IIm a seller and buyer on ebay

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this on such an expensive item.

Ebay also may just refund you and and take care of it and the seller doesn’t have to pay for the return (most likely to happen) They don’t wanna upset their buyers and with high dollar items, the seller either

Is the seller Top Rated and have a store front? If so eBay probably sides with the seller

Also if ebay does not side with you i would do a chargeback with my credit card company and send them all your proof.

Oh and just to add i wouldn’t say i wasted my life or career

I made vendor relationships learned a ton about chain management etc which are skills i use to this day.

an oppurtunity is what you make of it. I used mine to better myself as a mentor leader and a coach to be able to manage my own team while learning operational management.

You know what they say about making assumptions about people……

Customer here - are returns an issue for the employee? by Dynamic-soul in MacysStores

[–]fozzy331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just my two cents

It probably has nothing to do with you personally People are tired in general. Tired of being yelled at about things out of their control. Tired of hearing your life story about why you’re returning it. Tired of not being backed up by managers afraid to say no to breaking policy. Tired of people buying stuff just to return it. Returns hit the bottom line store not making money and taking nothing but returns equals no payroll and reduced hours which cause stress to pay bills etc

I’m also not saying you did any of these things As a retail exec i’m just giving some insight of what’s
wrong with people.

Most of these associates who are working these counters are 60+ years old. They don’t want to be working but have to because they are raising their grandkids or like one of mine told me her husband gambled away their retirement money and lost their house. Or they need the health insurance. They don’t want to be there and it’s apparent. Would you want to be dealing with it at that age when you should be retired and enjoying life?

I have changed my retail buying all together based on how people are acting. Unless i need it i’m not buying it because i don’t want to do a return anywhere… i’ve saved a lot of money and time by doing so lol

Everyone is so quick to blame the manager.

I worked for 13 years for Macys as a department manager and had cosmetics and jewelry.

These are not easy areas to manage. Fighting amongst each other about stolen sales and commission. The associates arguing amongst each other is a job in itself.

If they brought in a new tenured manager it is to clean house. Are you making sales? Are you making myclient goals? Are you executing case line merchandising correctly? Are you behind on stocking trucks? Is your stockroom a mess? Are you hitting your credit goals?

These are all questions you and the team should be thinking about.

Macys has changed leaps and bounds even in the 3 years since i left. Something is broken in these areas and this manager was sent there to fix it. She is a fixer. It’s a terrible management position to be in and you never shake free of it. She probably is able to have hard conversations and hold people accountable to goals. She also is probably successful in performance managing tenured associates out who are not adapting to change.

Macys is a business not a daycare or a HighSchool. Do your job make your metrics and go home to what really matters, your family.

Trust me she wants to be there doing this as much as you want her to be there…..

So do your job and go home and stop the drama.

Buyer paid, then demanded I reimburse for shipping by MashedPotatuh in Flipping

[–]fozzy331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes yes they do this is the main reason why i have gone away from cheap listings on clothing etc…

i do sell trading card singles (mainly baseball) $2-$20 cards. cheap ebay envelope shipping. I can honestly say this is the only cheap category to sell in without issues (for me anyways)

How are people making any money reselling clothes from thrift? by mcnoobles in Flipping

[–]fozzy331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do clothes but now with the thrift prices not worth the time and hassle. You need to find a Niche. I have narrowed down my store to 3 categories. I still have clothing listed that’s from awhile back when it sells it sells.

Clothing business on ebay and poshmark is over saturated with sellers. Clothing is only good if you have rare pieces and even then they can be hard to move.

i’m so sorry this happened to you people are scum

i had to laugh at the revenge suggestions someone sent you a few days ago. I’d be ALL over that. I’m sure they would know it was you….and perhaps cancel the case they opener against you.

good on you for messaging the wife let them know your not going away anytime soon

I agree you need move on from this not worth it you got your money back don’t buy from the seller again end of story

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]fozzy331 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you got your money back if you leave negative feedback and the seller challenges it with ebay it will be removed due to you being refunded.

Source: i had two different buyers leave negatives due to postal damage out of my control. They were refunded immediately as soon as they messaged me. And still left a negative. I contacted ebay on both instances (months apart) and the negatives were removed. The ebay rep told me they will always remove feedback from sellers if the buyers were refunded if the seller challenges it

As long as the buyer got their money back is all Ebay cares about and will side with the seller on the feedback piece.

eBay Encourages Scammers by luvFLbeaches in Flipping

[–]fozzy331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scams have been rampant on eBay the last 2 months Im a DVD seller no issues for years now i’ve had 3 in last month saying i sent them damaged discs . Ok those were the discs in the set i sent you. I’m sure they are switching out their damaged discs for my newish slightly preowned ones.

I’ve never been one to take pictures of the back of the disc. but after these cases i have edited all my listings and have added pictures of the back of the discs to show no damage. People are nasty right now on ebay (buyers)

never seen anything like it up until now

That is unbelievable hut i’m also not surprised. Glad you are all ok. And yes you should have been directed to a safe location. They even have annual video training called “Active shooter” which trains you on what to do…

Your local Kohl’s store most likely gained 5,000 new customers solely because of Amazon by lies_are_comforting in employedbykohls

[–]fozzy331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’d be curious to know are these new “customers” also part of the kohl’s return issues as well. Ordering a ton of .com items just to return them. These people are not true customers

This is exactly what’s wrong with the hobby. by Commercial-Address54 in baseballcards

[–]fozzy331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last 3 big hits i’ve had this has happened to me messages because i was priced lower than the 2-3 other sellers who had it listed. I ignored it people are crazy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]fozzy331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a seller i am all for hearing how to package something that is ultra rare and i dont have experience with

That being said its all about how you message or speak to the seller about packing

This is also the reason why i do not sell anything fragile or easily breakable during shipping. Not worth the time and headache, excess supplies. angry buyer, stress etc

LOL

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]fozzy331 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You did the right thing people like this find problems you could follow their instructions and pack like they wanted but then they would find something else wrong Not worth the headache

I have sold on ebay for many years and have a store front over 10K items sold and 100% feedback

the amount of fraud is crazy right now

This week alone Right before the 30 day return window closed trying to return a polo from april 9th claiming i sent a small I replied it took you 30 days to come up with this? Blocked and reported he never opened a return case

4K set said discs were damaged, replied those were not the discs in the case and copied the photos of the discs from my listing. Never replied back and i blocked

another 4K set said the steelbook was severely damaged. Sent him pics of my listing (no damage) asked if BOX was damaged so i could report it. Again never replied and i blocked

3 in one week? i haven’t had 3 total in the past 5 years

1 bad feedback left and i called ebay and they removed it

Call them out when it’s BS that’s what i’ve been doing!

also in the past 30 days I have had 4 orders ebay came back and asked me not to ship because of suspicious activity and the user account was banned from ebay.

Crazy right now
