I bought a pair of pants on eBay that were advertised as in like new condition. I bought them on a Monday. Listing said they would be shipped the next day and priority mail. They were not shipped until Wednesday and they were shipped first class mail. The pants were $7.99 and the listing said priority mail free shipping. I finally got them Monday. I should have had them no later than Friday. I sent the seller an email inquiring about the shipping as I knew the listing said priority and I could see they went out first class. She replied that first class and priority were the same. No, I'm sorry I made a mistake. No, ooops clicked the wrong button on the listing. Just, first class and priority are the same. So, already a bad taste in my mouth.
The pants not only were the wrong size, they were very used and reeked, I mean bad, of cigarette smoke!! I sent the seller and email and was told the condition of the pants is "my opinion" and she has no idea about the smoke and she listed and sold a lot of things so that's why I got the wrong size. She further went on to say she had made a whole dollar on the sale so oh well and what exactly did I want her to do about it?! I said I expect you to make this right! I paid for a pair of like new size 16 pants shipped priority mail and I got a very used cigarette smoke smelling pair of size 14 pants shipped first class mail. I got no response from the seller.
I opened a eBay case asking for them to be returned but also for packaging and a shipping label to be sent to me so I could send them back. Why should I have to incur the $5 to send something back that was such a gross error and the seller doesn't even care or offer any apologies! The seller has refused.
Yeah, its $7.99 but why should I be out the money no matter how small?! Why should the seller get a dollar profit for selling me crap?!
Then I think for $7.99 its not worth the fight.......
So, should I pursue? Or Let it go?! (and I apologize to anyone who now has Frozen playing in their head)
