We have just sold a brand new label printer on ebay, its made by Brother & has a RRP of £159, someone bid & won it at the price of £50, bargain you would of thought but no! they have sent us an email saying they can buy it on Amazon for £90 YES thats £90! £40 more than they have paid for their one! & they want a discount because of it

I've emailed back explaining that they have bought it for £40 less & if they want to pay £90 then I'll relist it & sell it to someone else!


I can't actually believe that someone would complain about getting something £40 cheaper :blink:
 
Its a bit like walking in to Comet & buying a TV for £50, then a few days later you happen to go into Curry's & see the very same TV for £90! any normal person would say "great I've got a bargain" but no these people would of gone back to Comet to complain about it :confused:
 
Helen, if the one you are selling is brand new, unused and they don't want it. Relist it, leave them negative feedback ( they can hardly leave you some seeing as you were selling as advertised ), and report them as a non-buyer to ebay. You should also be able to offer it to the second highest bidder without relisting it.
 
I am almost sure they are obliged to pay for it once they have "won" the auction. If they don't you can give them bad feedback can't you? As well as complain to e-bay.
 
Well this just shows the mentality! they just emailed me again regarding the delivery, before the snottiness started I agreed to drop the printer off at their house as they only live about 15mins drive from here, they told me they would pay cash to save me paypal charges, now they have paid through Paypal with a note saying "Should of given us a discount" how childish is that :lol:
 
Make sure you withdraw the money from your paypal account and you obtain a receipt from them if you delilver the printer. They sound the sort of people who would try a "charge back" and claim they never received the goods.
 
Don't give feedback until they leave feedback for you. If you go ahead and leave feedback first and you give them a negative, you know what you'll get back! So wait until they leave their feedback, it might be ok and then you can leave something for them if you see what i mean.
 
When you deliver it, please tell them that I'll give them a £55 for it and I'll also sell them one of the other kind for £89.50. In that way they will have made a profit of £5.50 without doing a thing!
 
Was their complaint that you had included on the listing that the RRP was £159 when it was generally available at a much lower price? That's the only thing that would start to make sense.
 
I did have it inc on the listing, but they did not mention it until I refused to give them a discount for paying cash, I didn't ask to be paid cash they just said they would as I was dropping it off at their house! (saving THEM a fiver for P&P!) anyway I emailed back & politely said no, the reply to this was, they asked for me to send them via an email the invoice for the item & underneath in a seperate paragraph was that they had done their research & they could of bought it new at Amazon for £90 not £159, We have stated to them that it comes with nothing normaly but we have added a new USB cable & 3 unopened ink cartridges, we have also offered to cancel the sale of the item so that they can pay £90 at Amazon but funnily enough they didn't take it up ;) I really don't know what more I could of done! I've actually just been on the Brother site & its listed as £183 now :o the listing did state that £159 was the RRP
 
So they basically don't understand the concept of what an RRP is, specifically what the first R stands for...
 
Thats true! to be honest I'm thinking of not bothering to leave them feedback at all! & if they don't leave me any then thats fine!
 
We dropped the printer off last night & spoke to the womans daughter who could not have been nicer! the daughter was around 30yrs old which would put Wilma in her 50's & guess what? she is a teacher :o now you can't tell me that a teacher in her 50's does not know what an RRP is surely?
 
Or it's should 'have' given us a discount? :angy: No wonder language standards are dropping, blah, blah, blah.

I would give them bad feedback just for saying that they should of got a discount.

Exactly. Then i`d have gone round to their house and had a big poo in their letterbox.
