Long Ebay Shipping Video & RANT about return - Ship with Mellissa #95

[@madelynnadams8666]

I stayed for the whole time and you kept me company all morning! Loved this!

[@freshbloominclothing]

That’s so sweet. Glad you enjoyed the company and my rant!

[@niesemch]

Mellissa you are a person that is so fair. And takes pride in your eBay store. The care you take is amazing. The customer services online is so bad. So many are using AI. And the ones that used to have call centers here are moving the overseas. It's really bad now. Anyhow. We are rooting for you !!. And hopefully they will ban that person from selling on eBay.

[@donnae2445]

I’m amused watching a shipping video with the item I ordered from you being shipped ! Thank you very much. I appreciate the extras and it’s so funny, that one you held up. The poly-mailer was the first one I used yesterday. Nice extra thick Groovy print.

[@sharonbruno7873]

You are so thoughtful, and you looked really cute with make-up. I think you can be funny and your not even trying to be. Their are times I think my summers are over and then they show up. Enjoy your videos.😊

[@tonyarush5871]

PS I hear you with the pain thing. I had severe endometriosis but I had a hysterectomy in my late 20s best thing ever. Glad you are having better days.

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you for sharing your experience - I'm so glad you're feeling better!

[@tonyarush5871]

Never seen you angry but rightfully so. That's infuriating. You are definitely nicer than me about it. I can't stand liers and scammers. You take such care and pride in your items and work. Some people are just awful. I hope it gets resolved in your favor soon. Menopause is awful. I've been going through it for about a year😮 now and I'm just over it already. Happy New Year

[@freshbloominclothing]

I hear you about the menopause. I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to fair when the FL summer starts in April/May and it is humid and 90-100+ degrees. It is crazy how our bodies cannot regulate its own temperature!

[@loriarmes7153]

I so enjoy your videos. Even with your health issues, you are still a positive light. I’m thankful to have found your Mom’s channel, which led me to yours! I can’t wait to get the Anuschka bag❤. Wishing you and Bare a fabulous 2025! Lori

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you so much Lori! That means so much to me and I'm so glad you love my Mom's channel too!

[@chromegirl2175]

Thank you for the cat tissue paper for my Anuschka leopard wallet/makeup bag, and the cute pen! I love cats and do cat rescue, and have my own (all rescues ; our newest is a feral cat that had to have one of her legs amputated due to being attacked in the wild). Wishing you and Bare a very Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you for rescuing cats! Happy New Year :)

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Happy birthday month, Mellissa & also happy new year! I hope 2025 is a safe, happy & healthy year for you & Bare. 🥰 Edit- you have the most stunning skin. You’re blessed to have your mom’s genes!

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you so much! You are so kind!

[@pmorrison9758]

you do a beautiful job packing and shipping your items!

[@thefriendlyfootprint6892]

Oh my! What a great order! These supplies make shipping so much more fun🎉 I❤❤❤ everything-especially the tissues with gold (and the adorable hedgehogs!) and the various size poly bags. I’ll look forward to the sale! Thanks again!

[@joannadestefano6911]

So sorry that happened to you about the bras. Would be good to share that buyer to let people be aware of wrong doings. Enjoy your video, learning so much. You are so sweet and remind me of the All American Doll. So cute!

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you so much! That's the sweetest compliment!

[@donnae2445]

Oh my gosh, you are so right to be upset and to feel the way that you do because I have felt the same way and it shouldn’t have to take that many calls. The problem is that they have new customer service reps that gets to go in to a catalogue of pre-written Answers and they just click on all these sentences and string them together to make a letter and send it to you and they don’t even do their work by looking at the notes and the problem is the more notes you have the less likely that they are going to read them because they are timed and that is the nature of a call center it is basically easier to just refund the buyer and let them keep their purchase because Ebay wants to be Amazon for the buyer and when you have a seller who figures out how to screw other sellers as a way to source products they are not happy when you put a wrench in it.

[@freshbloominclothing]

You're totally right about the canned responses and the lack of empathy from customer service reps, and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this!

[@MompeaTexan76]

Love love love the longer vids!

[@marymcdonald3778]

I live in Delaware too. One of the best perks is no sales tax on nearly everything except vehicles and less than .50 % on homes!

[@ReneeBrown-k1r]

Great video,I love the long ones!

[@janiebishop272]

Mellissa I love watching you but I’d love to see you doing more thrifting. 😘

[@freshbloominclothing]

I would also love to do more thrifting! Haha! A lot of stores around here will not allow filming of any kind.

[@MompeaTexan76]

We need to see more of your desk, the view changed after your walk with Bare.

[@freshbloominclothing]

Absolutely! Sorry about that!

[@loriarmes7153]

Surely that was a BOT answering your email from eBay. If their customer service department is that inept (and doesn’t have spelling/grammar check) that’s a big problem! Shame on them!😡

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Happy New Year and stay healthy and well with your Family 🎆🍀🥰

[@juliegreen6074]

I don’t like fireworks either

[@suewinston-elliott2674]

❤ Happy New Year ❤

[@freshbloominclothing]

To you as well Sue!

[@rwang9654]

eBay has scammed the sellers like that many many times, there should be a class action lawsuit again them for doing that.

[@charlenejones68]

Hi Mellissa! Watching from Anchorage, Alaska. 🙂✌

[@freshbloominclothing]

Wow! That's a long way to be watching! Thank you so much Charlene!

