Making extra money by scr€wing things up, damaging his customers who have to pay more...
"Sorry for the server problems." No, Thomas Kruger, that is not the real problem. Those things can happen, things can go wrong, people can make mistakes. What IS the real problem, is how you react to this. Or better, how you didn't, the moment you should've. Again!
If an error occurs, you should cancel/pause the auction, first solve the (server) problem and then go on. No, you just go ahead, let the auction continue, WHILE you're having problems.
And then, at the end of the auction time, you extend the auction with another day! So in the end people still loose bottles they thought they'd won/bought. Some people won't be able to check today, because they have other fish to fry. Other people who missed it yesterday now suddenly can bid on these bottles others should have gotten. And all these extra bids because of extending the auction for another day mean more money for you, because you charge 10% of the hammer price.
So while - as you call us - your 'valued customers' pay more because of your mistakes, you make more money out of it. What an incentive! Next to that we have to pay relatively more for shipping costs (if I loose a bottle because of the extented auction time, something that just happened, then the shipping costs per bottle go up for me). We pay for YOUR mistakes, you just make more money, say "sorry" in a mail, then go on and make the same mistakes again.
And if your valued customers complain about this, the only reaction they get is a lack of empathy and an overload of arrogance. Every time again!
This wasn't the first time you(r server) messed up. This wasn't the first time you were told to stop the auction as soon as there is a problem. So you know what problems this causes for us, still you continue making these mistakes, damaging your customers.
To you we're not valued customers, we're just value. We can be happy you're not a pilot. You'd still try to take off in a plane with serious problems.
