A pleasant e-Bay experience

[Christiern]

I occasionally read--here and elsewhere--complaints about e-Bay sellers, so I thought it would be nice to tell my fellow posters about a very pleasant one. I have been trying to find fragrance refills for a couple of Oust fans that seem no longer to be supported. A Google found several, but they want $43-49 for an item that was priced at $3.99, when the stores had it. Then, this weekend on e-Bay, I found a batch of 8 for $23, and they were just the fragrance I wanted ("outdoor"), so I ordered and received today. Also in the package was a piece of chocolate--a nice touch, and Mindy gets my recommendation!

Tell me about your good online shopping experience(s).

I've yet to have a bad one, really. They've all been pleasant between me and buyers/sellers.

Probably the best experience was finding a copy of the HOPE AND GLORY soundtrack for my sister some years back.

The weirdest one was when I bought a Wii when they first came out. It didn't cost an arm and a leg (which was surprising given how much more they were going for at the time). But the seller and I had been having a great correspondence all the way up to the day I received it. Everything was as advertised, and I promptly left him positive feedback. I also sent him an e-mail telling him how everything arrived and how happy I was with the transaction. That was two Christmases ago, and not only have I not heard back from him, but he never left any feedback.

I have yet, unfortunately, to receive any chocolate!

I as well have been very happy with my ebay experiences as a buyer. I can only think of two that weren't 100%, and in one case it was resolved amiably. Selling has been a different story, but even there I have very few complaints.
