That eBay-purchase-fear feeling...

I have to admit—it does sound a bit fishy as an excuse.
HOWEVER— I've learned to give people the benefit of the doubt, and in many cases, this turned out to be beneficial.
She may be simply be behind in orders (happens with online retailers) or was trying to juggle ebay sales AND a wedding ( not certain how often this happens, but…).

 

I think she absconded with darkbulb's $17.60 and is halfway to Tijuana on her "honey moon".

 

The entire message read:
"Hi, Sorry, I am getting married on Monday and it is hectic! =D Yes, we did, thank you. I went to the Post Office today, but they had closed 15 min before I got there. I will mail it out either Monday, if I have time between running or Tues for sure! It is packed, addressed and ready to go! =D Thank you again! [Name] ~"

I still have faith

 

Good man…..

I think I saw this scam on 60 Minutes tonight. It's a Nigerian prince or something like that. I wasn't really paying attention.

 

I think she is being honest, If she wanted to lie she said she was going to a funeral. Nobody asks you anything or expects anything of you tell them that. If you start telling people you are getting married you end up having to answer loads of questions and having to make up loads of fake answers about your fake wedding.

I am curious why she is is going running on her wedding day?
if I have time between running

Guess she must really want to get in that wedding dress.

 

I thought she meant it like 'running around'

 

Ah that makes far more sense.

 

Hmmm.... you seem to know a lot about alibis and cover stories.

 

17.60 in Mexico is one hell of a honeymoon,,,shes gone. And so is the cash.

 

Ha ha, This from the axe weilding psycho.Actually I don't think The American Psycho actually bothered with alibis.

The truth is when I was a teenager my first real job was as a telephone salesman. Working there you quickly become an expert in lying.
But I am pretty honest now.

 

No communication...BUT...I now have a tracking number of a package with something in it making its way over to me...
ETA on Monday and I'm hoping it will actually be what I bought

 

Me and my cats have been praying for this.

 

That Z3 is making more and more sense

 

I know, right? Half the cats want a Z3 and half want a Z4. I'm the split vote so it's really been stressful for me. Your tales of making some poor woman mail you a package on her wedding day have made me realize that world is a confusing and complicated place, and I just need to mellow out a bit.

 

Hey, I'm not the one that sets up an auction ending when she's getting married

 

The happy moment of having it delivered today was w/in a few minutes replaced by frustration.
I had bought a phone that was being sold as new.
In the package is a phone with;
- the stylus missing and included is a 50 cent plastic mini stulys,
- the original back of the phone missing and instead a ugly after-market plastic back,
- original battery replaced by a generic brand,
- the whole things reeks of smoke.

Never opened a dispute on eBay before but this one will be disputed.

[sigh]

 

Sorry to hear about your phone. That really stinks.

 

Yup.

Or she's walked down to Jim Bob's bait and beer shop
and right now she's on her way to the pier with a six pack of Bud
and a Jumbo box of night crawlers!
