Sold an Item to Indonesia. I know, You are probably shaking your head right now, glaring at me in disgust cause “I knew better”. Well, YOU are right. Interestingly though, I thought that there was surely no way that I would lose on this deal. The buyer reported that the item was lost, and that he had not received it yet. A week later he reported that it had been received at his local post office. AWESOME!! I thought. Then, he reported that he didn’t get it after all. So, he escalated and he won. I contacted eBay about this and they said “Well, we have to follow the facts,” I said “Great!, the buyer reported that his local post office had received the item.” Then she says “Oh yeah, I see that….but then, he reported that he didn’t get it, so that cancels it out.” “Cancels it out?”, I replied. “Yes”, she said. “Is that like the neighbor’s oak tree is base in fucking freeze tag?”, I replied. Well, needless to say, I lost that battle. I will never sell to Indonesia again. In closing, I submit-Fuck you eBay. Fuck you.
