Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Yep, we've had several frosts overnight here and another forecast for tonight. All my tender veg in pots are now moved overnight to a sheltered spot. I shan't be planting any of them out for a couple of weeks I think.

Flipin' cold stood outside chatting with the neighbours this evening at the 8 o'clock clap.

eBay people. They buy something on a Mid Saturday morning (from a person, not company) and email Sunday evening for an update. . . . . as if it'll be dispatched by now or on its way . . . .

Ebay again. First bad feedback I've ever had as a seller. I sold something just as the government started the lockdown and we were isolating our whole family as my son had a cough anyway. I realised part of the item was at my Dad's, two hours journey away, so contacted the buyer saying I couldn't get it as I couldn't travel (and my vulnerable Dad couldn't have visitors or leave the house) and I reversed the transaction and cancelled the order straight away, within a few hours of the listing ending.
I had no idea at the time but it seems Paypal too a couple of weeks to transfer the money back to him and now he's left feedback for me saying I changed my mind and didn't bother to send it and it took him weeks to get his money back. The way he's worded it sounds like I just changed my mind and then tried not to refund him and he had to fight for his money back. I even explained the situation to him all the way through the process. Weeks later he's left this lying feedback and it seems there's nothing I can do about it apart from use the 80 characters max to reply to the feedback and explain to other prospective buyers.

you should be able to raise it with eBay to get it resolved.

Pulled my back, big time. Can't stand straight, having to use a walking stick

[Adam Ef]

I'm going to try. Still in the middle of an eBay dispute with someone who is refusing to refund or send postage for something he sold me that is actually broken and he knows it but is being as stubborn and difficult as possible. So looks like tomorrow will be lots of time trying to contact eBay for both issues.

Bugger! That’s not good Dave. I feel your pain, having injured my back a short while ago . How did you do it?
