Yes! I know exactly how you feel. My buyer was a crazy, complaining before it got to her in Canada. Complained about shipping at some point too. She finally paid me after paypal gave her the money back by mistake. She wasn't happy about it, but fortunately I think it was too late for her to leave bad feedback.
These people want something for nothing. And that is exactly what she was hoping for. I didn't make a dime and probably went in the hole a little bit. She got a partial replacement in addition to the original. She thought she didn't have to send it back to get her money back. that is the only thing we got going for us. A word of caution, paypal should wait until you tell them you received the item back and it is what you shipped, etc. If it isn't, then you will have to appeal, etc... like I did. But don't let it go. If the closing date is close and you don't have it back, get on the phone. Good luck.
Try Bonanzle. I have started, but haven't sold anything yet. Ebay started out one day long ago and built, so maybe this Bonanzle will take off someday... or someone else. All we can hope for. I guess what we have to do is keep our prices as high as possible within reason to make up for the bad deals we get into. The cost of doing business. I thought about giving them up too, but if you sell and don't have another outlet, it is kind of hard to back off from them if you need the extra income. It sure puts a bad taste in your mouth!
Good luck and hope it all goes well for you.
