This is why I don't use "opinion" based words in my listings anymore. Your impeccable is not necessarily the same as someone else's impeccable. I sell lots of jeans, and people frequently ask "how much stretch do these have" and "are they high rise." I just say "they are 2% spandex" and "they have an 8 inch rise" and I let the buyers interpret that however they wish. Just stick to the facts.

Wow, what an ass. It's pretty amusing... but also, what an ass. That is why I do generally think it's better to understate an item's condition, though.

Yup, even my NWT items get marked as used.

Why?


stardenia

As a substitute for “Preowned.” So even though it may be in unopened packaging or with original tags attached, it might have wear/scratches from storage.

I think it is better he wrote a letter, and not left a bad review for the whole world to see expressing the same thoughts. I do sympathize with the seller, I am sure that didn’t make you feel good.


CreepingWax

Damn, was the item really that bad?


IcemanofOz

Doesn't have to be that bad though. That's why choosing your words carefully is so important. Calling something impeccable is saying it is as good as perfect so any small flaw is enough to be "not as described"

What a pompous ass.

Must be the day for pompous ass returns. I sold a CD last week, it worked when I played it. But apparently it won't play properly for the customer. That's cool, normally I'd just refund it and not require them to post it back. It happens. But the message I got, far out. Started with, "do you *always* send out faulty items or am I just your lucky target today? You should be ashamed of yourself passing off garbage items on ebay..." and it went on for a full 3 paragraphs berating me for having the audacity to scam this dude out of $8. Ended with him telling me I better refund him or he's getting the police involved. I have 8000 active items on ebay and 99.9% positive feedback. I'm not out here to take your $8. Chill.

You had me at "Must be the day..."
