Literacy is highly overrated anyways.

$95 shipped for a slide

Do you have to refund or "hold" the item indefinitely for them to pick up?

Amen brother, she still looks as good as she did in Labyrinth.

Coincidentally, I was lucky enough to land a wife who bears a striking resemblance to her, muhahahaha! And yea, sorry to keep that debate going for so long, I need to not come on here after a day of heavy drinking. Regardless of our differences, you guys are all stand up in my book!

Pics or it didn't happen.

I need more Tuesdays full of heavy drinking........

 

Quick eBay advice, send or not send?

Guy won a suit, hails from Canada, is called Dr. John K***. British surname no doubt! Sounds good right?

Trouble is:

1. Private feedback, I cannot look at anything!

2. Contacts me with the worst level of unintelligible English I have ever seen. I would have figured an educated man / M.D. that appears to have a British name would have at least a good grasp of English. Grammar mistakes or spelling errors are normal, but his message seemed like someone wrote in their native language and used Google translator to turn it into English.

This is important to me. I have been shafted before by the SNAD's, I really do not want this to happen again, not when I have $400 riding on it.

My gut feeling / judgement says to refund his money and take negative feedback if he decides to leave it. I will write an extremely nice, apologetic, and polite email to him.

Any of you disagree with my approach? LMK.

I know eBay policy is I am bounded by contract to send. However, they have proved themselves to be dishonorable in the past so I do not feel duty bound to honor their policies.

as an attorney (but not your attorney) lemme tell you this: no one is bound by honor to fulfill a contract. people are only bound by their reluctance/hesitance to pay the price for breaking the contract. in your case, it's the possibility of negative feedback. so, ask yourself: would you pay $400 to remove a single negative feedback from your record? if not, keep the suit and sell it to someone else. if so, send him the suit and (most likely) kiss the $400 goodbye.

What does SNAD represent?

You get the idea.

Definitely don't send. If it were me, I would write the apology letter, put it through a couple google translations then send while making sure to mention I was a Nigerian price who had untold fortunes if only he could wire me additional monies so I may escape my captors.

It represents an ebay seller getting f'ed in the ass* and donkey punched by an ebay buyer.

*With no reacharound.

Good on you, brother.
