I find that I have got about 4 emails in the last week or two of people who are having buyer remorse lately.. you just know that is what it is or they do not read the ad.. either way it is getting much! one last week said that she wanted it for a special event and shipping was slow to get to her that she does not need it anymore.. I shipped next day and she send a money order for goodness sake.. I gave her the option on bidpay, but she was slow in sending a money order, I just got another email that said that the pants are to short. I mentioned that they were altered in the listing and put the measurement.. should I just say enough is enough and say NO or what would you do? I can see if it was stained or a tear but I look closely and the really does not happen.. so what should I do.. I have 100% positive feedback and one neg will not hurt me but I don't really want it tho.. so I feel stuck.. opinions please!
Thanks!!!

Kathleen - it's always a dilemna. The question is...how much do you value your reputation? Now, having said that...you don't want to acquire a reputation for being a patsy, either.

My personal policy is this...if the item I sell is exactly as I described with no errors and no exagerations then the item is considered SOLD. You don't have to go into the red trying to please the unpleasable. It's my experience that negatives don't just come from refund refusals or inaccurate descriptions...they can come from...
1) people who have no idea how feedback works
2) people with nothing better to do than complain and whine
3) people who's expectations we couldn't possibly meet no matter how hard we were to try.

You can make yourself ill trying to please everyone in life and at the same time put yourself out of business. If you are like the majority of people, you are selling on ebay to make money....not to pander to the moods of people who truly don't understand how ebay works and what it costs the seller to to their job. IMHO
