Official BAD guy thread
ok tracking number was sent i was having a hard time getting to the ups office due too, my dd broke hence why i was trying to buy bass's car, I only have a motorcycle a box that big didn't fit on the bike, I only had one bad transaction and that was the trunk which i went back thou and found out the guy only paid 100 for it, and wantted 80 back, the rest was shipping and paypal fee. no refund was issued due too time delay I put insureance of more then what i sell the part for to cover, and yes I have parted out a whole s2k so there was many good transactions, and only one bad. I will admit i am a little slow on shipping sometimes, but we all have lives....
Don't you need "haz mat" certification to ship something that is explosive, like an air bag?
Heck, I re-used a box one day, and didn't realize there was a sticker on it that determined the contents were hazardous. UPS held it at their facility until we picked it up and re-packaged it as we are not haz mat certified.

perhaps a little communication on the front end would help there.
if you set the expectation that you'll ship "when you get around to it." people may reconsider if they want to buy it. otherwise get it out promptly.
It always distresses me on eBay when I buy and pay within minutes that the seller then waits a week to ship to ship overnight.

1 million percent!From a buyers perspective it is very irritatiing to have paid promptly for something and than have a seller who now has your money and product lolly gag around for a period of time sometimes up to 2 to 3 weeks before shipping off the product and in the interim not even communicating to the buyer.
I but a LOT of items via bb's ebay' here and online it irks me to no end when sellers are not responsive.
Drhess, although I understand your situation and am sympathetic to it, there is no excuse not to email your seller and lay it out to them. This does not require a car to do. No matter how busy one is an email takes less than a minute to compose and send. You had time to sell it take the time to communicate it. This way you avoid these situations, also if your shipping time line is not agreeable by the buyer whom has sent his $ for your product already its only fair to offer a 100% refund to the buyer if they ask for it and resell your item to another buyer.
This is just good etiquette and something you would expect yourself if you were a buyer waiting for a part.
he bought it last thursday night and i told him i would get it out on friday, friday morin on my way to work with the bags in the car it broke so i ended up dealing with that all day, I pmed him on saturday they didnt' get out and with the holiday I would try tues, I couldn't due to not haveing a car. I wasn't goin to keep pming him every day they didn't go out yet i did tell him my car broke so I assumed i had a few days, they were mailed out wed but due to work I didn't pm the tracking number and wed night he started this.





wish i knew that before i would have charged more, oh well, all should be good....
