Rude reply from seller!

[littlebitznpieces]

How do you report sellers these days? I contacted a seller ref the fact their items totalled £6.77 and they were asking £35 plus £4 postage lol. And got the following reply

Thank you for your busy body comments, l suggest you mind your own business. Please leave me alone and go and bother someone else youblithering idiot. Kind regards F. U

Fair comment, but when l simply asked if they'd made a mistake and where did they get £35 from for items worth £6.77 l thought it was a little uncalled for! Lol

[pixiesen2012]

how much another seller is asking for their items has nothing to do with you!

[littlebitznpieces]

What £35 for new items totally under 6 quid? Maybe not, but l asked a civil question, as a potential buyer, l didn’t expect insults back. As a seller l don't give rude replies , or expect them back.
Surprised at your take on things, not the reply l expecting. 20 years l’ve been on eBay, it’s standards have certainly dropped 😂

OP, can you not see the funny side of this? That message might be rude but it's a classic.

[littlebitznpieces]

Yes l can, but it’s still uncalled for lol

[littlebitznpieces]

Plus their user name is impossible to add to my blocked list. I just get this error message... Error
The following user(s) were not valid and therefore were not added to your list.🤷‍♂️

To be honest in most cases it's not even worth contacting the seller to query an error in one of their listings unless you are actually interested in purchasing the item and are just seeking clarification as to whether the part of the listing that you're unsure about is actually just a typo or whether that is indeed what the seller meant to put.  If you don't have any interest in purchasing the item then the best option is usually just to keep quiet.  If you want to offer advice to other users then the best way to go about it is to only offer advice to those people who actually post queries on the forums actively seeking other users' advice.

I was interested in the the items, l wouldn’t have seen it if l hadn’t searched for the product, so my question to the seller was valid 🤷‍♂️ I wouldn’t go onto the main UK dealer, in this case Regtons ltd, to check the products retail value if l wasn’t interested. I pair of replacement headphone foam cups £3.40 & 1 hard plastic WS4 protective case £3.33 plus postage. Sellers items £35 plus £4 postage, so yeah, thought it was a typo 🤷‍♂️

I know I shouldn't find that funny, but I do. So funny, in fact,  I'm crying with laughter!

My first thought when I saw the costs involved was that this was probably an international seller. But the word 'blithering' is so utterly British, probably not...?

Still laughing hysterically here. So sorry, OP. I hope you can forgive me...?!

[littlebitznpieces]

Don’t apologise 😂 l use blithering on FB on a daily basis sometimes and yes l have a sense of humour 😂 l did chuckle, but honestly some people 🙄😂

@rusticrye I have been laughing since last night, and the indignation shown by the OP makes it even worse I'm afraid. Please forgive us, OP

How do you report sellers these days?

You don't, not just for rudeness. EBay has long since removed the link which used to be present in every message to report inappropriate comments. There are so many quarrels and insults between eBay's millions of members that they would need an army to keep order!

The reality is that commenting on other sellers' listings always risks an irate reply. What one person ses as a helpful comment, another is liable to see as poking your nose into their business.

[littlebitznpieces]

Indubitably. But doesn’t make it right 🤷🏻

The P&P would have been listed on the ad and this is all you would have to pay so if your seller is asking for more, don't pay. Just pay the money on the invoice.

As far as your message goes I can imagine how upsetting this can have been but I would just ignore them.
