I hope Lisa comes back - moved here

[Stan]

I hope Lisa comes back - I always found her posts informative.

I've only had one order with Cloud 9, but the products and service were excellent.

As an Ebay seller myself I know how difficult it is to pitch the postage costs correctly, especially with multiple purchases and international sales. I once lost TRS for a month because one buyer felt that 80 pence was excessive for P&P (3 items combined, sent 1st class large letter + jiffy etc). It cost me £40 in lost discounts for that month.

I do feel sorry for eBay sellers who are the victims of "bad" buyers, there's nothing much they can do about it these days.

Also, when the star ratings first came in I thought that 4 stars was a good rating for an averagely decent transaction, and that I should reserve 5 stars for especially good transactions - but 4 stars is actually a poor rating, according to eBay So now I give 5 unless something's gone wrong due to seller non-performance.

I could write a small novel on the things Ebay have done wrong from a sellers pov Scylla.

I've just had a FB reminder come through on a amicable mutual cancellation with a seller - the DSR's they've given as an example are hideous and any decent seller would hang their head in shame to have them - let alone the damage it would do to their account.

Yet, Ebay see these as a fitting scoring example.

How many more do you need Scylla?

I haven't got anything on atm - it's on my to do list for the Autumn crafting customers - but I could very easily pop on a ball of yarn for you.

In the mid 1970s I often used to sit up all night with a bottle of Scotch and some crepe paper, gutta percha and wire, making paper roses as taught me by a dear neighbour. That is the sum of my crafting skill Oh, I did stitch a sleeping bag liner for my brother once, but there's no space here now to get my sewing machine out.

Just to let everyone know, my modifications on above posts where just due to moving the posts to a new thread & changing the title

Just nipping in inbetween calls - I can very easily put summat on for you Scylla - have got photo's / listings ready to go and I'll send you a few ecig goodies to compensate.

I'm not back home again properly until gone 10.30, so if you wanna PM a time that would suit you to put a listing on please do, it's a 1 minute job for me.

I too would like to see Lisa back. Her presence here was an asset to our forum.

I am still very cross at the full frontal criticism that was issued here that made her leave.

It was not a generalised comment in criticism - as I have done, for example, criticising both TW and LF for never replying to my emails or phone calls for example. But when posting my opinions, I was careful and 'tempered' my comments by saying that I appreciated that others hadn't necessarily had the same experience.

Whilst every individual has the right to feel umbrage if they feel they have been wrongly serviced/charged etc., I do not feel they have the right to post their grievances in such a way that the 'supplier' feels the need to depart from our group.

Our forum greatly benefits from having them here in my opinion. I gain confidence from the fact they are here and willing to respond to our questions and queries about products that most of us have no understanding of.

James - that does mean that you are not allowed to go anywhere! If some tizwoz comes here and upsets you - let me know - I'll set the dogs on them!

Okay, one will gum him/her to death, and the other will just cover them in fur - but you get my meaning.

But meanhile Mister - go check your emails! My last order arrived - and as usual, the inclusion of an extra - gingerbread juice (how lovely is that? ) But.......... you forgot my blue stuff. Tutt . you just can't get the staff these days! >>>>>>

[Scylla]

OT - but I wonder if James is still waiting on blue stuff and will send it separately?
