I think that is a good idea. I will give them one last communication. I’ll also send the scanned photo I took so that they can use that. I had to fuss with it in photoshop so that the holo pattern was actually visible.
I have no choice but to keep it if they don’t respond though. I don’t have the envelope, so even at my expense, I can’t just force it back into their hands.
And frankly while I’m willing to live and learn a little every day, I keep having negative experiences here. And I feel like I’m not welcome.
If people want to have a real conversation, I’m willing to. We all get grumpy, and I do too. In the last few months I’ve had lots of headaches with people selling on ebay. More than ever. I have bought a couple things since this event, and nothing this month at all or the end of january as I recall.
It doesn’t feel great to just get berated and given backhanded insults. But I get it, I’ve made myself into something of a punching bag. I came to share my frustration because it is frustrating.
I feel like trash. Maybe I am. I won’t ever be that way with anyone again. If that is all it comes down to, I won’t. I just won’t. I won’t parrot the ebay policy. I’ll just ask to return the item, and if they say no, then I’ll just move on. I’ll always assume the label is wrong and ask for additional photos, or if I feel its too much bother, I will pass on it. If this isn’t enough I ask geuinely, what is. To be asked for my information to block me feels about as bad as it gets. I’d rather not be that. And from here, besides reaching out to the seller again, if there is anything else I could possibly do, what is it? What puts me back on good terms with the members of the forum after this? I want to hope I’m not irredeemable. I really do feel bad. I want to not be a bad person and that means letting myself feel bad instead of just putting up a mental block of “you are just stupid”. So with a bruised ego I ask in earnest.
I’ll report back if the seller responds in 24 hours on if they want it back. If they don’t I’ll still report on if they ever respond.
