Being the retro technophobe neanderthal that I am I recently sold an item on e-bay and bypassed the simple delivery and paid my own postage and hand wrote the postal address on the item package I had sold has I have done for the past seventeen years .
Of course e-bay generated its own label and tracking and I did not alter it to my tracking number that the post office had given me . The buyer received the item from me and left positive feedback .
E-bay withheld my funds because according to their tracking the item was still not delivered even though the buyer had left the positive feedback and was in receipt of the item. Fully aware I was going to get the runaround I contacted e-bay and was duly given the runaround by some AI generated bullshit which always left you back at square one . What is wrong with real human intelligence ?, oh sorry you have to pay and feed that even though e-bay must make billions .
Fortunately off of e-bay I found the e-bay call back number and spoke to a pleasant Irish gent who sorted it out for me . The Irish republic seems to have the monopoly on call centres these days having recently sorted my ninety year old Uncles phone out on EE and speaking to another Irish chap . My Uncle is deaf , my father is eighty three and very poignantly says old people today are being left behind and are really struggling with these technological advancements . It is a disgrace that old people are put through this especially with doctors appointments . Anyway I am going off Piste/Pista with this .
