Now he's calling me cheap for not giving him $6 for shipping

lol

I am always clear that buyer is always responsible for return shipping.

This guy sounds like a real winner. You may get it back in pieces.

No refund for him then.

Took a left, no throttle, wet roads, got the tires to break out. Weee!

That guy seems either really stupid or he thinks he can pull a fast one on alfa. I'm glad Paypal is backing alfa.

Pay pal with the seller? Impossible!

The whole car was distinctly going sideways, which is either neutral or oversteer.

[MotF Bane]

Lift off oversteer, thought so.

I've sold and bought a bunch on eBay and never had an issue. I've had a couple of situations that nearly became issues (one guy who bought my item was horrible at communicating and another initially claimed something didn't work), but both were resolved. I have a bunch of stuff I need to sell in the coming weeks and I think I will probably end up throwing a bunch of stuff away.

It didn't slip long, just a split second. No squeal... At least, not that could be heard with wet roads and loud music

Was anything damaged?

 

[IndyColtsFan]

15 years ago or so, I was coming home in a rainstorm and I was at a point on this particular road where I started going down a steep hill to a stoplight on a busy highway. I must have tapped the breaks or something, and the car started spinning. Fortunately, no one was in the other lane so I was able to whip it around in a complete 180. Otherwise I could've been in real trouble!

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Ok, WTF -- end user emails me. She is trying to add a link to the Sharepoint managed "My Sites" tool. She gets an error message that the name must be less than 50 characters. "I tried to add the site but get this error. What do I do?" Seriously?

 

[Rubycon]

Wow that guy must be a real dolt if he cannot get an iphone to work. I can and that's saying a lot! :biggrin:

[MotF Bane]

Nope. This was rather deliberate, as I took the turn at a shade under forty. Technically speed limit, just most people slow down for corners.

Sounds like hydroplaning to me. Also sounds like fun.

I'm a bit surprised at that last. You get along so well with gadgets in general.

I sold a board, processor, and (IIRC) RAM as a combo on eBay once. The guy got it and emailed me back saying it wasn't working. He included some detail in the message (don't remember what) and I responded with "I'd be happy to refund the purchase price minus shipping, but it did work for me. Try x, y, z." He emailed back the next day saying it was working and something to the effect (in broken English) that he was just "testing me" to see if I was trying to scam him. WTF?!?!

Gadgets lose their technical appeal very quickly when the owner is no longer in control...

In some countries a swift smack across the face with a 25mm diameter heavy walled norprene hose qualifies as a test.

Tried it, it feels cheap, buggy, slow and worst of all all the phones feel like flimsy pieces of plastic Chinese detritus of Pangasius sanitwongsei. D:
