Computers and/or Internet

Yuck! Makes me think twice about hotels, that is for sure!

I was thinking about buying some new glassware for our kitchen, and so I was searching the Internet for some new glasses. I found this instead! I know it is an old story, but it still freaked me out a lot!

So cute – dancing babies

My sister sent me the link to this adorable video of a compilation of babies dancing to “I’m a single lady.” So cute I wanted to share it with you! Hope you like it too!

I’ll fix their goat!

I have re-ordered the clothes from that same Ebay merchant that sent me the wrong items a few months ago and failed to make good on them.  The exact same items.  According to Ebay, the items were shipped.  When they arrive, you can just imagine what kind of feedback I’ll be leaving the merchant this time!

Paypal says it’s too late

My sister suggested that I put in a claim with PayPal to try to get the Ebay merchant to pony up with the merchandise, so I went to the PayPal website to lay out a claim.  I was quite annoyed when I realized that there is a 45 day limit to claims, and that the merchant that stiffed me had played me out over that 45 day limit!

So, with a little research I found that the purchase in question was actually charged onto my DiscoverCard, which gives me more time to dispute a charge!  So I called the DiscoverCard Customer Service today and explained the situation and they said that they will investigate and in the meantime will credit my account for the money.

Played for a fool

Last July I ordered several items of clothing from a merchant on Ebay.  When they arrived, one was not the size advertised, and one was damaged.  I noticed these flaws AFTER I left positive feedback.  (Note to self, inspect everything carefully before leaving positive feedback!) 

So I contacted the merchant, who told me that he did NOT want me to return them, but that he would replace them.  So I waited a couple of weeks, and asked for a progress report and was told “so sorry, we’ll be shipping them tonight.”  A couple more weeks, and still nothing.  My inquiries to the merchant have now remained ignored, so I am assuming that the merchant has “stiffed” me at this point and has no itention of doing the honorable thing.
