So I bought a pair of Xbox 360's a couple of weeks ago thinking that I could sell them on ebay and make $50. I put them up on ebay with buy it now prices.
One is purchased by some dumba$$ who is suposedly based in Pennsylvania and wants me to ship it to his son at the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
The other is purchased by some guy who claims to be from Missouri but just happens to be travelling in Nigeria.
I relist both of them, incurring fees in the process. This time I list them as $1 auctions with no Buy It Now price. One auction is won by a guy that types in all caps and uses words like U and UR. Not so surprisingly, he doesn't have any money, he just likes bidding on auctions.
Anyway, after relisting each of them three more times, I have finally sold one of them to a neurotic mother who emails me twice a day to check on the status of her Priority Mail package that took four days to get to her house instead of the usual 2-3. Never mind that I got Delivery Confirmation and Insurance without mentioning these things in the auction, she was sure that I was scamming her the whole way. Big surprise, the Xbox shows up at her house today.
An auction for the other xbox ended yesterday. In my auction I state that Paypal payment is required within 24 hours. I sent the winning bidder an invoice after the auction ended. No contact. I sent them another one this evening. I then get this gem of an email in my inbox:
U CAN GO F**K YOURSELF IMPATIENT C**K SUCKING P***Y!!! HAD U NOT EMAILED ME THIS I WAS ABOUT TO SEND PAYMENT. BUT NOW U CAN F**K RIGHT OFF AND SEND A REPORT CAUSE I REALLY DONT GIVE A F**K. YANKEE F**KING F*GG*T!
So now I've incurred about $75 in fees in ebay, my feedback will likely go to hell, and I still have an Xbox as well as a new semi-literate penpal.
Moral of the story: AT FS/T is a godsend, especially if you're a YANKEE F**KING F*GG*T like I apparently am.
