People are freaking stupid. (Amazon.com rant)

Per Amazon's rules, if you are selling an item, it must be listed under the same ASIN as it came from. So, for example, if I want to sell the Iron Man II DVD from a DVD/BluRay 3-pack, I have to list it under the actual 3-pack it came with, I can't list it under the Iron Man 2 single DVD disc product.

I listed the disc under the 3-pack ASIN, per the rules. Amazon's rules for condition state that if items are missing, it's ok to list as long as what your listing still plays.

So, I listed the item as "Acceptable", per Amazon's rules, and stated very clearly "DVD DISC ONLY. No other discs, case, artwork are included." I actually put that in all caps to ensure it was clear.

Well, this jackass gets the DVD and files a claim. I kid you not, he claims a)"This is a fraud", b)"I can't even play this disc", and c)"Your comments were certainly not noticble on the screen that I ordered from".

Seriously? Dude, first of all I don't know any bluray players that don't play DVDs. Second, the whole reason for "comments" is so you can see what you're getting. The comments are always visible.

So anyway, I detail this out in my response to the claim. Amazon rules against me.

Per our Community Rules for listing Amazon Marketplace items... Other models or editions cannot be listed on a similar ASIN. It is not sufficient to list the differences in the comments....Because you listed a different item/version than the one advertised on the detail page...

HUH?!?! I listed the disc under the ASIN it came from, just like the rules state.

Screw that jazz. Selling anything online sucks nowadays because people are stupid and can't read.

Dude nobody reads anything anymore...I can not tell you haw many times working retail how often there was an issue that if people had simply READ it would have solved the problem...and even in the face of printed information to the contray in front of them and read to them they STILL insist you are wrong.

It's called SRD. Selective Reading Disorder. A person inflicted with this horrible disease will only read the information that is important to them or in some severe cases, not at all. Example: if a sign reads "Two 2 liter bottles for 3 dollars, single purcase full price", the reader may see "two liter bottles" or ignore the "single purchase full price" portion all together.

There is also SHD. Selective Hearing Disorder. Most married men suffer from this. Just ask thier wives.

Maybe you should start calling it an Action Master class figure?

know one ever seems to read anything anymore, then by the time they realize whats right in front of them they try and play stupid because they feel dumb, people are lazy.

I once had this lady, she was buying something it was ringing up at $4 each the conversation went something like this...
"Hey that's supposed to be 2 for $10."
"Yeah but it came up as $4 you lucked out."
"So your not gonna give me the sale price?"
"Uhhhh it rang up on sale, at a better price."
"But the sign said 2 for $10."
"Yeah and it rang up at $4...that's less."
"So your not gonna give me the sale price? I wanna see your manager."
"Fine, fine...." So I overode the sale price and charged her $5 each.
"That's more than it was."
"Yeah...2 for $10 is $5 each. You wanted that price I gave it to you."
"I've had enough of your attitude get your manager here."

So I did, she restated the case that I was not giving her the sale price which the manager verified was 2 for $10, which was the price I did ring up, and suddenly I could see the light go off in her head...and she realized how stupid she was and said, "Fine void them out I don't want'em."

Moron.

What???? People being able to READ!!!! I thought they did away with teaching people to read when they stopped teaching common sense and history over 50 years ago.

I sell a ton of stuff on eBay. I always put US ONLY! NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING! NO EXCEPTIONS! So of course I got this idiot from Brazil (which was funny because it was for a Brazilian GI JOE) and he starts bidding on it. So I kindly remove his bid. So he bids again. I tell him I do not ship internationally and I will cancel his bids. Of course he still bids. So I block his bids and actually block him as a bidder. Then he emails me and asks if he can bid on it but have it shipped to his buddy in the US, then his buddy will ship it to him. Yeah I'm gonna jump all over that.... Idiots.

No selling anything online sucks nowadays because neither ebay nor amazon will ever side with the seller no matter how stupid or how obviously corrupt the buyers claims are.
