The strange case from mid October 2017: CHAIDINAR 1 1

[Calamerica]

This case MIGHT do me a tad harm, because I did something I RARELY have ever done, out of the two hundred thousand or so total transactions since I have been on eBay.

But there was a valid REASON, although there is in fact " Never a right way to do the wrong thing". For my wrong way I apologize in advance,

BUT there are a few reminding lessons to be learned here.

Before I get too distracted, the eBayer SELLER you good folks out there should avoid at all costs:

CHAIDINAR.

CAL who will present the evidence shortly...

[Calamerica]

Disclaimer: I have a bad keyboard and will be getting it replaced this week. I apologize in advance for any and all typos...

This started as CAL being the BUYER. Despite what the CGCers may THINK they know about me, I an primarily a BUYER on the 'Bay.

My Feedbacks do not reflect too much as CAL( Quintessence) as a Buyer, because to me, I honestly think the SELLING part is more reflective.

Anyway, this entire episode started with me BUYING two so-so Comics from CHAIDINAR.

Then I had bid seven(7) more items, and during the interim transit time between me paying for the two items and paying for the next seven items,

a few contacts were made.

The first contact was initiated by ME, as he was going to charge me $18.00-something for those seven(7) comic books.

I balked, and told him something like " you gotta do better than that w/ shipping".

CAL who was kinda shocked at that.

I get like that when I have about a 1/5 of Wild Turkey/Jerk Juice in me.

There's a dedicated thread for complaining about ebay duds, and to inform the board about them.

Any experienced Buyer should already know they must always send Seller a question to ask about combined shipping if terms not expressly described in listing - murphy's law states any time you don't ask Seller first, Seller will charge the maximum possible amount, e.g. Seller will stack the $4 shipping on 5 books for total + $20 shipping.

GOOD! I must take your word on your expertise, as I rarely drink these days. And when i DID drink, it was Fosters beer!

CAL who longs for the good ol' reckless days!

I love the green oil cans.  The blue stuff wasn't that great.

Here is apartial screenshot of the seven( 7) I bought from CHAIDINAR but yet to pay.

This was AFTER he reduced the ship cost.

CAL with more coming...
