Ebay warning! BMWRecyclers gets combative, threatens to try and get me fired

[jalopi]

i still don't think we're getting the full story hmah

[UlrichFennec]

It was a shipping mistake. Yeah, 30 miles away for a part is a bit of a trek, but shit, I wouldn't complain. That'd just give me an excuse to say "road trip movie!" and drive to go get it.

The seller tried to remedy the situation, he acknowledged his mistake. You got frustrated and pissed the seller off. I think he didn't handle the situation properly, but you instigated the seller. Both of you are in the wrong, you a bit moreso.

remind me to never do business with op

so you didn't file a paypal claim, you filed an ebay claim, presumably without ever contacting the seller in the first place

still a dick move bro

Haven't done enough ebaying to know common practice. The order came in incomplete so i hit the 'order came in incomplete' button. Just trying to do things by the book...

[flyboyx]

not even going to bother to comment on this one. i am here for the gang bang.

cmon man really??

a grill?

*shaking my head vigorously from side to side.

...with vigor.*

The grill was the entire reason i bought the item. My dinger works great. The dinger&grill from ebay was cheaper than a new grill from ECS. If i didnt need it i would never have bothered saying anything.

just checked ebay, bmwrecyclers has a 99.8% positive feedback score from over 7,000 people. based off of that, i'm gonna say the problem stemmed from you, not them. yeah they fucked up when they forgot to include something in the package, but they seemed to try to immediately remedy the situation. then they forgot to follow your initial unconventional request and your vaginitis soared to overdrive levels and you overreacted. i'd get mad if someone tried sullying my good reputation for no good reason too

I always considered the grill to be part of the knee panel. At any rate...it's a fucking door chime! I think you can live without it until you are able to go get it. Shit like this happens when you buy stuff online. So he sent it to the address listed in paypal instead of the one you designated...big deal.

With that said, I don't think either of you handled the situation well.

*shrug* sorry you feel that way. It was a less than ideal situation that i myself had a large part in creating. It is not reasonable to think that anyone can leave their place of employment mid day to grab a package from any address.

There is a big difference between a confusing situation and the seller resorting to name calling and threats.

In a world where sellers act like children how can you blame me for wanting communication on the record?

I'd really beg to differ on who's acting like a child.
Being an adult will come eventually.

[validius]

I for one endorse and support BMW recyclers, and I've never dealt with them.


there's a such thing as a shitty business, but there are also shitty customers.

you sir, are one of them.

OP sounds like a whining child.

"not speaking to you off the record" blablabla

sounds like you're leaving some important details out of the story. did you make a paypal claim without contacting the guy first or something? because that's what i'm getting from reading between the lines. if that's the case and your attitude was roughly the same right from the get go then yes, you pretty much were being a dick. it's not the sellers' responsibility to remember what your new address is, it's your responsibility to correct it on paypal.

No, i did not file a paypal claim.

You are right to say my address is my problem not the sellers. I was/am going to swing by the other address on my way home from work. The only reason it was even relevant is because not being at my primary address meant my roommate could not open it on my behalf and verify the contents. All i was saying is that it would take another couple hours!
