ebay thread: buyer reicves empty envelope 4 times! please advise

[justintime2001]

I would raise the issue with ebay though, she may have done this sort of thing before?

Go through her feedback and ask other sellers if they had similar problems.

But otherwise, parcel tape the package and SD it.

selotape one to a brick and chuck it through her window

Sellers cannot leave anything but glowing feedback, so this would be worthless.

It does sound very dodgy mind!

Can't you leave negative feedback to a buyer if you wait 30 days after the transaction (or similar period)? Haven't sold anything on eBay for a while.

Maybe she thinks it is in a clamshell packaging and discards the envelop before checking in detail?

i dont think you can. as a seller when you leave feedback there is only a positive option.

I didn't say anything about leaving feedback, I said go through her feedback, contact the sellers of previous bids she has made, and ask if she had pulled the same stunt with them.

Do you think there may be a vague chance that she is a bit thick and is expecting something more substantial than a stylus? Maybe she is opening the envelope and discounting the stylus as nothing. Seems odd that she insists on being sent another. What use would a bunch of these be worth? If she was going to scam someone then I would imagine it would be for a more expensive item.

Seems very odd that you had no problems with anyone else but repeated problems with this person. Could well be that she is scamming you - although it's only 99p items if she did it with multiple sellers you could make a decent amount of cash.

could be she / he is doing the same to 100's of buyers, then in a few months with 1000's of £ of stock starts to sell them?

no idea what she is playing at. after i told her i have recipet showing hte weight she has cooled off and told me i need to claim of royal mail.

no idea what she is playing but dont want a negative feedback over 99p. (sent her 4 so its more like 3.96 i think)

 

[Kingy]

Try sending her an empty envelope?

Wow, another way to needlessly hammer sellers...

Some times the machines at the main sorting officers can scrape the item out of the envolope, then the empty letter goes to the postman, he then should have put it in a apology bag.

This is why OcUK needs a rep system

 

[Energize]

Go round to her house and deliver it yourself? I'm pretty sure that the postman is not going to steal a stylus.