[@saradean5523]

LOL Free shipping has absolutely nothing to do with the return issue you had - why are people so ignorant - that is a huge pet peeve of mine and my biggest pet peeve is "doing someone else's job" - like you having to call a jillion times to get help. Why can't they just do their job - make appropriate notes in your account when they say they will and actually refer back to the notes when you call or correspond again.UGH! Makes me furious too!

[@thefriendlyfootprint6892]

I’m guessing the letter was AI. I’ve not been impressed with all the new AI features that are making it so difficult to get help when you need it😢 I’m hopeful they get so many complaints they use it less.

[@kirstenscholz4482]

At minute 2:12 : 10 your hair is soooo bright schining 🙂

[@jellybeanparis584]

Hi Melissa! Watching from Los Angeles, California

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thanks so much Jelly Bean :)

[@kathykehoe1754]

Horrible and bad on Ebay!!! You are a loyal Ebayer and this is how they treat you????? Hopefully another platform will give Ebay a huge run for their money!!!!!

[@jellybeanparis584]

When you ship your packages, do you use a PO Box as a Return Address for safety purposes?

[@freshbloominclothing]

I have used a PO Box for years and loved it.

[@loriarmes7153]

Where do you sign up for the news letter?

[@freshbloominclothing]

I'm not ignoring you. It use to be right at the top by my little store front and they have taken it away. I still have people on my newsletter list so I know it is possible. Give me a few days to see if I can find it. Sorry about that!

[@dianemelton]

I thought this year EBAY had dedicated itself to improve treatment of sellers. What would Karen say?

[@freshbloominclothing]

She would also be mad on my behalf :)

[@victoriasun6386]

Nice video why are you packing orders even if they don’t have to be shipped today

[@freshbloominclothing]

So I could make the last video of the year and the longest in awhile. Some of my viewers like long videos :)

[@mirovick]

I have had good luck with bioidentical hormones for Menopause relief.

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you! I'll check into it today.

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂

[@freshbloominclothing]

Hello! I hope you are getting some good sleep. It tickles me whenever I see your name and know that I have a friend across the world :) Thank you for being here Kirsten!

wrapping tissue paper was invented in the 1890s

[@freshbloominclothing]

Thank you!

[@hangingtrends640]

Ebay is on my last nerve. I had a person give me negative feedback, they said i sent them the wrong thing, I sent spiderman, they said it was a doll. They sent a pic of a doll. I never seen this doll, i sent the correct item. I have free returns for 30 days, they never opened a return, but they are saying i still sent them the wrong thing, so i messaged the customer and asked them to please open return if i sent the wrong item. They wont! If i sent the wrong thing, why not open a return? I asked them to remove the negative feedback, they responded, you did all the right things, but we werent there when customer opened package, we dont know what you sent! Again, if i sent the wrong item, why not open a return. They are terrible when it comes to the sellers. Now i have a negative feedback and theres nothing i can do. My guess is, maybe the buyer made a mistake, now they went a wall, now im stuck with negative feedback that is totally undeserved. Its insane how they treat their sellers.

[@freshbloominclothing]

That is INSANE! I am so sorry! How in the world does that make any sense?!? I'm mad for you!

[@claire2d268]

[@dianemelton]

It sounds like you are talking to an AI Bot. Not a human. My hair would be on fire.

[@ebayshopgirl]

So, you need to call on the phone and get a rational person on the phone. The buyer obviously wanted a free return. The writing sounds too awful for AI. Ebay usually sides with the buyer. I accept returns, buyer pays. I do that because it’s just easier.

[@KLeonardM]

great video

[@juliessignlanguageclass7739]

Just recently your videos have started having ads literally about every 5 minutes. Besides being annoying, I tend to listen to you on a bluetooth speaker in a different room from where my computer is, so I feel like I constantly have to go back and forth to hit the SKIP button. While I would like you to get rick from ad income, is there any way you could make them like 10 minutes apart? Thanks.

[@claudiapastor]

By now I am convinced it all depends on the device you watch. I used to cast videos to my smart tv, with chrome cast, and they were constantly interrupted for sets of at least 5 different ads… longer sets of ads than on my iPad where most channels have only one of two ads. I started to observe and in my iPad or my iPhone I get no ads in Mellissa’s videos, not one single ad when I watch her on KZbin app on my iPad. Been watching this video and still no ads for me. I’m not in the US though. Not sure it has something to do as I get loads of ads everywhere.

[@freshbloominclothing]

Absolutely! I can do that! I just went into this video and turned a lot off. Thank you! KZbin makes me add them now and I didn't think I had a say. But it seems like I can do it after I publish. Thanks!

[@freshbloominclothing]

I spaced them out every 12-20 minutes now. Sorry about that! I have no idea why there were so many! I'll watch out for this in the future. Thanks for letting me know!

[@lisavigorito8101]

Hi Melissa, Groups that I belong to on Facebook all say to not call Ebay, but to message them on Facebook. The Facebook group is better to deal with.

[@freshbloominclothing]

I have messaged them on FB. Several times.

[@pickypants9696]

At the very least it's the principal of the situation that would make me fight for a refund. Have you tried contacting eBay For Business on Facebook instead? Sellers seem to have better success contacting those folks when it comes to getting issues resolved in their favor.

[@freshbloominclothing]

I have. I have contacted FB many times. Thank you!
