EBAY...ESCHMAY...
As any of you that have read my profile know, I have a hobby...That's collecting comics....and lots of us collectors do business on that bastion of e-commerce known as EBAY...Well, as I have an account with them and have for a few years, I decided to go and enter my new email and home addresses..respectively.
Check this out...I go on ebay..figure I'd change my email addy...I do so..it ask for my CC, assuring me that I will not be charged, this is only for "Verification". Ok...I enter the number...
I get redirected saying it cannot go to that webpage...
so I try again...and again...
after a few tries....like 13....I say screw it, I was able to change my home addy so I'll just go later...
earlier this evening, I'm paying some bills...decide to check my cc balance...Lo and behold there is a pending charge for 13.00! WTF!
I haven't used that card since before moving to AZ...So I check to see who's the charge on...and guess who it is????
Yup...EBAY!
THE FOKING RAT BASTARDS!
So, I go to ebay and send them the following:
[color=red]I tried to submit a new email today. for some reason, your site requested my Credit Card number...The note specifically stated that I would not..that the Card would not be Charged, and yet today I find charges to my Card for a total of 13.00! What gives? if this is how you subsidize your site I will close my account and take my business elsewhere! I want an answer Gentlemen, and I want it NOW!
As it is I was not able to change my email and I was charged a dollar for every time that I was re-directed to the site?? This is ridiculas...
Either credit my card or cancel my account. I will not do business this way.[/color]
it's very simple..I get my money..or I they lose a customer and get reported for fraud...
I don't care if its 13.00 or 130.00 or $.13 Don't try to rip me
-------------------------------------------------------------------
As if the day wasn't going well enough..I get a call from the Wife...tells me she lost her cell phone...Thinks she dropped it in the parking lot when she got her coffee this morning....
DAMN!
Ok..Wolfie's on the case..Call to Verizon...blah blah blah...New Phone on the way...Wife calls back, tell her it will be overnighted to where she's at now (sisters house) just make sure someone is there to sign for it..ok..
Then I get another call this afternoon...Wife again..Sister found the phone..
(AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
It was in the front yard, by the lemon tree...Sorry...can't we stop the new one??
No. It's being OVERNIGHTED....
So, now she has two...Merry Friggin' Christmas...
Then....day gets better...
Pharmacy calls..."Mr.Wolfie, Your medication will not be ready today...Your dumbass doctor has yet to call back...we faxed them twice..you need to call..."
It's 5 pm.
My doctor closes up shop 4pm California time...THANKS FOR CALLING ME NOW!
and you wonder why I talk about booze so much, Annie???
HO! HO! FOKING HO!

Sounds like you've had a really shitty day. Hope it gets better soon.
You still collect comics? What titles do you buy? Do you preserve them in tip top mint condition? LOL... sorry for asking so many questions. I have a ton of comics myself but i don't really take care of them.
I heard the word, "BOOZE" and I came running. Had me a bloody mary with rum.. I think it's supposed to have vodka, no? bah!
What's this about ebay? Creeps... I don't trust them, but probably because I don't understand how it works and how people don't get into fraud situations. Let us know how it goes.
Poor wife, losing her phone. You're a good husband. Mine would say, "Um.. and so what do you want me to do about it?".. he's quite clueless in reading the female mind department.
I know nothing about comic books only that my husband sold his collection after we were married. Coincident? Maybe. But I'll let you answer Jonzz's questions. He gets quite surly when he's interrupted and needs answers fast.
LOL
HO HO HO ... HEY! where's my swear words. Darn it.. no, DAMN IT!
To answer Surley Jonzz...yes, I have a collection that stands at 6747, in all stages of conditions...from Near Mint to Good. What can I say..I do it, cause I can..and it keeps me out of trouble...
Annie, you made hubby sell his..Bad, bad Annie..;)
Most guys I know do this once they meet (are hooked) by the significant other...some(self included)continue cause we have spouses that look at us and shake their heads in wonderment..shrugging their shoulders saying.."whatever..at least its not porn.."
Like I said, it keeps me out of trouble.. :)
