>>Anyone else here had problems with me shipping?


 eBay is getting worse, and the world is officially going madder by the day!

 I for one have never forgotten the time I bought a small Allende from you Mike, you where flying out to Germany around the same time, and you actually bought the item in your suitcase and shipped it to me from germany to save me the extra fees and delivery time! - Now you don't get a better service that that EVER!


Best,
Mark

I guess this guy is going nuts all over the internet, on that worthless Skyrockcafe website and to the IMCA. Since I am not a member, that should be fun.
Funny, I have thousands of positive feedbacks and now 2 negatives! I guess that proves how badly I treat my buyers.
So, in order to prevent these problems, now my Ebay shipping cost to the buyers will increase to $3.00 for any item, this will allow me to print shipping confirmation for every US package. Too bad this kind of scam has to hit us all, as I have always prided myelf with rapid service, usually shipped same day paid, and lowest ebay shipping costs around, that gets me chargebacks as you must provide shipping tracking even for $1.00 item, kind of lame since that would cost around $20.00 for EXPRESS UPS OR FEDEX

Anyone else here had problems with me shipping? Do I steal your items?
No, don?t think so.
Sellers, be warned these people are ready to hit you for every nickel, paypal refunds their money instantly, and sellers cant even leave negative feedback to tell who bad buyers are anymore, it is a wonder why we use ebay at all.
