~DRAMA~


I have a heavy load today!! Well, it happened!! I am an eBay seller and have been doing this for the past 8 years or so. I have been "blessed" with lovely customers as well as making many new friends:) Recently I had a customer purchase an item from me. While I was packaging the item I dropped it!! YEP...and it was breakable and it became damaged. I immediately refunded the customer in full explaining what had happened. This did not please her and she decided she wanted the item, no matter what!! Well, this would have been okay except I had tossed the item and no longer had it in my "hot little hands"......I tried to appease her to no avail. Even though she received a refund in full she was not happy and accused me of many devious actions I shall not go into. Problem is this...LIFE IN GENERAL IS TOUGH FOR ME RIGHT NOW...I have some personal issues I am trying to bravely deal with, therefore I have NO ROOM FOR DRAMA. I have reported the situation to eBay along with all the emails etc....I don't know what shall happen but it makes me sad because...I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO COMPASSION...WHERE DID IT GO??? HOW DID WE LOSE IT??? DOES ONE HUMAN WHO IS HURTING NOT COME TO THE AID OF ANOTHER??? I don't understand how as a society we simply seem to no longer CARE. We worry about our cars, our homes, our bank accounts but NOT OUR FELLOW MAN. YEAH...THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT OR TWO....WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE AT THE MALL, OR GROCERY STORE OR GAS STATION AND SOMEONE GAVE YOU A SMILE, A GOOD DAY OR A HELLO????? Well, I am not gonna give up...tomorrow when I go to do my errands I shall smile at every person I see:) I may even say "hi"...I may go as far as to say "hope ya have a good day"....if you hear of a woman arrested for "being too friendly" please come bail me out!! I have a feeling most folks will think I am "crazy".....such a sad commentary for us all!
Hug Life, Marylou

Mary Lou, I'm so sorry you had this experience. This must be a miserable person. The anonymity of the Internet sometimes encourages people to put their worst foot forward. Keep showing your compassion. It does come back.
Hugs,
Lallee

Oh Marylou, I feel for you! I am going through the same thing right now with a bidder who is not pleased. I just know she's going to leave me a negative feedback but at this point I just don't care anymore. Life is too short! Hope this all works out for you...

Hi Marylou,
SO sorry to hear of your ebay woes...I too, am an ebay seller and feel your pain! How terrible. I hope she did not leave you negative feedback. And even if she did, I really don't think anyone notices them anyway! Your blog writing about losing compassion in this world is making a lot of sense...I am noticing a lot of the same thing. Maybe a lack of love/faith/hope? Or a lot of painful issues going on in their lives as well? a(This is why they need the love/faith/hope thing.)

Best wishes to you...I love the title of your blog too. I just started one:

Keep your chin up! There are so many others on ebay that are sweet.
Take care,
Jill
