eBay Vendors, eBay Sellers

eBay Vendors, eBay Sellers, and Other Assorted "On Line" Vendors
---

"On Line", "On-Line", "OnLine" Vendors
"On Line", "On-Line", "OnLine" Sellers
---
No Customer Relations and/or People skills.
---
Seems most of them would rather tell you to "F-Off".
i.e. eBay vendor, made a "Best Offer" on Friday July 1st.
eBay states: 48 hour response time.
48 Hours Later: Nothing, Nada, Diddly Squat.
Emailed a 2nd time, asking about "Best Offer"
His response was basically "F-Off", It's a holiday
You are selling via an "On Line" venue that is "Open 24-7".
You could not take 5 minutes out of your day to check your emails?.
---
My response was:
Well Hello To You To, Goodbye Forever
-----------------------------------------------

If you are going to be on the "Back Side Of Nowhere"
At least have your email "Auto Respond"
"I'm Out Of It", "OTL till further notice", "Whatever"
---
Or, My All Time Favorite "F-Off" I don't need your business.
---
This is not the first "Vendor" to give me this response.
What ???
People have no "Manners or Common Courtesy" ???
How about respect for your "Possible Customer"
---
My guess is that being an Internet business.
And so far removed from being human.
That "Being Nice" does not apply.
---
Yes, I may be the "A-hole From Hell".
But !!!!!
I am "Spending Money"
You only have to deal with me for a short while.
Probably less that a half of an Hour, One Hour Tops.
Once you get my money, you can call me all sorts on names.
To my face or otherwise.
If to my Face, I will never shop your establishment ever again.
---
But to insult me before I have even made a purchase, seems kinda silly to me.
To insult me while making an enquiry about "Price" or "whatever" my question may be.
Talk about "Shooting Yourself in the Foot".
"I Will Post" About You
"I Will Tell My Friends" About You.
To Boycott, Avoid, Do Not Buy from This "Ever So Happy, Happy, Happy Person"
Or just go to this web site, Web Page and see for yourself.
Apparently they do not need mine or your business!
---
Does being an On Line Vendor mean you do not have to treat potential customers with respect or dignity?

If you had a "Physical Store" I could shop in?
Would you treat me this way, or tell me to get the "F" out of your store.
If all I did was ask a question about the "Item"
Or if you would take a lower price for said "Item"
Every "Store" I have ever been in it has been 50/50.
They would "Bargain"with me or say "Sorry" I cannot do that.

Please Note The "Sorry" Part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---
!!! Not A Single One Of Them Has Ever Told Me To "F-Off" !!!
=====================================================================================

A#1 --- Let me say that:
I am not pissed off or mad in any way.
Well, not as much as I used to be anyway!
This has happened so often that it has lost it's shock value.
BUT!
I am still Amazed that these people are still in business.
I doubt any of them get repeat business.
---
My Background in Customer Service.

#1. I grew in a Family Restaurant, 20 Years.
Where I was taught at a very young age how to deal with customers both Good and Bad.
I can only recall where one customer physically attacked me, for that I called the Police.
That one person was banned from ever coming into the restaurant ever again.

#2. 10 Years in Tech Support, Answering phones.
99% of the callers were anywhere from mildly upset,
TO SO F-ing mad I though their heads were going to Explode.
The last 1% were apologizing for calling in.
I had to be "Courteous" to each and every one of them.
For me this was not a problem, I only had to deal with them long enough to get their problem "Fixed"
At least for me it was not personal.
---
I cannot attest to what is going on.
But my take on what I see around me is that "Someone" with a "Day Job"
Decided to go into business for themselves.
That is all very fine!
But of those I have dealt with on a personal level.
Did not have a clue as to what "Customer Service" was or what it meant.
I suppose they were nice enough people, still when things did not go as they wished.
They got Mad.
Fine get mad, just do not take it out on your customers, Past, Present or Future.
A Shop out of the Back Bedroom, Back Porch, Garage, Tool Shed Out Back.
Do not know, Do not Care.
Please read a book, Take a class, Surf the Net for how to Make & Keep Happy Customers.
Please and Thank You.
