It would be nice if we could find out the VFers who sell on amazon/eBay. That way we could buy from each other YaYas was good for that, until the site started going buggy and I had bad experience once. I guess one burn is all it takes for me! But I can understand things from the sellers point of view too. That's why I always leave feedback on amazon. I haven't had a negative experience yet, but I am nervous about an item I ordered a few weeks back that hasn't arrived. I did send the seller an email a week ago with no response. I cancelled my order today. Hope it all turns out well.

I had sold a bunch of brand new, unexpired facial products on eBay a while back and noted each and every expiration date on the listing. The buyer, a zero feedback buyer, upon receipt, immediately filed a claim against me stating that the items were used and expired. Long story short, eBay found in my favor because she refused to send back the items (per eBay's policy). She left scathing, nasty feedback which was later removed by eBay. I emailed her and asked her if the items were not as described as you stated, why not send them back? eBay even sent her a postage-paid label. She NEVER responded to me.

Afterwards, I tracked the buyer after this upsetting fiasco and she was doing this to one seller after another but I was lucky enough to be the first. She was kicked off eBay and obviously never refunded.

I'm done. It's only going to be trading or donating items from now on for me.

Hmmmm I wonder if you had the same buyer as I did. Ebay ruled in my favor too as she clearly did not know what she was talking about.

I am really sorry. Can you speak to amazon about this. Call them. Too bad there is no place to post "Stay away from this buyer!"

This is just nuts to me. You apologized in email, even though it's not your fault, refunded her money, and did not ask for it back!

Even without negative feedback and scammers, I found I could not compete with some people selling items for less than what it would cost me to ship. I am not about to pay to sell something I don't want.

I suggest everyone donate to their local libraries which are really hurting and even closing down in these dire times. Either that or have a yard sale.

I'm so sorry to read this. I don't sell on Amazon.com or eBay any more. They've skewed it to where a buyer can rip you off and get away with it.

You have to be kidding me! You need to call Amazon's seller support and set the record straight with them. What a nutjob!
