Me on eBay: I'm selling my mixer
Dude: I'll buy it here's $200 Me: awesome I've just sent it off, here's the tracking number. (delivery day passes) (another week passes) Dude: Hey send me the tracking number Me: I did send you the tracking number. And UPS says they delivered it. And they say whoever signed for it, signed with your name. Dude: I want full refund NOW! (Dude initiates eBay complaint resolution procedure) ($200 leaves my account) eBay: What happened? Me: (Tells the full story) eBay: (Almost immediately) What?! Fuck that guy! Resolved in your favor! ($200 restored) Me: Yeah! Fuck that guy! I feel good now. |

$200 for a mixer? You must have some fancy kitchen appliances!

Dude checked off "didn't send tracking number" and "could not communicate with" on the complaint resolution form -- when his question and my clear-as-balls answer, containing the tracking number, was right in the item's eBay entry.
Some people may not be familiar with how scams operate, and why you can't just try stuff at random and have it work out for you. |

I thought it was a KitchenAid Mixer.
The price seemed about right. And I'm local. |

I just confused the heck out of some sales guy at Directv. I got a call just now from Directv, and the guy was spieling about wanting to give me a great deal on HBO/Cinemax. Now, today, we just learned that the new job is a go, and I have been wanting to get HBO to see the new GOT series, so his timing was impeccable. As soon as he stopped talking I said "Sign me up!" He stopped for a couple of seconds, stuttered and then continued. When he stopped I told him "I don't think you expected me to say that, did you." "No, Ma'am, I did not."
It made me laugh. |
