I've had very good luck dealing with various online shopping sites. It's the typical classified sites and other common auction sites. I almost always leave feedback and it's positive. Rarely, like only twice in the last 6 months, is it negative.
Recently, however, like within the space of a week, I had 3 bad experiences. It's said that bad things come in threes; I hope that's the case.
I won't use the name of the site it happened on because they are Not the responsible party. I will simply refer to the site as E-hay.
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Three sellers</span> to avoid :
<h1 style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px; color: #808284; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 4px; background-color: #f9f9f9;" align="left">[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]<span style="color: #000080;">cadillacvacshack[/COLOR]- bought a vacuum from and sent a simple note at purchase asking them to carefully package item as my experience has been failure to pack correctly has resulted in damages (with other sellers). He basically stuck the vac in a two plastic bags and put it in a box and shipped it off. Luckily, it wasn't damaged. I sent him a note letting him know he was lucky and may not be so lucky next time. Call this constructive criticism.</span></h1>

Nope. He acted totally smug and earned himself neutral feedback. I was simply not going to leave any feedback.[/COLOR]</h1>

I've heard others here complain of cheap Electrolux hoses. This is probably where they came from. I've bought several hoses from this person over the last 6 months. One came through defective. Contacted him, we agreed to send it back and he'd replace it. I did. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">He merely repackaged it and sent it back to me.</span> </span></h1>
<h1 style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 15px; color: #808284; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 4px; background-color: #f9f9f9;" align="left">[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]How do I know?[/COLOR]</h1>

I suspected from the start something like this would happen based on his behaviour. I hate it when I'm right about this. [/COLOR]</h1>

"Oh your vacuum is broken" or "you shouldn't have so much time to collect vacuums " (?) [/COLOR]</h1>
[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]It was everyone elses fault, certain nothing to do with him.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]I initiated a return and got my money back, of course. But what an idiot. Got negative feedback and he responded to that with another lie.[/COLOR]

Again, as usual, I sent the seller a kind note at sale suggesting how to package the item. Now most sellers you don't hear anything from them, or a few have said well we don't pack with bubble wrap, but believe me we'll make sure it gets there undamaged. Which is fine. That's all I'm concerned about.[/COLOR]</span></h1>
[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]<span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #000080;">This idiot responded with a blunt- "It won't be bubble wrapped" The moron shoved the vacuum into a box that was too short for, even before adding foam padding to protect the vac, the likes of which, there was NONE. Again, two plastic bags was all that was in the box. (?) He placed the filthy power nozzle directly on top the machine with no protection, at all. In short, the item was damaged. [/COLOR]</span>
[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]<span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #000080;">He earned himself instant negative feedback. Yesterday, after at least a week. he comes on with the middle school level, ignorant, defensive b.s. "It's Fedex's fault, blah, blah, blah". No apology. [/COLOR]</span>
[COLOR=#000080; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino]<span style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: #000080;">I told him HE is to blame. No one else. Fedex didn't pack the box. He needs to accept responsibility. Just dumb, dumb, dumb. I won't tolerate it. You shouldn't either.[/COLOR]</span>
