I sold a 50 year old Coalport collectable tankard on eBay for £5 plus £3 postage.

The buyer just messaged to say he's made a cup of tea in it and it leaks. That's no use to him, what am I going to do about it.

I politely replied, its a vintage piece of Coalport, I'm not sure it was meant for hot beverages!

Takes all sorts on ebay. I've been looking at a 60 degree wedge today, listed at £50 start but no bids on it - open to offers. I offered £45 and he tried to negotiate me to £55. I offered £48 and he just declined it. Why has he set it to allow offers below the amount of he's not going to consider them? Daft.

The thing that really boils my juices on ebay right now is the AI descriptions.......who on earth thought that was a good idea.?
Completely worthless.

Ebay is full of them now. Used to be a decent market place, just full of clowns and chancers now. I sold a tripe fan graphics card last month, now straight away a triple fan card is going to be sizeable, in this case it was 27cm long. Make and model listed accurately. Guy buys it and then sends me a message saying it doesn't fit his micro case and wants a refund for a mis-sell.

I actually get more hassle selling stuff now that I ever have had in the past that I rarely bother.

 

[IanM]

I told him to request a refund through ebay so they sort the fees out.

Here's a tenner, go away!!

Royal Mail.

I need to fix my espresso machine and to do that I need o-rings for the probes in the steam boiler. Ordered and dispatched on Saturday.

Get an out for delivery notification this morning but I'm at work. I press "Leave in the Greenhouse", start dreaming about that sweet sweet nectar I'll be able to wake up to again tomorrow. Come home. Nothing in the Greenhouse.

Nothing anywhere.

Check my email.

Having to think up another different password to reset one I've have (temporarily) forgotten, but suddenly remember when resetting it, but not allowed to use it again.

He’s already done that,

Every morning when I turn on my work laptop I have so many junk emails. I mark them as junk but they just keep coming back with a slightly changed email address. Our company security is pretty good but you can't block all the chaff it seems.
I can't hide my email address as I need it visible for business purposes.
Just the price you pay in modern life I guess.

When I bought a new PC a few years ago, I put the old laptop in the loft, just in case.
You'd think I would have put the mains cable with it.

And I’ve just got a notification to say it’s been delivered today, Thursday.

They really are a farce of their former selves. Who’d want to be a postie.

Pointless red tape!

I am ending a contract in Mar, on a Friday and starting with the same company, same job on the following Monday. I asked if I could keep the laptop but was told it was a security risk as I wouldn't be employed over the weekend. This means I have to fill out a form to arrange it's return, 50 mile round trip to return it on the Friday, taking up 1 person's time to process the return. On the Monday I will be on site for induction anyway and will then need to take up another person's time to issue me another laptop. When I get the new laptop, I will need to apply for 2 lots of software to be downloaded, more wasted manhours. And they say they are trying to cut pointless red tape

had to pop to Morrisons this morning to get some bits for a curry and while looking for some spices someone decided that rather than walk behind me she would squeeze herself between me and the shelves - a gap of about 18 inches.
