Reply to "Are you as demanding as this buyer?"

Must admit I'm somewhat surprised that some on this board would side with my buyer on this issue, so let me revise & extend my remarks on this deal to see if I change any minds!

Monday --
~8 am. Take Mom to have cataract surgery.
3 pm. Go to work until 12 midnite.
4:55:48 pm. E-mail post time for Paypal payment notification for ebay store item purchase.

Tuesday --
~12:30 am. Check e-mail & discover order & paypal payment notification e-mail.
~7 am. Take Mom to follow-up Doc appointment.
~Noon-3pm. Pick up sister & friend (separate flights) at airport -- returning from vacation.

Wednesday -- Pick up item from storage (remote site).

Thursday --
Before NOON, item packaged, labeled, & shipped via USPS Priority Mail. E-mail auto-generated by USPS & sent to buyer when USPS label generated.
2:45 pm. Go to work until 12 midnite.
4:45 pm. Customer posts first complaining e-mail.

Friday --
~12 noon. Read buyer's first complaining e-mail (see above posts). Spend quite a few minutes incredulous, trying to decide if buyer serious or joking! Decide serious.
1:17 pm. First post in this topic w/buyer's e-mail.
1:39 pm. Replied (see above posts) to buyer's first e-mail.
2:10 pm. Buyer's 2nd e-mail (see above posts).
2:47 pm. 2nd post to this topic with copies of above 2 e-mails.

Saturday --
Did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with anything ebay!
2:02 pm. Item delivered by USPS to impatient customer!

Don't care what you guys say, even WITHOUT the personal family issues involved, I think an item ordered Monday evening being received by Saturday afternoon WITHOUT paying extra for expedited shipping/handling/processing is QUITE reasonable by any standards! -- especially for someone who is doing this part-time/as a hobby! At this point, I don't intend to change how I do things, EXCEPT I will refrain from posting FB first for THIS particular customer until I see what, if anything, is posted for me by them.

So, in light of the additional details above, who's the unreasonable one? Confused -- The seller (me) or the buyer? Have I changed any minds? Wink

BTW, Mom's surgery went fantastic! Big Grin She thinks her eye may require little or NO correction except for reading! Eek She can see better'n ME now! Roll Eyes
