check if it was still about, I did still want it!
Got a call back today, "it was put with some old PCs and they've all
been taken away this morning.."
Would they have done the same if it had been an iPad? Or it it had
sold for more than a pittance? I'd certainly have paid more!
I'm on the verge of giving up on ebay. In the past few months I've had:
- One seller cancelled my bid five minutes from the end of the auction
and closed it as "item no longer available." Then sent me an extremely
rude email accusing me of "wasting her time", "trying to get a valuable
item for nothing" and "ripping her off".
The item in question? An old Amiga software disk, sans any form of
packaging... just the disk. Not even a particularly rare one either.
For bonus points, they keep changing their damned user ID.
- Another whackjob whom I paid ?20 for a SCSI card, then emailed me a
day later to say "the postage was too low". "OK, how much does it come
to?"... "total would be ?49 but I need it sending by bank transfer."
I politely declined and asked for a refund.. he refused. One PayPal
claim in my favour (and after screwing several other people) later...
ebay NARU'd him. Good riddance.
Both of these crazies are now on my block list. Except the first one
keeps dropping off when she changes her damned user ID...
