Oh and please, still consider shipping to Canada. I know that when you put settings to only ship to the lower 48, Canada needs goods too

So does Hawaii and Alaska but shipping costs are way to expensive.

That's why you charge them more for shipping. As an Alaska resident, I expect and accept higher shipping charges to get things (within reason, of course... we get our fair share of people trying to capitalize on us) but most everyone else is fair.

but anyway, sorry about the auction going like it did. send him a p-p-p-powerbook!

Oh man! I remember seeing that a couple years back. HILARIOUS!

So I listed my laptop for sale on Egay. I started the bidd at $625. No action at all for 7 days then at the last minute 4 mofos jack the bid up to over $5,900.

Now I'll need to file a non paying bidder report so I get that 105 dollar charge removed from my ebay account

Here is the listing.

Ok, so I just checked my email like 5 minutes ago and I get this message that Mr Mofo sent me payment to my PayPal account for $1900(he's a little short there). I'm like "CRAP" because that will make a real mess of things with PayPal.

Well I log into my paypal account and there's nothing there.
This stupid mofo sent a spoofed paypal email expecting me to bite.

I would really wish I could have this mofo in a padded sound proof room alone for a few hours. When I'm finished with him, it will make Abu Ghraib prision look like a spa.
His remains would then be put on public display as a warning to all cyberspace scammers and Spammers.


BTW. I get really really upset when people question my intelligence, when It comes to common sence crap.

THIS SITE should give you more than one idea what to do with him. If you want. I can get a stove sent to him. They're renovating my apartment complex, and I could talk to the management about shiping a stove to nigeria, VIA their money.

Send him a 10lb box of packing foam?

 

[KarenMarie]

You have every right to be upset and all, but your Auschwitz comment is in very poor taste.

I need to ship a desktop tower to a legit buyer.
3 cubic feet worth of packing peanuts will cost me 12 bucks.
I don't have that type of money to waste.

 

[Goosemaster]

This really sucks for people like me. I usually get stuff from ebay by proxy or whatever and don't have a lot of feedback.

Ok, I'll retract Asuchwitz and replace it with Abu Ghraib prision.

You know, thanks to all of these scammers, I think it's impossible for REAL people in Nigeria to get anything from eBay or any other service.

so true but i wonder what are scammers, if they aren't real people. fake people?

They steal peoples credit cards, paypal accounts(via phising) and egay accounts.

So yes, they are not real. They are using fake identities they stole.

Can we kill that which does not exist? If they're using fake identities and therefore they aren't real people, we can't really kill them when we maim/torture/shoot them, can we?

BURN TROLLS, BURN IN A F@@KING FIRE (I'm pissed at eBay right now)

The solution is incredibly simple. I agree with ebay about not blocking 0 feedback buyers. As soon as that was allowed, no one new would ever be able to buy something, because everyone would automatically block them.

Here's the solution: When a bid is received, the auction is extended by 5 minutes. That would help everyone get a fair price (and improve ebay's profits), but would somewhat eliminate those incredible bargains people occasionally get by sniping. Well, bummer... the vultures lose in this deal. But, the 5 minute extension would give people time to cancel bids from obvious scammers.
