I hate it when..

I was on ebay and saw an auction ending in about 20 min. and put a bid on it. I had to go so I didn't really have time to look at the whole listing but I did see that the seller has 99.9% positive feedback so I figured I would go ahead and bid. Well, I come home after dropping my brother off at his friends and find out that I won so I click pay now and the payment methods are........... "other". What the hell is other? There was nothing in the listing at all either. No payment instructions, nothing. SO I email the guy and say hey, I won your item but I don't know what other means. You really need to get paypal and it would make life a lot easier and probably increase your sales... etc. etc. I'm fine sending cash if that's what it is but I just hate it when stuff like this happens. Anyone feel my pain lol?

    oh it get better! Especially when you read the auction with 1 minute left and bid on a PSA 8 and then read it is o/c image
  • I agree 100%. Don't you just love having to beg to pay? It is a pet peeve of mine to encounter unclear or nonexistant payment/shipping/insurance instructions. Do they really think I'm going to send money out all over the U.S. without any understanding about what will happen if I don't get my item? Also, don't they realize they are probably losing money by omitting the information? I think Ebay should disallow any listing that doesn't address those rather important topics, but, we live in a real world....

  • A month later and this guy has me in a dispute over a $7 card. I notified him about a day after I won the auction that I wouldn't be paying and that I would send him some paypal for his fees but nope, the jerk keeps it goin. Now I guess I'll have a strike? against my ebay record.
