wow here we go again.
Orderd a vr missions off ebay, 6 days ago get this email today

I have to apologize and hope you can understand. We've had a pretty big dilemma in our ebay business. Due to circumstances beyond our control, your item may be shipped a little more slowly than usual. We keep everything in an office. This weekend, the ceiling in the office collapsed. The insurance company is coming out today and then the repair man should be here this afternoon. Most likely, your item is not damaged as it was stored against the wall and the ceiling collapsed in the middle. Once the mess is cleaned up and the ceiling repaired, I will need to go in, check for damage, and then hopefully send your item. Shipping will be delayed a bit due to this unfortunate happening. I hope you can understand! Let me know if this is alright with you.

So this sounds like im fucked again. Funniest part if this guy has an ebay business should he really be take'n 6 days to ship something out?

I sent him a message back bascially saying , "hello i collect mgs stuff, im sorry to be a pain but if this is craked or damaged in anyway i'd really like a refund, also are you sure you didnt allready ship it out, considering your a power seller it seems kinda odd that it'd take you 6 days to figure out you have to ship something. Thanks

think ima get fucked?

for me, id tell him to take time to find it. i mean, the last thing you want is, he rushes to find it and accidentally breaking it while hes finding for it.

its very common for businesses and sellers to make 1 or 2 trips to the post office a week. Ebay has an area you fill out in your listing that says "will be shipped in so many days from payment" or something like that, for these purposes.

its the idea of "shipping and HANDLING" which is a time and a cost as well.

you need to realize, if its a big business but doesn't ship from their location someone needs to bring the batch of packages out to the PO themselves.

so relax broseph :)

Shut up, no you won't. If you oink up to Canada I'll take you to this place called "Brandy's" and all you'll do is say "THIS IS THE GREATEST PLACE EVER".

Note: bring lots of money. Single drinks cost $18 but no girl rates lower than a 15 out of 10. Yeah, I'm dead serious. OiNK!

I don't think I've ever bought something off eBay where the seller hadn't lied by omission about something.

Another eBay favorite of mine is when I list an item for sale (with a Buy it Now option), it doesn't get any bidders, then someone will purchase the same item (except in worse condition) a few days later through Buy it Now at a higher price! So fickle.
