Never trust anyone

Sat Jul 25, 2009, 3:33 AM
So.......where to begin.....A recap: I entered into a contract to pay for items on eBay. Only then was i told my Paypal account had to be varified. I tried to varify my account but my 3v card was out of money. I tried to change to a new card, but i had to be varified to do that. Eventually I worked my way around that. I was charged the 1.50, which is to be returned upon varification. Paypal told me i would get a code in my next bank statement, and that would varify my account. I have a 3v card, therefore I don't receive bank statements (oh yeah, they really know their clients). I sent messages to the people to whom i owed money, explaining the delay. One of them replied saying no worries ("see-and-hear" - good guy). One person sent me a generic message that wasn't even a response to me statement. He didn't read my explaination AND THEN had the gall to enter a complaint about me not paying ("bangzo_world"). At this point eBay set a deadline and said my account could be suspended for this. All along i hadnt heard from Paypal. Out of desperation, i tried to pay one more time. It worked. Apparently i had been varified but had not been sent any message to this effect. So now my account could be suspended, i have been charged the 1.50 onto my card, i have been charged extra for my items because the conversion rate went up since i ordered the items and all this is Paypal's fault.

i'm so pissed right now i could hurt myself

NEVER TRUST PAYPAL

I wrote that part 11 days ago, but didn't put it up in case someone saw it (Bangzo) before i got my stuff. All has been resolved. i got all my items, the suspension threat has been lifted, and i got my 1.50 back (i wasnt letting those b*stards get ANY of my money). But, before they returned my money, i had to fight my mortal enemy: stupidity. i sent paypal an e-mail requesting me money back, an apology for blows to my credability on ebay, and an explaination sent to ebay saying none of this was my fault. i eventually got my money back, having been told twice to get my code from my bank statement and having told them THREE TIMES that i dont get bank statements, having gone through two liaisons, one of which had the brass to ask my why i wanted my money back at all - BECAUSE IT WAS MY FUCKING MONEY DONNA, IT MAKES NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE WHY I WANT IT, YOU TOLD ME I COULD HAVE IT - after ALL that, i have my 1.50 back. i care more about that 1.50 than i do about the items that started all this.

I feel like i could chunder with anger.

if you read all this, thanks. it means a lot that my life is entertaining if nothing else.

Having completed five years of higher level art in secondary school, Ichabod-Homer looked at his work and realised he had in fact slept for most of that time. He therefore took it upon himself to draw somewhat frequently until he could look at his work and say "now THERE'S a drawing you can set your watch to".
