It's all anyone can ask.I have gotten VERY irritating emails from customers on eBay - but I always try to reply with a modicum of decency, even if they are totally off the wall. This whole problem I've had has basically been over a lack of courtesy - simply bidding on one's auctions without permission.Even when problems arise, I try to take care of them, as do most good eBayers - whether it's with a buyer, OR a seller. I have refunded two customers' shipping in the past month, just because their package got pushed to the wayside and didn't get out in a timely fashion. One of my best customers - from Germany - got a module which I advertised as "COMPLETE" yet was missing a map (unknown to me), aparently, when it arrived. I offered him the options of a return, a partial refund, or a map - shipped at my cost - taken from a duplicate of the same module. Since then, he's been my best repeat customer by FAR.It's common etiquette - simple things like if the customer pays the same day the auction ends, and you ship three weeks later, they are owed an apology as well as a refund of their shipping costs. IMHO, that's just common sense AND common courtesy. Cougarrinard seems to ignore all of these things and thinks that all buyers and sellers are at his frivilous whims.I think at this point most of the problems with this seller would go away if he'd just be a man and treat people the way he DEMANDS he be treated.

obedientone wrote:hello. i'm sorry for not getting back to you. he tried to lower the overseas shipping cost as you predicted. i stuck to what the auction said. then he provided a u.s. address but it was a p.o. box. he also delayed payment. i insisted on a permanent address so i can have signature confirmation. then there would be no doubt the package was received. i mentioned some things that were said about him and he became very upset. he kept asking me to report the people who told me that to ebay, but i refused. i told him that i just want our transaction to go smoothly. he has since paid and provided a u.s. permanent address to ship to. so we'll see. but thanks again for the info!

I have received the following emails from the seller (I no longer have a link to the auction) regarding the "progress" of the transaction. I thought that all of us might like to see a SUCCESS story for once:BTW, this seller has some nice sized lots up for sale and everyting appears to be in very nice condition. I hope that all goes well for him.

Man, what does it take for you guys to throw a positive someone's way?Oh, unless that was some sort of bogus listing? Nah, couldn't be ... this is the trustworthy Coug we're talking about here. I'm sure everything was on the up-and-up, right?But, man, if there's some chance that that whole thing was somehow a legimate listing ... well, I hope your good pal at least agreed to pay your eBay fees on that $1,000. Or did he forget to mention that part?
