So, I have been sitting on this one for a few days, I have enjoyed reading the OP’s posts for the most part and I know that we all have bad days and can make asses of ourselves, but after this “VENT” thread (which was deleted BTW), this particular mama has made my “Do NOT B/S/T list”. Sometimes you really do need to take a step back and stay off the damned computer before you make an ass of yourself and look like a fool.

I just need to vent
I am apparently having the worst week money wise. I’ve had my first bad transaction. I paid for the diaper on Monday. I was notified Tuesday for some reason the mama wouldn’t be able to ship thru paypal and she offered no reason for this and also told me she wouldn’t be able to get to the PO til Thursday. I said well fine refund cus I can find other things to spend my money on. So she did. Well it didn’t even send as an e check or anything, its just pending in my account when I go to look at the details. I asked her wth happened she said paypal does that always. Well I know for a fact I’ve had a partial refund go thru instantaneous so I called paypal to ask about that transaction and another transaction on my account. Apparently the mama didn’t have the money to cover the transaction in her account so I got screwed!
I am so mad as I paid in funded and I totally expected to get funded back. Now Im stuck waiting another 3-5 days for my money to get back into paypal all the while she is free to sell the stupid diaper to someone else. Im just really really angry right now about this.
Does paypal really send e checks? Or is it just because someone didn’t have funded in their account?

Oh I will I hope and Im just ticked cus for one I paid in funded paypal promptly and two I never would’ve bought had I known she wouldnt be able to ship for another 3 days. Completely avoidable had the seller been upfront. I might have been less annoyed if I hadnt had to contact her to see when she was shipping them.

Re: I just need to vent
Its not the banks fault. Technically its hers becus she spent the funded paypal I sent her. Meaning I had paypal in my account when I did the transaction. All paypal could tell me was my money was spent and thats that.

chances are she spent/transfered the money bc she wasnt expecting you to want a refund… and playing devils advocate here, she may have TRANSFERED the money, not spent it, generally i tranfer the pp to cover shipping costs since i cannot print out labels at home, and honestly i dont trust the PO worker picking up my packages, i like to drop them off and have them directly scanned in..
it sounds like you have had a bad day, maybe step away for a bit and reevaluate the situation and apologize to the mama.. chances are she is pretty hurt… |
Im glad she is hurt cus Im POed! And I have a right to be. Mind you I paid monday and she said for some reason she couldnt ship thru paypal for my item which I dont get. Why should I give her a break? She’s not the one whos stuck waiting for the damn money to get back in her account. Oh and I dont even have the luxury of an e check it just says pending so for all I know she could clear out her account and take off with my money. Im sorry but I expect my stuff to go out within two business days or at least LMK beforehand. I had to pm her in order to get any of this out of her. So side with the person who has my money and tell me to give her a break. Ive refrained from leaving feedback but Im almost positive she sold the dipe and yet STILL I dont have my money back. So no I wont give her a break.

Not only that now she has sold it to another mama and miraculously she is able to ship thru paypal to that mama.

also, peach, you should but that you will only purchase from someone who will ship through pp if that is the case aswell. did you inform the mom of your “rules” for her as a seller?
everyone has lives outside of mailing diapers, i was just trying to help you see that, maybe something came up in her personal life, something she chose to keep personal… kwim? before ranting about someone i would get the whole entire story, and i would also give someone a break… |
For one the original reason I am irritated is becus of the refund being pending. She spent my money so therefore couldnt ship thru paypal thereby telling me she would have to go to to the PO and couldnt get there til thursday. Now had she not spent my money and been able to ship thru paypal none of this would’ve happened. And this is my fault how? Wouldnt you be irate if you got a refund and ummmmmmmm u have no idea if its actually gonna go back into your account? Cus I guess some of yall missed that I DONT EVEN HAVE MY REFUND! NOT EVEN A STINKING E CHECK! I get if you don’t have a postal scale but cmon now its not that freaking hard to take it to the PO. I have 3 kids and a dh who works full time and I still somehow managed to get my items out within two days of a transaction.
But thats not the point. Had she shipped thru paypal everything woulda been gravy. She couldnt cus my money was already spent and now Im out a dipe and so far 33 dollars which seems to be just my luck lately.
Is 2 1/2 days after an order really considered too late to ship? And is bashing and being mean to a mama for something that is paypal’s fault really appropriate? I mean, Peachy had the nerve to be GLAD she hurt the other mama’s feelings b/c she was too impatient to wait one day extra for her to ship? Are you shitting me? This is so incredibly juvenile and rude that I think people need to see this….
