When Ebayers send you Candy ! LOL

Socialite · Feb 12th, 2008, 06:31 PM

Well a couple of sellers who I've bought from send candy along with the item I bought, Now the first time I was quite scared I didnt know what to think, afterall who knows what they have done or got it from, Im sure for some its just a nice gesture and I can see that but Gosh I will not eat it.

What do you guys think ?

I have had a couple send me some as well. I thought the gesture sincere, but I will not consume either....

sweetlove · Feb 12th, 2008, 06:36 PM

I'm thankful. I've only had one transaction and I got candy which was pretty awesome as it was a type of candy that wasn't available here :)

archygirl · Feb 12th, 2008, 06:38 PM

I don't send candy, I send Chanel skin product samples (no worries about consumption, I guess!). My girlfriend works at Chanel counter and gives me TONS of samples, so I pass some on to my customers, especially when they purchase Chanel items from me. I would be hesitant to eat candy...is it the Halloween paranoia?

I've had sellers send me sweeties too but I've never eaten them

hovercraftier · Feb 12th, 2008, 06:59 PM

I've never gotten candy, but I've had sellers send me soap and scented lotions. Maybe they think I stink?

handbagcrzy · Feb 12th, 2008, 07:06 PM

ive gotten samples of different products before and even once I had a dog blanket engraved and got dog treats I will use the samples but I did trash the treats.

I don't think I would eat the candy

I keep stocked up on $5.00 Starbucks gift cards. There are Starbucks EVERYWHERE so I know they'll be able to use it, and when a transaction goes really well or it ends WAY higher than I anticipated, I toss one in and buy them their next latte.

Better than candy, but same thought!

We pack in scented hand-written thank you notes. I think candy would be a little much.

LT bag lady · Feb 12th, 2008, 07:39 PM

Nice gesture but 'no thanks', I would not eat it. I'm a New Yorker, (paranoid).

I have received fragance samples but since I only ever wear Chanel 19 (for the past 25 yrs), no use for those either.

Cheers,

I don't think I would eat the candy. I remember that either Dear Abby or Ann Landers put out a message in her column politely asking that readers not send her candy, because she never eats it anyway. I can't say I blame her. Who wants to eat candy of unknown origin sent by a total stranger through the mail?

fashion-cult · Feb 12th, 2008, 07:41 PM

I once got a bag with some candy in it... I didnt know if it was meant for me, or if the person had forgotten to clean her bag out before sending it to me... lol...

No, I did not eat the candy!

moi et mes sacs · Feb 12th, 2008, 07:41 PM

nice thought but I wouldnt eat it. Toiletry samples are always nice though

nycgr1 · Feb 12th, 2008, 07:49 PM

I received candy for eBay seller from japan,I knew the candy but I did not eat it.Grateful for the kind gesture.

aki_sato · Feb 12th, 2008, 08:11 PM

Same here, I would not eat it as well..
I realize it is a nice gesture, but no, won't consume it..
