Why I hate doing business on eBay

ARRRGGGHHH!!!! Fie on UPS and idiot eBay buyers!

OK... so I put up some DVDs on eBay for a pretty decent deal, bundled in the shipping price, and someone bought the item. Great.

Pack. Ship. Bye!

Time passes....

Hey, why is this package on my doorstep???

Crap.

UPS tried three times to deliver it, and then sent it back to me.

Thanks, Guys!!!!

Email customer... nothing for several days.

Then... email:

"Hey where's my package? I moved and tried to pick it up..."

Give me a break!!! Who buys something on eBay right before moving?????

So I respond with... it's gonna cost another $XX to ship it out again (duh.).

Response:

"Nevermind...I dont want the movies now since i have to pay extra. How do i get my money back?"

OK... so now, I'm faced with a dilemma. Her move cost me approximately $22 in shipping ($16), eBay ($4), and PayPal ($2) fees.

Unfortunately my inclination was to refund the entire amount, even though it pains me and cost me to do so.

I'd rather have a happy customer than a ding on my eBay rating, but it really torques me and makes me think twice about doing any more eBaying...

Grrrrrr....
