I got up this morning thinking… "I haven't checked my feedback in awhile.."   and look what I found…

a negative that reads: "did not bid on i only made a offer, but was forced to pay"

Seriously?  This is what the feedback system has come to?  re-donkulous! 

I know, I know, it's this wonderful buyer's opinion of the transaction. But I have the power to force a buyer to pay, for their 17.99 offer on a nurse's scrubs?  REALLY?  Since when is an offer not a "bid"?

I contacted eBay Customer Support about it this am.  They don't feel it meets the criteria for feedback removal.. (of course it doesn't)  Let's just leave the DSR 1's there also.. because well, I deserve it.  It's only the buyer's opinion, ruining my business!

Just so you think I didn't make this up.. here's a screen shot.

In a time like this, we must ask ourselves this question: "What would the honey badger do? 

What kind of feedback response would you leave this buyer?

Don't know who the honey badger is?  You can check him out here  (PS it has some foul language but is funny)

Today's Pinterest Photo Challenge: Strangers. 

I was at an auction and saw this lady looking through a "glassware price book".   She was debating with the person she was with how high to go on these dishes.

They sold for over $500.00

Do you remember Beanie Babies?  I got to thinking about Beanie Babies when I saw this auction..

You know who Candy Spelling is right?  She was married to Aaron Spelling (creator of 90210, Melrose Place etc) She's also the mother of Tori Spelling from Tori and Dean?  Apparently she is selling her old Beanie Babies…

A few days ago I received this message from a buyer.  She made offers on 17 different sequined patches.  All the patches have free shipping on them.  Here's what she said:


"I just made offers on many of your lots. Please do not be offended by my offers. I have to buy low enough to make a profit. Being a large company I have many expenses, paying employees and taxes are killing me! If you can not except I understand. Thank you for your time."

I didn't respond to her message.  I did make counter offers on the items.  Some she took, some she didn't.  She paid, and my "tiny company" sent her "large company" the product she ordered.

She received her items within 3 days of purchase (today) and I received this message from her:

"Also I wanted to ask if you mind if I use your photos so I don't have to take photos of the items I buy from you.This would be very helpful and I would possibly buy more from you if I did not have to take photos. Saves me time and when it is an item I can not reorder I do not like to take much time on listing them. Since my time is very limited Bless you and your business."

There are so many thing I want to say to this.  But I'd like to hear what you have to say… The best response receives one of each of the patches she ordered from me…

You know you want them!  They are very sparkle-y!

Maybe I'll let *you* use my pictures…
