DODO eBay…
I recently searched for the DODOcase on eBay. Because of that search, I’m getting the “tailored” recommendations you see in this screen shot.
Really eBay? Really?
I can’t wait to see GM’s seller rating in a few months.
I’m sure we’ll see a few smaller foreign governments buying fleets of GM cars really soon also.
Paypal = good! (via shawnblog)
I know a lot of sellers do not like this. When I was with textamerica.com and we initially used Paypal, we were not happy with the fact that customers could use just about any excuse to take money back from us after they signed up.
Certainly, in this case, it isn’t OK in any way. If you make a buying decision and you are given what you paid for, you are most certainly in the wrong for trying to get a refund. If the seller does not deliver the goods, that’s another story.
I made an ebay purchase that was simply never delivered. I realized after the fact that the seller had a low number of positive ratings, so I could have avoided the whole thing by picking another seller, but I am really glad Paypal has this mode of resolution.
It’s not like it was a lot of money. It’s the principle that a thief took me. In the analog world that would not have worked out so well for the thief, but on the web, I have no recourse and have to go all legit with resolving things. It feels good, but I still prefer the old way! ;-)
