foreigner on ebay should die since he cant read

[hans007]

i recently sold something on ebay, valued at over 700 dollars. some idiot from singapore as usual wins it even though it says US only auction. now we all know, malaysia, indonesia, singapore, poland, the eastern block and all these shady countries, are horrible places that send things like counterfeit money orders and use stolen credit cards.



so i tell him, i cant send it to you unless you have a US mailing address, and pay via paypal or money orders only. So he says i have a shipping address in boston, send it there. so he goes i'll pay with a money order. and i go ok fine.


so he says he needs my social security number to make a international money order. i'm like yeah right, you scamming jack hole, go away, i am canceling this whole deal. so now he wants to give me a negative! can you believe that.

i've got 317 positive feedback. and no negatives. arg, i'm so mad.

Perhaps instead of ranting you should have asked us if it's legit for him to be asking for your SSN ...

Somehow I doubt it is, but I've never done international business, so I don't know.

bah , he's already pissed me off and its not like i know him or give a rats ass about him, i could care less if a boulder fell on him and killed him. he's already got one negative for doing a similar thing.

ok ok , maybe we can just break his computer and throw it at him./

That's why people call it eGay. Sorry... you deal with real people... and real people suck.

dude i have sent an international money order before (to canada) and there was nothing asking about neither my SS# or the recipents'.

 

[RossMAN]

I would have sent him a fake SSN.

 

[Kevin]

Tell him you don't have a SSN. And I wouldn't trust PayPal from him either...

I gave up on ebay two years ago. It was just one headache after another. One guy sent me a 2 year old radar detector that was advertised as brand new, and it wasn't even the same model. I had to bicker with the fool for two weeks before he gave me back my money. Another guy bought some CDs from me. He emailed me to say he broke one of them while taking it out of the jewel case. He wanted his money back. I said no way, you broke it. He gave me this unreal negative feedback saying that I sent him and empty jewel case.

People on ebay are stupid lamers, kids, headcases and cheap bastards.

Exactly, send him on a goosechase. Better yet, forward his emails to the fraud people at ebay so you have a case if/when he does leave a negative.

How do you know that wouldn't be someone's real SSN? Hmmmmmm...

He wanted the SSN to probably screw you over. Sounds like a real hassel

yeah that thought occured to me but anyone can just randomly think of some digits.

Besides wouldn't you at least need their name to do any sort of damage/ID theft?

 

[godmare]

it's called 'eGay' for a reason....

 

[pinoy]

why don't you just tell him that he don't need your SSN to send a money order. Name and address are the 2 important things.
!!!

 

[Evadman]

Why doesn't someone just sue ebay to make them remove illegitimate heatwares and all their other fvckups?

 

[machintos]

I'm indonesian who's here in the us for study purposes...
trust me, we don't need your ssn for international money order.
Heck, I didn't even know what ssn was until I got here....

SHADY!

 

[yodayoda]

if you need a SS# here is a good one: 123-45-6789. how about 555-00-1212? i don't know, get creative!

 

[ChrisIsBored]

Uhhhh think guys...

SS# + your name/address of where to send the money to = all the info needed.

I'd watch your credit ratings if you ever "accidently" did something that stupid....

 

[vegetation]

They wont care, the negative will not be removed.

Better yet, forward his emails to the fraud people at ebay so you have a case if/when he does leave a negative.

 

[ReiAyanami]

tell him you dont want SARS and that he has been quarantined by the US.

Wow your parents let you use the computer that early in the morning? They need to keep your Internet-usage on a stricter watch because it's easy to run across the fearful gay people.

No, it is not legit to ask for his SSN.

Ebay investigations are little more than lip service, on the one hand I had a buyer who didn't know what a super socket 7 motherboard was and thought he could put his SLOT A athlon into it, long story short, ebay doesn't ask me what happened, they just sent 1 email saying my account has been banned for poor trading practices. While using my father's account I sold a laptop LCD, and clearly state in the auction you cannot use CC paypal, some idiot using an @aol email address tells me that is the only way he will pay, I am not going to see any money from that lamer.
