purchase a wireless headset on ebay and inquired about the condition of this set because it wasn't obvious if it was new or refurbished. This is the exact set that I want, so I didn't bother looking through the technical details that were obviously copied and pasted from the manufacturer's website.

I asked the seller if it was new or refurbished, to which he replies:

It was a "Are you serious?" moment. I went back and searched "refurbished" only to find it worded in amongst the tech details. Granted it was stated, but so? What happened to the days when the customers are always right? I may have made fun of a customer's stupid question while chatting with co-workers, but I've always practiced patience when dealing with uninformed customers. I decided to look up their website (http://www.dakmart.com) and emailed back:

I'm not sure why I'm so ticked off by this, but I'd like for this kid to feel some sort of consequence for his words. What do the best revenge artists on this forum think? I've read some of the craziest revenge plans right here, i.e. NFRs2000NYC's friend being defrauded and tracking the kid down and getting him arrested (great read).

 

Dude, this is Ebay, not Wal-Mart. Look at the feed back. With the volume that this guy does and the number of complaints that he already has, I assure you that he absolutely does not care what you think or if you are offended. Get over it already.

Buyer beware. I always read the full description and research the seller as best I can before I buy anything on Ebay, no matter how bad I might want it or how close to ending it is.

 

that would piss me off too. all you did was ask a simple question. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much you can do. they're assholes and don't really care apparently.

 

Dear alxboi,

we have had to block you, since you're incompetent in producing a thread worthwhile in this forum.....please feel free to post elsewhere

thanks again

I'm j/k. Seriously though I feel you. I would be upset as well. It was completely uncalled for. Chances are that is was a refurbished item. Better that you didn't purchase it.

 

dude, its fawking ebay. get over yourself.

then again, if someone with the word "boi" in their name bothered me, I'd probably block them, too.

 

Ironic thing is that the time that the seller took to reply to his message he could've answered his question as well ...

 

Glad to have your support, guys. For the peeps saying "get over it, it's ebay": I would have if I didn't see that they are in fact a large retailer in Florida. This particular employee deals with live customers all the time with the same attitude. Anyway, I slept it off. This matter is of no concern to me anymore.

...You're swell

 

'nuf said.

 

just my humble opinion about people who use the word "boi"

 

They suck and they tried to hide the info. You were smart and enquired before just buying it. You practiced good caveat emptor. You kept their money they got bubcus.


Win goes to AXboi.
