Pissed Off at eBay

[davidgillon]

So last night I found out that there had been a breakdown in communication and the wheelchair vendor had in fact paid for return postage a week ago.

But that just showed up another issue, eBay expect me to take it to the Post Office.

It's a wheelchair, it's large, it's bulky, once it's wrapped it won't even roll.

I'm a wheelchair user.

How do they expect me to get it there? Balanced on my head?

Grr!

I was particularly unhappy with the eBay phone operator's ''But who looks after you? Who gets your groceries?' Seriously?

Equally unimpressed by 'Put me through to your complaints department." "We don't have one" (Yet then gave me an address at the end of the conversation).

*grumble* *mutters darkly*

It's 20-fucking-16 - I get my groceries on the internet, like everyone else!

Teleport it. It's your compensatory disability superpower.

OH MY GOD how much do I hate the "who looks after you?" stuff. Especially now if I'm out in public, in which case either a) the friend/partner with me is treated as a carer, because obviously no one would spend time around a disabled person if they didn't have to! Or b) I'm on my own and treated as if I'm AWOL from aforementioned carer.

"i cannot possibly conceive of how you could possibly get around! what device would enable you to move independently??? what device would allow you to summon people to your house???"

Because "I DO in my OTHER WHEELCHAIR, BUT I CAN'T CARRY A SECOND WHEELCHAIR WHILE USING A WHEELCHAIR" is just so hard to grasp. A Nobel science prize will be awarded to the first person to understand this mystery.

No, wait. The opposite of that.
