When I was in Ohio several weeks ago I had the opportunity to try on my nieces “Crocs”. As ugly as they are, they were surprisingly comfy.
After some consideration I decided to look them up. Retail they go for about $30 bucks. So I decide to search for them on eBay. Bingo! I find a seller who is almost giving them away for $9.95 plus shipping and handling! And they were authentic! So I immediately choose the “buy it now” option and purchase them.
I saved so much money I decided to search for some fun accessories for my Crocs.
I bought a cute little bunny, a plump and juicy strawberry, a cup of Joe and a Sugar Daddy sucker.
Now all I had to do was sit back and wait for my purchases to come in.
Two days later I received my accessories. So cute!
Seven days later I look online to see the status of my shoes.
Hmmmm… the seller who had a 100% positive rating is now receiving negative reviews.
I contact her and ask her when I could expect my shoes.
She replies:
I am sorry. i get them from canada and they were stuck at customs on the united states side. i have resolved this. they will be here by thursday afternoon. if you want i can give you your money back. if not i will pay to overnight them to you as soon as i have them. here is the tracking number of the shoes XXXXXXX 754 and here is there website if you want to take a look www.dhl-usa.com .
I ask if she’s talking about the current Thursday or the next Thursday.
She replies:
thursday next week. as i say in my listing, i try to ship within 2 weeks.i am getting them from canada. i will get them to you as fast as i can. thank you
I tell her no problem. Just keep me in the loop.
The following Thursday I log onto eBay to see the status of my shoes.
There is no listing…
There is no seller…
(Insert swear words.)
I file a claim with PayPal.
Meanwhile I decide to give another eBay seller a chance. Mind you $10 dollars more, but the first deal should have sent huge red flags my way. If it’s to good to be true, it probably is.
I received my new Crocs from the second eBay seller in 2 days. Love em!
Just received a email from PayPal.
