fizzgig Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Here's my thing, son. You do have some lovely hookahs. However I checked your ebay feedback score last night and was not impressed. So I ask is there a reason and you reply that those buyers were just assholes. Whatever. This morning I checked those assholes out. None of them has a rating as low as yours and only one of them drops below 99%. Assholes?! So I take the time to read your feedback and that did it for me. Sorry son, good luck but I'm no longer interested. Customer service is everything to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry son, good luck but I'm no longer interested. Customer service is everything to me.I have 3 negative feedbacks...out of 75. Thats bad? The Vegas lady I explained in Under Ericas post.The Redhare member...I sold a Louis Vuitton to her. The thing was real, I had all tags, etc. She filed a complaint with Ebay, and ebay decided on my part, not hers. So she went to Paypal, again, Palpal diecided on my part not hers. Then she just did a chargeback, so PayPal couldn't do anything. She sent me emails the day after she received it saying she loved the purse and she can't wait to use it. A week later she claims theres a defect in it. I told her to send me a picture. She sent me a picture showing no defect? Any other buyer would have done the same. Damn you guys are killen me.The Randomcollector guy...I sold him a Survelliance system. The system was completely closed in the factory packaging( the plactic stuff that you have to cut open with scissors) In the back however, there was a small cut in the plastic...about 2 inches long. He recieves it and claims the entire package was opened? Gave me negative feedback for really no reason...went to home depot and he returned it for more than what he got it from me. Am I that bad? Haha chill out people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebays rules are that if you sell an item...in which the item has or consists of tobacco, the tobacco should not be of what is on auction...it must be the packaging, label (cigars), etc. According to them, and I made sure about my case, when you post an auction, you MUST state that the auction is for the packaging of the product, and that in turn is where the value is. When you sell cigars, you must put in the description that the value is in the lables on the cigars, not the ciagrs itself. Same thing with alcohol...value is in the bottle. Along with this, you must be sure that whomever buys from you is over 18...doing this is easy through ebays buyer requirements. That is it. I let them know before I posted, and they said thats fine. There is another seller on there selling AFZAL...that sister company of SOEX. He's been doing that for a while now. According to him he contacted Ebay as well.Thanks. Keep Posting!

fizzgig Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 As I said: It's all about customer service. You malign people in your ebay feedback section. I would'nt want to deal with that kind of rudeness unless you were the only supplier around. Well, guess what... you're not. Excuses that don't check out just don't cut it with me, son. I wish you well, truly I do. I hope you use this criticism constructively and realize that sometimes a businessman needs to take a loss in order to satisfy his customer base. The return customer is the businessman's bread and butter. For shipping issues... try shipping insurance. And forgo the sarcasm and attitude when dealing with your customers. You're young.... you have plenty of time to correct your mistakes. And if you're smart, you will. Good luck in your future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahETC Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yea thanks. Believe me, I'm not a bad person, and if I was, I wouldn't have success on Ebay. You think if I was a horrible businessman or a horrible Ebayer people would still buy from me? I doubt it. There is alot going on on Ebay that people don't know. Alot of lies, alot of corruption, alot of negative ya know. As a seller, you try to avoid it, but sometimes you just cant. If I still had emails that those 3 sent me, I'd copy and paste, but unfortunately I don't. The point here is, I didn't leave feedback like that cause I enjoy it or its my favorite pasttime or something like that, I leave feedback like that because they left it for me, and the shitty emails they sent me....Im not the type of person to dwell on stuff like that though ya know. I get over it...because eventually Everyone on ebay will run into people like that. Now let me get shit clear....Im not saying those 3 negatives I got are bad people...but the way they treated me was kinda pathetic. I did my part. The only one I could have done more is the vegas lady. I could have just sent her another one at my cost and made her happy, but believe me the emails she sent me callin me names and accusing me of being a stealer and a bad seller, etc...I must admit...it pisses you off. Like I said, I offered her to send her the item again...Priority AGAIN, all she had to do was pay for shipping (small item, so shipping was like $3.00 I think) and she refused and kept her ways about callin me a bad seller or whatnot...even after I emailed her and faxed her a copy of the shipping receipt. Whats a guy to do? Just laugh and move on! I understand if some of you don't trust me or don't want to deal with me now. So be it, but I'm not gonna sit here and sugarcoat anything I sold or said on Ebay. It is what it is, and in my opinion and alot others, they deerved their negative feedbacks.Thanks for supporting me...to those of whom that still do.Keep Posting!

Lastly, ebay is notorious for having feedback wars, and people (sellers AND buyers) can easily be shady on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one thing I learned in starting my own business and running it, don't take shit personal.She can say what she wants, it won't bother me. I'm sure she means well though.Thanks Again,Hookah ETCP.S. If you ever change your mind about ordering from me, let me know.
