Remember my try with this seller and the dead fish? Remember the seller dropped the fish off on a Saturday at the Post Office to let it sit there until it shipped out on Monday evening. Well out of the blue, without contacting me, he just sent out another fish. And guess when he sent it again...That's right, Saturday. And I just checked the tracking and it is just sitting there. His Ebay ad clearly says shipping is Mon-Wed. Not to mention it is going to be below zero throughout the Midwest over the next two days.

I was going to tell him/her to just forget it that I didn't want another fish when it was time to resend it...But he just shipped it out of the blue. Besides the Saturday drop-off and cold weather, what if I was out of town or something? This seller is an idiot.

I asked him to try and retrieve the fish from the Post Office on Monday. I doubt it is possible or that he will even try.

I would make a complaint to Ebay, so this guy isn't allowed to sell fish anymore.

Mailman handed me the package. Fish D.O.A. Water temp <55. If the seller just would've contacted me before he resent the fish.

He's offered a refund or to resend another fish later. He has been very nice about it but my complaint is sending the fish on a Saturday...Not to mention at a time when half of the country is below zere in temp.

I want to complain to Ebay about a shipping money refund...Not because of the $15 itself, but that he ships on Saturdays and not Mon-Weds as he advertises. Maybe it will make him reconsider how he ships live fish.
