caveat emptor

translation: eat me, ebay.


i just spent over a week, and countless hours (not to mention homicidal dreams), trying to get back $34.95 after a botched "buy it now" attempt from a guido fraud. "your item ships free" apparently means "i will bill your paypal $18 for shipping." then there's "i tried to email you," "paypal won't let me refund you," and five attempts at positive feedback coercion.


so i'm richer...wait, no, just broke even - with what i was on 8/31. i don't have what i tried to buy, i'm disillusioned, i spent 27 minutes on the phone, and i have carpal tunnel from typing up my treatise for 'paypal conflict resolution.' but i got my money back and i plan on reporting this a-hole for item fraud and feedback solicitation. my ebay days are done.


caveat sabominator.
