Burn Out

 Is it just me or does this happen to people all the time? Packing is a BITCH. I'm sitting at the library purchasing shipping for two items sold on Ebay. Granted, the customer usually pays but Ebay takes a cut of that cost. And I some how said I would include shipping for a barbie Dol. That sucker was heavy. I have run out of my "Barbie" boxes and had to find one at Walmart. Its about 5 inches too much in height which I am certain added to the astronomical cost.

Also, the Fiestaware I shipped two weeks ago (via this slow Fed-Ex USPA agreement) arrived busted. I think I remember that the dishes weighed a lot more than I anticipated and I may have wrapped them a little too cavalierly. And the customer was a complainer She sent Merc the pics of the packaging with the smashed stuff obvious. She said I did not write Fragile on the box (I never do, she must not be a seasoned flipper), ad that the color was not Sea Mist but Turquoise. I put in the description that it could be Sea Mist. She said the top dish was faded and discolored and included a picture of a dish whoes color did not look like anything I took a picture of! Lighting is everything. 

I sent her an apology and she did not respond with anything. Even if I were pissed I would have at the very least written an acknowledgment of my note.

So I suppose that the more you sell, the bigger the chances of problems. Like shipping to the wrong address. Than God that worked out and Nick was a total sweetheart about it and I was able to send him a replacement and a 2nd one as an apology. Once again, why ar men so much easier to work with/ Most the time, not all the time!

Then I had a meet up to sell the Tarot cards and he missed the first meet not even alerting me until afterwards. OK, I can give him the benefit of the doubt, but the second time I assumed he knew to meet me at the same place. I waited 25 minutes before contacting him and he said he would be there in 20. I booked. Probably my fault, but I am just tired of people not honoring the meet up arrangements. Not all the time, but the times it does not work, it's a horror.

Just dropped about 290$ on a load of glass and buttons and some other wonderful things. Stained glass piece. And I need to just suck it up and list list lis.
