That trademe drama...

Ok, after telling that silly cow that I had contacted the police this was her reply (after three weeks of not replying)

"How lovely and empathetic of you.
You are only one out of 15 affected people who has had a problem.

My grandmother raised me and was my only family, dirt poor and dementia.

I hope your next of kin dies and you deal with eulogy, funeral and estate arrangements and the MONTHS of
things tidy up.

It is good to know the police are involved in such a serious matter.

Have no internet at home as pointed out several times and that is why first two emails had cell number.

I find it ironic you are suddenly so vigilant with your emails when the initial trade took 4 or 5 days between replies before you even committed.
Also how am I supposed to refund your account without an account number.

Even the trademe staff have been empathetic and told me to communicate with you."


Can someone recommend what I could say to her? Im not too sure how I should respond to this.

"please credit my account #_________ for the $___ paid

cheers
angry norwegian farmer"

ignore her bullshit get ya money and move on

stock answer imo to all 'difficult customers'

let the impassive judge do the crying

the law is an ass n' all

Keep it business like. It's not your problem she is a whiney bitch. While it's sad she had a bereavement, it's not an excuse. And it's even worse that she put it back on you. Say something like..

I'm sorry that you feel this is a personal attack on you, but that is simply not the truth. The lack of communication left me querying whether the goods were coming and thus I felt I was left with no other avenue but to contact the authorities. While I understand it has obviously been an extremely trying time for you, a commitment had been made to trade and without any conformation from your end I simply felt I had no other alternative. The money can be transferred to <insert account> or goods can be delivered to <insert address>.

ask to see a death certificate

I might wait till tomorrow to reply, I feel like abusing her atm, and I dont really want to do that.
I could possibly c&p HL's reply.

lol davil

HL now answers to HW

Haha, davil. :>

Don't abuse her, as tempting as it is it will only mean she probably wont give you your money back. Stupid cow, sounds like she could do with a read of gummi's anal article.

"Sorry to hear about your grandmother, that's awful news. I should further apologise for contacting the Police after your weeks of non-contact; I was a bit upset at the time due to the fact that I was violently raped at the beach that day, and also my dog Jeffrey died. We don't know exactly how, but his left eye-ball is about 3 sizes bigger than the other one and it's scaring the children.

I certainly appreciate how empathetic you're being during this difficult time for me. Please send the money to this bank account: xxxxxxx"

HAHAHAHAHAA!!! Send Yaks one!

why have you not disposed of Jeffrey's body you sick fuck

Send her some lolcats

I couldnt say that Yak!!

She might be telling the truth. Apologise. Give her an account she can pay into. Keep it simple. Don't be a drama queen who cant get over their stupid ego.

^^ This is what I ended up doing. I thought its not worth getting stupid about, and abusing her.
Cheers all.

damn I wish I'd been here to make a suggestion.

Didn't she continue to trade with other people during her ordeal?

"I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother but I've heard of that as an excuse before [I think I have] added to which you continued to trade with other people so forgive me for not accepting it at face value at first. I too have had people close to me die but I continued to communicate with people that I needed to communicate with because they aren't to know what's going on otherwise. Oh some more advice: while it's pretty ass that your grandmother died and you were close to her - my condolences, don't guilt trip me, makes you look like a bit of retard."

except nicer.
