I just have to share this everyone...I was looking on eBay today shopping for our twins and found an item that had this in the description:
"THIS AUCTION IS PAYPAL ONLY. DO NOT BID AND TELL ME YOU DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS PAYPAL ONLY OR YOU DON'T HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT BECAUSE UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT EBAY WILL NOT LET YOU BID. ANY MONEY ORDERS OR CHECKS RECEIVED WILL BE RETURNED AND ITEM LISTED AS NONPAYMENT. SORRY BUT I HAVE HEARD SO MANY TIMES THE MONEY ORDER IS ON THE WAY AND IT NEVER SHOWS.
SHIPPING WITHIN THE US ONLY. PAYPAL ONLY. PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 5 DAYS OF AUCTION END. I PURCHASE SHIPPING LABELS THROUGH PAYPAL SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PACKAGE.
MY FEEDBACK IS NOT DISPLAYED AS I HAVE TEENAGE KIDS THAT CAN VIEW MY OWN EBAY PURCHASES THROUGH THE FEEDBACK LINKS. NOT A GOOD IDEA CONSIDERING I BUY GIFTS FOR THEM OFF OF EBAY.
SORRY BUT THERE IS NO COMBINED SHIPPING. BOTH EBAY AND PAYPAL CHARGE FEES FOR USING THEIR SERVICES. I HAVE FOUND THAT A SELLER CAN NOT POSSIBLY MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF AN ITEM WITH COMBINED SHIPPING. MOST ITEMS GO FOR PENNIES SO TO COMBINED SHIPPING MEANS FOR ALL MY TIME AND EFFORT I MAKE PENNIES. I AM SURE YOU UNDERSTAND. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO WORK FOR PENNIES EITHER."
This is probably one of the most hostile listings I have read in a while. I just thought it was interesting as I have been re-reading my listings lately to make sure they are as customer service friendly as possible and then to read this! Yikes!
