I got stiffed by an EBay buyer last night!

[ohiosmith]

So, I sell this guy a campaign button for $2.00 and had it already to mail, so I call him to see why he hadn't paid for it yet. He says that he thought he had enough left from his allowance to pay but when he counted it he only had $.78 and wondered if I would accept less for the button. I said no and told him he committed to buy the button for $2.00 and that's what I expected. He said he would ask his mom to write a check and get back to me. I told him I wasn't waiting and wanted what I was owed. He freaked out and said he no longer wanted the damn button and if I called him again his dad would find me and kick my ass. Should I be worried?

1. Oh my

:eyes:

You were foolish to mail it before receiving payment.

[Whitacre D_WI]

2. And then you called him several times a day to threaten him?

In violation of numerous laws?

Wow, harsh.

3. I seriously got stiffed last week...

Someone BIN bought our VAN!! And then didn't answer any emails or get in any contact.... bought a phone card and called them (Canada) and they claimed no knowledge of buying it?!?!? And pretty much hung up on me! Buyer's remorse, or change your freakin' password dude... GAH.

[ohiosmith]

4. That really sucks.

[LynzM]

5. Yeah. So I pay the re-list fee

And it still didn't meet the reserve... ah well, time to list locally. Know anyone who wants to buy a van? It's in great shape! ;)

6. LOL... that's hilarious n/t

7. Notify eBay

I read something recently where they are trying to clean up the site. Perhaps, if nothing else, they will de-list the kid.

8. LOL, funniest post I've seen all day (n/t)

Maybe you two should work it out.

[ohiosmith]

10. Oh crap. Now I'm in big trouble!

[trumad]

11. Trumadititis

it's infecting DU!

[ohiosmith]

12. OK, I'll bite. Trumadititis?

13. The art of starting a thread with the soul intent of being a Smart Ass.

;-)

[ohiosmith]

14. Cool! Do I qualify?

[trumad]

15. Most certainly because it was an excellent thread

and deliciously smart ass.

[ohiosmith]

16. Thank you for the endorsement. Your continued support is sincerely

appreciated.

[Misunderestimator]

22. Yep.... you qualify

had me ROFL. I had stayed out of contributing to the thread that was your inspiration... one of the most self-loving threads I've seen here. How admirable not to admit any fault in something... remind you of someone? Guess the idea didn't pop into his head.

20. You catch on QUICK!

no offense!

17. If this ISN'T a have, it SHOULD be!

Come on admit it - you're tweek aren't you?

If so, this is the best gag I've ever seen on DU. If not, YOU SHOULD BE! :D

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. Whoa, now, let's not accuse anybody of sock-puppeting.

This is just a parody thread.

[ohiosmith]

21. My post is the honest to God truth. I think tweek's is a parody.

[ohiosmith]

19. Regrettably,and assuredly, I am not tweek.

23. Locking

Continuing a flame war - also in poor taste.
