selling on *bay

I don't get people. In particular, how some people can live with themselves.

In twenty years, give or take, I have had a complaint once as a buyer on a used
item. The seller shipped the wrong item, I contacted, he checked, shipped the
correct one and didn't want the other back. An employee (or him, maybe) pulled
an item with a similar shelving code.

Otherwise, I have had a few surprises, but nothing I could complain about, in
general. If I can't identify likely issues in the listing, I ask. If I don't
like what I see or what the seller tells me, I don't bid.


Maybe I am weird?


(I have had a number of issues with sellers of nominally new items, both the
item not being new or the item not being what it was listed as. Watch for the
"appearance may differ".)


This is why I have enjoyed dealing with people here over the years.
