As you all know ( some of you anyway ) ...I have sold a reasonable amount of gear lately.
One such ' person ' bought 2 items from me.
This person messaged me ' all excited ' about how I should have received the funds for the sale by now .... this is 2 days later......so have you posted my items yet
Now I am a shift worker and don't always have the privilege of access to a Computer ( We are ' BANNED ' from using Computers at work for ' personal ' activities ' ) ... .being a worker in an Emergency Department at a Hospital, such behaviour is not permitted.....PERIOD..... ( Network / Work Group is Monitored by IT Staff ... Queensland Government )
So.....I checked my Bank Account ( via friends mobile ... I don't have data with my mobile provider ) ... and sure enough ...the funds were there.
I got home and messaged the ' buyer ' and informed them I would be posting the goods tomorrow as I had the day off... ( on my stepdaughters computer ...)
I duly posted the parcel as promised to the forwarding buyers address.
Now ....I get this message today from the buyer.......
I have to say the only thing I like less than being pestered is pestering other people.
I understand your situation re shift work, but you have to admit that it requires grand total of 30 seconds to send a message like
"Money arrived/item has been sent/here's AusPost tracking number" . So I don't want to hear more excuses.
If you haven't sent the items I'd prefer to cancel the deal now. Please send the money back to
That parcel I posted 2 days eariler IS sitting in a Post Office in Victoria.
His message ABOVE was sent to me TODAY
Wed 01 Oct 2014 10:07
Processed through Australia Post facility
SUNSHINE WEST VIC
Obviously this person has a severe lack of PATIENCE .....OR expects in his world that things will appear in an ' instant '
If you want to know who it is....just message me .... so you don't get involved in any unnecessary ' arrogant messages ' from this individual.
Nobody needs this sort of behaviour directed towards them.
He is now amongst the other 2 individuals on my ' banned ' list from doing any ' business ' with.
It's a shame people have to be like this.....
