I hate being an ebay bitch
But I have been dicked around too many times! This chick won an auction THREE weeks ago. She bid $40 on a cel that is worth at least twice that. She said she was going to pay via paypal. I hadn't received payment by Monday, so I emailed her and told her she had until Wednesday to pay me. As of this morning she hadn't paid me, so I filed a Non Paying Bidder Alert against her. I hate being mean.
In other news, I must be a threat to national security! At the Louisville airport, they made me run my shoes through the x-ray machine. Then, on my way home, at the Kansas City airport, I got randomly searched. AND my suitcase got randomly searched at LAX. My advice to women travelling: Do NOT wear an underwire bra unless you want a security worker patting down your boobs. Same with jeans... wear cotton everything! No metal!

i am having the opposite ebay problem. i sent payment, money order, weeks ago!! nothing. no replies to my emails either. unfortunately, it's a low item on my emotional list of things to deal with, so he's getting away with it right now. but not for long.

Don't wait too long Jodi! If you wait too long it will be too late to get your money back and file fraud and whatnot! What was the item? Cost? You might try and get his personal info from ebay. Don't actually call him, but it might scare him into thinking you will.

so if i wear an underwire bra, i get free feelies? wooo wooo! :P
you're not being mean, becky. the lame person who isn't paying you is being irresponsible and i have limited patience for that. shmecky power! i'm not quite sure what that means, but i'm sure it roughly translates into something that implies you're right and they're stupid.

Well, remember what the security people look like before you decide you want to be felt up.
And shmecky power makes me think of puppy power. What is that from? Scrappy Doo? Or Pound Puppies? I can't remember.
And an update on the dumbass ebayer: she hasn't responded at all, so I am just waiting for ebay to let me cancel the transaction. I think I have like 7 more days or something.
