eBay stuff up

[trout]

I listed a bunch of stuff that ended this weekend and had 2 lots that were simmilar.
2 lots of florins 40 and 50.
The buyer that won the 40 coins should be prety happy because I sent him the 50 coin parcel, The other buyer hasn't paid yet and I havent sent them yet so I can fix his lot up by adding another 10 coins. :good:
Bugger down 10 florins :dash1: ,  I wonder if the 40 coin buyer says anything ?
Either way I can't grizzle because it way MY stuff up so I will just have to wear it.
Dont you just hate it when this happens

Send them a polite message. Offer to pay return shipping and a $10 reward.

you can ask the post office to return the parcel

Sorry to hear trout, if you need to get rid of post florins next time just let me know But yes try messaging him

[Australian coin]

Dad said if he gets them, you can say pick out the ten coins that they don’t want and you will pay return postage for them

[trout]

I sent an email letting the buyer know that I made a mistake
They will send em back, keep them and send me an extra quid or say nothing and have a wee dance.
If they pick the first 2 options I will tell them to keep them as an early Christmas Prezzie.
On any of the options I will loose my coins and I duly deserve to for not paying attention to what I was doing.

But I would far prefer to give them away than they just take them (does that make sense?)

The post is really about "Has anyone else done such a stupid thing" as I did?

I posted an item normal post and it was supposed to be registered, we had a major meltdown and rushed back to the post office and made them sort thru all the mail to get the item back and put registered post on it, luckily it wasn’t going anywhere it took them over an hour to find it, so embarrassing. We are all human. :blush:

We have also had a coin go missing 2 weeks ago and we had to send another one, so we are out a $10 coin plus registered post, it’s the silly season, freakin Christmas what you going to do. :dodgy:

I have on a couple of occasions got the missus to mail a parcel or two because I have had to go bush and she has decided not/forgotten to send the "registered".

My solution was to refund the shipping costs to the buyer and apologise.
On both occasions the coins got there and I got good feedback and none of the buyers took advantage of me by saying they didn't get it.

Just goes to show 99% of ebayers are decent honest people, Its just that mongrel 1% that is stuffing it up for everyone :aggressive:

If I had put something in the mailbox and needed it "dug out" my PO lady would get great pride out of making me pay a fee, I'm sure of it. I might ask her tomorrow what that fee is.

[trout]

I just received a reply from the buyer regarding the extra coins.
I am pleased to announce that she is one of the 99%.:yahoo:

I asked her to accept the extra coins as a gift.

My faith in human nature as been restored / strengthened once again,
I may have lost a few coins but I feel pretty damned good at the moment.
Great outcome as far as I am concerned :good:

Well done trout, good outcome!

[keldaw]

what happened to me was ,
 i put a $ 5.00 note ( brand new unc )
on ebay and started at .99 cents , bidding stopped at $ 2.91 .
 that guy must have been happy that day .
 he got a unc $ 5.00 note for $ 2.91 plus  .60 cent postage ..

    my mistake ..   ,, kel ,,

[AaronG]

Never seen a note go under it's face value :/

[Russ e]

ive sent a few registered that didnt pay for it, but due to their low feedback i took that precaution for myself.
and good to hear the buyer was honest, 2 weeks back i repaid for a couple of sets of guitar strings that had been refunded due to not arriving in 30 days.

Trout:   Me thinks your gift offer was worth more to the buyer than 50 good feedbacks any day.
