How about we just forget I asked?
I was on ebay, looking for a card reader for my very old FujiFlim camera that has the 128MB SDSM card. So, I found one for $.01 with the $6.99 shipping deal. You know those sellers. Avoid the final value fee and still get a profit by jacking up the shipping. Well, I was happy to pay the stupid shipping because I wanted the extra card reader.
Enter USB vs. Pin Issue. I failed to realize that this was one of those 9 pin deals as the connector. Trouble is, I haven't used Pins since my Windows 95 computer.
So, I had paid her through PayPal, the total $7.00 and I had paid it immediately.
I sent her a message telling her of my mistake and asking her if she could just keep half of my money, refund half of my money, and not bother sending the item at all. I admitted I made a mistake and apologized, but made it very clear that she didn't need to send the item and I would still leave positive feedback.
I figured she'd understand. She and I have about the same number of feedback and while mine is 100%, hers is 99.8% - which means she too is a decent e-Bayer.
Her response was that it wouldn't make sense for me to send the item back because it would cost me $3.55 to send it back, plus e-Bay had charged her $.55 to list it.
Did I not just indicate to her that she could keep the item (which means she could re-list it), keep her $.55 listing fee, plus the extra part of the money I didn't want back, and she didn't even have to waste an extra moment of her time on me?
At this point, I'm starting to believe that I'm going to get this Card Reader that I don't even want in the mail and she'll miss out on one heck of a deal.
Forget I asked - and somebody please get her a "sign". LOL
forget
