Original: A few days ago, I downloaded a second hand transaction APP and I sold several things which I don’t need any more. Everything was going very well, because I can clean my room and others can get almost new things for/at the(?) cheap price. But in our life, we can’t do everything smoothly and there should troublesome things happened.
After I sold several second hand items, one of my buyers gave me a message in which she told me that she haven’t received the items yet and there may something wrong with shipping way. Then I felt I have the responsibility of contacting to the shipping company to check what’s happened with it. In China, I think it’s not easy to find a people who can tell you the detail or what exactly happened soon, so I called a lots of phones.
