Okay, this is a rant.  So if you don't want to 
read a rant, please do NOT continue ....








You're still here?  Don't say I didn't warn you. 
(But thanx in advance for continuing)




So many of you know I've been selling cels, 
mostly on ebay so I can get them quickly out of 
my celbooks.  I don't think I've realized how 
many non-payers and difficult people that are on 
ebay.  First I had that international customer 
who wanted EMS and sent only half the payment for 
it.  (I sucked up the rest of the cost to get 
them off my back and they complained that I 
didn't leave them POSITIVE feedback.  Like huh?)  
Then I have the non-payer who a day before I can 
peg him for his apparent 3rd nonpayment suddenly 
emails saying he hasn't heard from about the 
auction. (Like what about the 3 emails I sent 
plus, the ebay reminder, plus the ebay nonpayment 
alert that was sent?  So maybe he didn't get MY 
emails but what about ebay, right?)  Okay, then 
there's the guy who hadn't sent payment (I sent 
out the usual reminders and alerts).  I get an 
email from him on Fri saying payment was sent 
priority mail on Tues and to email when it 
arrives.  Forget the fact that he's already 
surpassed the date I needed payment (stated in 
the auction).  Saturday comes and no payment (I 
sent out an ebay alert).  Then today I get this 
THREATENING email from this guy.  How I don't 
respond to his emails, how I'm ripping him off, 
how he's going to take LEGAL action against me.  
Quelle coincidence his payment arrives today ... 
sent regular mail (not priority mail like he 
claimed it was) and it's NOT a paypal payment nor 
a POSTAL money order.  In fact I'm not sure what 
kind of payment this thing is (says it's an 
international money order but it came from 
Florida).... so I'm holding the cel until it 
clears my banks  (sent an email to tell him so).  
Now I'm waiting for my next threatening email 
from him.


Grrrrrr .... I HATE EBAY ......

To top it off I'm going out of the country next 
Thursday and all the appropriate tickets haven't 
arrived.  My fiance (in the military)is on his 
way to a wedding (ex-girlfriend no less) and I 
can't get in touch with him to give him the 
directions to the place we're supposed to stay at 
in England next weekend.... Nothing like having a 
HUGE panic attack .... {sobs}

{sighs}
Okay, done ... sorry for the extra long post, 
which was slightly off-topic.  If you're made it 
this far, thanx for reading.
