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!

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.

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.

Here’s another one:

I’m all for advances in technology; I embrace it! But I do have to say that I think it is very rude for people to be involved in text messaging while pretending to have a conversation with someone else. If I am eating dinner with someone at a restaurant, I would be highly offended if that person started text messaging someone else, and I think I would get up from the table and go home! I also think that text messaging while driving is very dangerous and should be illegal!
