I sold a 200$ Swarovski ring on Ebay, Minimum Bid was 15.99
This chick from South America messaged me asking what price of shipping would be to her (I checked Canada Post/UPS/Fedex etc) If she wanted the original box and certificate then Canada Post would be 36$ cheapest shipping option, without tracking etc, so the risk would be hers.
She said if she won at 15.99$ CAD she would pay that shipping. In my head that's still a score for a Swarovski ring - mind with original packaging etc
She won, Was a bit miffed cuz it was only 51.99 $ for my ring but whatevs a deal is a deal
I shipped it out Canada Post that day, sent her a copy of my reciept showing how much it costed (39$ in the end) No insurance because she asked me to low-ball value to not get duty
a few days go by, she's FREAKING out because she hasn't gotten it yet, I tell her it's probably going to take a while cuz she lives a far ways away.
A few weeks go by, and shes demanding her $ back, I said no, because there is no way I'm going to be out my ring and the $ ... and to be patient, it had been 14 days by this point ...
Her next step was getting ebay involved, demanding a refund, I fought it, but in the end Ebay sided with her and gave her her $back, then now they're trying to get it out of me ... it took them HOURS to side with her not even asking my side ... and I got pissed cuz I could have just SAID that about any of my purchases, and gotten a refund ... all this chick had to do was ask ...
what makes me mad, is that maybe just maybe the ring showed up the next day, or the day after, and I'm out a ring and $ ....
I closed my Paypal and Ebay account that day cuz they're not getting a dime out of me ... (I know I know it's only 51$ ... )
