Well I've been buying and selling on E Bay for a while now. This week I had the crazies excuse for not being able to buy something he bidded on and won. I thought it would be good to post it here so we can laugh about it. If any of you have any stories or crazy excuses I think this would be a great spot to post it.
This just happen to me this week. Now the guy is from Spain and he wanted to know what the price for shipping would be from here to there. So I went to the post office found out the weight and the price for it and sent it to him. This is what he wrote. Dear vegaboy420, Hello, I am a user of Spain and would like to know which would be the shipping costs, thanks- pacolaramimbrera Dear pacolaramimbrera, I'll check for you and I will give you a price in an hour. - vegaboy420 Dear pacolaramimbrera, The weight on it is 1 lb. 8oz. The shipping is up to $24.00 in American funds. It takes 6-10 days for arrival. - vegaboy420 Dear vegaboy420, Hello, Thank you for writing to me very fast. - pacolaramimbrera Now it sounds like the guy can speak and read engish pretty good right. Now he won the the auction and this is what he writes to me. Dear vegaboy420, HELLO, DO NOT READ GOOD, COMES THE EMPTY BOX HAS BEEN A FAILURE, I FEEL AS, BUT UNDERSTAND YOUR VOTE ANY FAILURE CAN GET THIS, WHAT I FEEL, THANKS. NO ENGLISH WRITING WELL - pacolaramimbrera Dear pacolaramimbrera, Yes it's an empty box. - vegaboy420 Dear vegaboy420, Hello, then is not what I was looking for, sorry. It's my fault - pacolaramimbrera Now the idiot doesn't know how to read and write english but the ending respond had me and my wife sayin WTF?. Thank God for second chances. |

LOL. Holy back out, Bat Man!
Man, this is going years back...but I had a guy buy like 12 transformers from me. He asked about 2 - 3 questions on each piece, so needless to say, he was alive & well. The auction ended, and he requested an invoice. Since he won so many items (that, let's just say, did pretty well auction wise), I told him that shipping was on the house. He replied, said thanks, and that he would be mailing out a M.O. Well, about 10 days went by, and I e-mailed him asking when the MO was mailed. No response. I gave it a day and e-mailed him again. No response. So I start researching, and see that not only has the guy bid on other stuff AND won, but also "paid immediately". So I file a Payment Reminder against all 12 items. Again, no response. Time passes...and I file a Non Paying Bidder Report against all 12 items...again, you guessed it, no response. I win the disputes and get my FvF's. I leave him negatives against the transaction...and he e-mails me saying "WHAT THE F#(K did you leave me negatives for?!?!?!1 I have a diabetic doorter (real spelling, I kid you not...you can spell diabetic but not daughter, nice, lol) that's more important that your piece of sh1t transformers." Gotta love eBay |

Ever run into some nut at a bus stop that tries to tell every stranger they run into every problem they have? Well I had someone do that to me on ebay.
When I emailed them why I hadn't still recieved my payment, they went into a rant of everything going on in thier life all the way from thier spouse cheating on them to a kid-napping and etc.
