I am one of thousands of sellers using eBay, who is at the end of my tether about the lack of support that is being offered, with regards to buyers who are making fraudulent claims and demanding unjustified refunds.
I have done everything that I can to try to reduce the risk of an unhappy customer. I have read your “Sellers Protection” policy, I have followed your guidelines to the letter. I have been open and honest about the description of my product, listed every piece of information about my product and done everything within my power to play by the rules set out by eBay. However, on this particular occasion, the buyer did not read my advert correctly, demanded a refund and opened a case against me.
Despite supplying supporting evidence to eBay, which:
confirmed that...

Dear Mary Barra,
My name is Chelsea Stecyk. My husband, Coleman, and I bought a 2014 Volt from the Dublin, CA Chevrolet in December of 2014. Up until this past weekend, I would have told you that the Volt has been great.
(VIN 1G1RE6E48EU173605)
Last weekend, my husband and I drove the Volt down to Los Angeles for a business trip. On Saturday, May 30, I was in the Volt by myself running some errands. As I turned left from an unprotected left turn, the Volt lurched forward and dropped in acceleration to 3mph. No matter how hard or far I pushed the gas pedal the car would not accelerate. I crawled through the intersection at 3mph with oncoming traffic going closer to 40 or 50 mph. as soon as I got to the other side of the intersection, I felt everything re-engage and the...

Dear Captain Dickweed,
When I met you at the impressionable age of 16, I had stars in my eyes. Wow, I said. Look at that sexy middle 20’s guy drinking strawberry hill and smoking weed. Little did I know, you were a deadbeat dad to your older children? Little did I know, you still lived with your parents? Little did I know, you were immaturity wrapped in irresponsibility? I was too busy being excited that you would want me.
I was abandoned by my mother and in line to be thrown out by my father. You, being 10 years my senior, looked like my knight in shining armor. My teenage rebellion against authority fit quite well into your world. Your refusal to mature and my lack of maturity were great bedmates. You, 26, never stopped to consid...

Dear America,
I didn’t choose to be a member of the Thin Blue Line, but as people say about so many other families, I married into it. I chose to share my life with a man who is good and honest and kind and an upstanding citizen, and he also happens to be a police officer. So I have been indoctrinated into a culture of men and women who perform a job that very few would choose to do, a thankless job, a job that could take their lives at any time. Being a police officer has always been a dangerous one, but today, it is more treacherously perilous than ever, for I am writing this letter one day after the brutal murder of two New York City police officers. In the wake of the turmoil in Ferguson, a movement sprang up and is spreading like a plague across this country, seeping into...

Dear Every Single Business Owner That Is and Ever Will Be,
As a potential customer of your business I want you to know something important: I will still buy your products if you need to increase the pricing in order to ensure worker safety and dignity.
Too many times I have heard captains of industry explain away horrific worker conditions and literally criminal behavior all in the name of keeping prices down.
You may think that as a consumer I am motivated solely by price, but that is incorrect. If I hear a company treats their workers well, I am more likely to purchase their product over a cheaper-priced item from a competitor. The reverse is also true. If I hear a company treats their employees poorly, then I am more likely to buy a more expensive product from a competitor...

Dear academic publishing houses,
Why are your books so effing expensive? What's with paperbacks that cost 50 bucks? What's with hardcovers that cost 75 or a hundred bucks? What's with Kindle e-books that cost forty or fifty bucks? They're electrons, for crying out loud! What's with medium-important books by medium-important philosophers going out of print all the time? (Even On The Plurality of Worlds was out of print throughout the late 90s, and that’s an important book by an important philosopher.) What's with a lot of books costing over 200 bucks used?
I realize that there's not much demand for these books, and that there are a variety of costs associated with producing them, and stuff, but come on. You look at these prices and it's hard to think they're set by someone who wants...

Dear Apple,
Please react and replace our stain damaged Retina screens. For an increasing number of MBP Retina screens are loosing their AR or anti-glare coating.
RESUME
Recently the number of people registering at the Apple Support discussion thread and the FB group (links below) have increased rapidly. Users from around the world are reporting stains on their Macbook Retina screens.
But Apple is brushing it off as "cosmetic", not covered by warranty. Furthermore they are blaming their customers for wrong cleaning, for having greasy and oily fingers and for carrying the laptops in bags.
We the affected users are angry and frustrated, not least after banking our heads agains the closed doors of Apple’s Executive Relations in Ireland to be referred back to Apple Support...

The MD/CEO Coca Cola Nigeria and Worldwide Sir/Madam
Let me start by saying a ‘Big kudos’ to your company for a fantastic idea, “Share A Coke”. It’s indeed an awesome innovation! But then let me quickly bring to your notice that following the wonderful strategy of share a coke, collect a coke or buy a coke, whatever name you call it. Where someone’s name is written on the (plastic) Coke bottle or Can.
I have noticed with total dismay that ‘Nobody Has Shared or Bought any form or shape of Coke for me’! And this is because, according to my little research, your company hasn’t deemed it fit to include my name, BOLAJI/SNAZZY, on your ‘Share A Coke’ production plans. This is grossly unacceptable! Considering the fact that i own several t-shirts with an inscription of the above brand and...
