People can make ebay suck

So this past xmas I decide to get a gag gift for a friend, a sega NFL 95 game. To bring back the old feelings of joy from a game that brought us both pleasure and pain. I can show you the scars on my hand from punching many a door in defeat. Off to ebay I go of course "someone" will have it for sale. Sure enough, intermixed with bobble head Bob Costas dolls was the coveted game. $5. Easy. So I win the auction go to pay for it and paypal gave me the finger and says the user does not exist. Fine I'll wait for the guy to contact me. After all its Christmas and I have better things to do and have a very short attention span. So anyhow, what was I talking about? Bob Costas? No. Oh yeah the friggen game. ebay. Something.

So weeks past and I get an angry email from the guy that I reneged on the auction. Is that a word? Ok yeah so I did. Sorry I was busy and could care less about his stupid $5 game he can shove up his ass for all I care. For christ sake its not like is was an original copy of the Declaration of Independence or and authentic Whoppie Goldberg Inflatable raft. So the guy is all pissed at me and I basically tell him that I'm sorry but it was a busy holiday and I'm a very busy/bored/drunk man.

So to make a long story short I'm getting these email's from ebay telling me that I should pay my seller and I'm getting a warning and I'm the cause for Small Pox in a small town in bangladesh. So i send this guy another email asking to "let it die I will send you the $5"

He in turn says he is trying to get his money back for the commission paid to ebay. Now how much could that be? 30 or 40 CENTS tops!!! I told him I would send him some empties he can bring to the local recycler and get his money. What a dumb-ass. I know that this whole ebay thing has become a lifestyle and livelihood for all of those who can't get the night shift at the local McDonalds and I understand that the legitimacy of this "business" ranks up there with "guy who gives stickers out at WalMart" and possibly "Senior tire scrubber" at the local car wash, but to loose your mind over the commission paid to ebay over a "reneged" $5 auction has to rank up there with the top 10 reasons why people should, as Scooby would put it, "shit in their hand and sniff it"

God bless america!
