Wow! My father has been in hospital, my grandfather is very ill, my dog has had an amputation .... kind of been a bit busy
IMGG, how is the above statement "snippy?" God forbid your father should be in hospital, your grandfather ill and your dog has to have something
amputated! There's something wrong with you if you think that statement is snippy!!
People are starving, our soldiers are being killed in foreign lands, there is
again genocide happening in Africa, and all the OP can worry about is one little feedback point? So the seller is busy - it's a few days before Christmas, most people are busy. Feedback on
eBay is optional you know, and if I were your seller, not only would you be blocked from future purchases but you'd get a big fat negative stating "here's the feedback you harrassed me for." Where is the praise for receiving your item in a timely manner, not to mention the superior service? I know exactly how many UK MPRSs there are, I've purchased from every one of them at least once and they all provide excellent customer service including lovely notes, gifts with purchase, etc.
People are so quick to criticise. Have you ever sold on
eBay? I very much doubt it. Even just selling a couple of items is quite demanding; I don't know how the large scale LV sellers do it with so many obnoxious customers out there (believe me, I've heard some stories!). Customers who never have a good word to say about anything, people with no manners - no please or thank yous on emails, ridiculous offers on high-end items, the abuse they constantly receive... it's hard work and they do well to keep their cool. I know I couldn't!
