Same formula, different zip code.

Some @sshole on ebay left me negative feedback because he can't read. I said that I will only accept paypal if you pay 3% to the auction total. So, he bid and paid right away and I said "hey, you still owe $10 for the fee. He said "no problem" and paid it.

A few days later I get neg feedback saying "great product, but it's not fair that makes others pay the fees".

The guy had 4 feedbacks total. stupid noob. he won't respond to my emails, either.

stupid people seriously annoy me

How's this for a rant?

Yesterday I had a bunch of shit stolen from my apartment. My bro was here and fell alseep with the door unlocked, I come back 2 hours later and notice that my wallet, 150 in cash, and about 100 in cologne had been stolen off my desk.

Even worse, the guy stole our Xbox 360, 4 games, and my roomate's iPod and camera.

As the policeman is here taking down our report I get a call from an officer. I figure it's just one calling me to talk to me about the theft, he gets on the phone with the officer who was here, and they talk for a couple minutes. Apparently the thief had gotten in an accident on campus, tried to flee the scene, and was pulled over. They found a shitload of stuff in the guy's car (laptops, iPods, 360's). Eventually we will get all our stuff back but in order for it to be used as evidence in the case they need to hold on to it, meaning it's gonna be anywhere from 6 months to a year.

I don't understand why they need to hold on to it. Can't they just make a list of everything that was taken? Or at least let me get my cash and cards from my wallet?

Better late than never, I guess.

Since GBR posted her eBay rant I might as well post mine.

I wanted to get a certain game, NBA 2K7, for the 360. It had come out in November, but in stores was still at original price, $60. So this guy was selling the game on eBay used. Most of the used 2K7 games were going for about $50 including ship. However, his auction ended at about 4:30 AM EST. So I woke up and got it, including shipping, for $44.

I bought the game about 2 days after Christmas so when it didn't arrive in a week I just assumed that the season was slowing down the post. He listed it that he was shipping it APO from Florida, so I figured it'd get to me soon.

Then I waited, and waited, and waited. A month and a half passed and I was badgering him to refund me, but he kept on saying it would be there soon. Then, in the middle of Feb. I get a message saying that it was returned to him with a wrong address stamp. I figure he's BSing, but I check my info and right enough the address listed for me is my Dad's old work address. He wanted some books and changed it from our home to his work without telling me. So the guy says he has to send it to me, but I have to shell out $30! I ask him why it's so much and he tells me he's shipping from Sydney, Australia! Apparently, he didn't think to tell me he was on service half way across the world. So my game arrives, Two months after I order it and instead of just going to the store and buying it for $60 I end up paying $74. eBay is great, but I get screwed somehow once a year.

Well I don't think thats the guys fault, though. Screwed isn't the right word.

[BallHawk]

No, I don't blame him for the wrong address. That's not on him. However, I wish he would of said he's shipping from Australia. If I had known that, I probably wouldn't of bought from him. The same scenario would of happened with anyone else, though.

Yeah, he should have said where he was shipping it from. I learned my lesson on that a year or so ago. In the item location, it just said "Ships to United States". Well, it took 4 weeks to get, because it came from Hong Kong and they didn't tell me that until I emailed them 2 weeks later asking where my item was. I have since learned to read all the fine print, because alot of them indicate they ship from different locations. If I am unsure, I will ask them before i bid.

I love Hong Kong counterfeits. Where else can you get a $85 box set for $15 bucks?

I have never been so pissed off about reading something.......this makes me absolutely sick.


Girl finds missing dog's head in box on doorstep

Story Highlights• Case "extraordinarily heinous," Humane Society official says
• Police looking for suspects in "implied" terroristic threat
• Pet's head came in box with Valentine's candy
Adjust font size:

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- A 17-year-old girl who spent weeks looking for her missing dog unwrapped a box left on her doorstep and found the pet's severed head inside, authorities said.

Homicide investigators were looking into the case because of the "implied" terroristic threat, St. Paul Police Sgt. Jim Gray said. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday it was offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

"This was extraordinarily heinous," said Dale Bartlett, the Humane Society's deputy manager for animal cruelty issues. "I deal with hundreds and hundreds of cruelty cases each year. When I read about this case, it took my breath away. It's horrible."

After Crystal Brown's 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix, Chevy, wandered away last month, she put up "missing" posters in her neighborhood and went door to door looking for him. She called the St. Paul animal shelter and rode the bus there several times.

"I felt empty," Crystal told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "I couldn't talk to anyone. He was my dog. It was just me and him. ... I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets."

Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."

Crystal opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.

Crystal screamed when she saw her dog's face.

"She was just hysterical," said Crystal's grandmother, Shirley Brown. "She was screaming. She said, 'Grandma, it's my dog's head!'

"I said, 'no it can't be!"'

Authorities say the case is an isolated incident and the suspect likely knew the family. A motive is unclear.

"This was so cruel," Crystal said. "This is one sick, twisted person."

She now has a new puppy, another Australian shepherd. She's named it Diesel. "Hopefully, he'll be my best friend," Crystal said.

That is downright disgusting. I hope they find whoever did it and put them away with the dog head in their cell.
