eBay Buyers Should Be Ashamed

I had an email today from a sellers family. At first I was totally confused only to find out they were the ones at a loss.

The email explained how the seller had passed away and if what was going on with items, sales the entire nine yards. I had to check because the name looked familiar but I wasn't sure if I had anything outstanding with her.

They explained exactly what it was they were going to do. Down to actually telling people to file disputes through Paypal in order to get the money back as Paypal will not let them into her account.
Sending all packages out to those they have ready etc.

Now, would a person that is scamming tell customers to file a dispute? Oh, heck no. They would in fact ignore you completely and that would be that.

In checking my purchases I finally found her. I had been in a quandary over why feedback had not been posted as this seller was on top of things. Shrugging it off I had forgotten about it. I had received my item weeks ago. AND I would like to add very swiftly at that.

Today I took a look at this sellers store (which is up for very good reasons) and feedback. I mean it is crazy to think of that this type of moronic behavior is taking place. People, and I say that loosely, are actually giving this dead woman negative feedback!

The funniest is that in some of the feedback I read they stated no communication. Well, are we as sellers when we die (knocking wood it doesn't happen while we are selling) supposed to communicate from the grave?

In some of the other feedbacks they actually say this person died but no product. What is wrong with these people? I could tell you really but it would be all censored words. haha

I am totally ashamed of those buyers that posted negative feedback because the woman died. Yes, they died so you wouldn't get your item. What is wrong with you people?

Shaking my head I decided to vent my disgust with those buyers that slammed her, saying basically it was no excuse. Even that it was a scam. Karma will get those that did this. Or at least I hope so.

You can clearly see by this persons feedback that it was nearly perfect. Why would they scam now? Or are these buyers so cold hearted and non trusting that they can not accept the possibility and fact that life and yes, death happens to one and all. Even eBay sellers and buyers.

Shame! Shame! Shame on you people. How would you feel if your family were left with impressions like this? Gee, what if you were a buyer should the seller slam you also?

Really makes you think as a seller. I told my family about all this and my daughter told me to hurry up and get those packages out. haha
If I were the family and was able to I would answer each and every one of those feedbacks slamming those buyers.

Was I a friend of this person? Nope, just another of their buyers this past month. As a Power Seller and store owner on eBay I am appalled. Even in death sellers have a certain standard to live up to. And I thought the new TOS for power sellers was tough, I did not realize we had a life after death commitment as well.

Just goes to show you that even in death we sellers get negative feedback when things do not go smoothly.

I really hope I don't die before I get these orders out tomorrow.
