the story
It all started when I won an auction for a copy of Asian Cult Cinema off of eBay. Ususally after auctions, the seller or buyer contacts the other via email. This usually happens within a span of 2 or 3 days. The auction ended on January 31st, and I sent an email out on February 2nd. It was as follows: Hi, I won your auction for ACC off eBay for $3.99. However, the auction did not list the shipping price. I will pay you the $3.99 + shipping amount through PayPal as soon as I receive a statement from you, thanks!I wated a few days, and still received no response. I then forwarded my own email to them again, on February 6th. Finally, on the 14th I received two replies, one from each of the emails I sent. The first one was nice. It said: hello, the price was 3.99 + 4.99 S&H.and the second one sounded a little more irritated, as if I had already received that email and decided to forward my own again: THE PRICE IS 3.99 + 4.99 S&H ... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR PAYMENTThen, I sent the money via PayPal. A few days later, on February 15th, I received yet another email. This one saying: THE SHIPPING ON THAT ITEM WILL BE 2.99No need explaining that I was confused now. I had already paid for the transaction. Actually paid $2 more than this email said I needed to, so I replied yet again the same day: Okay, I already recieved TWO emails saying the shipping would be $4.99, and have already sent a Paypal payment for 8.98 (3.99 auction + 4.99 S&H). I don't know if you have received it yet, but you should have, as I sent it a few days agoToday is the 28th, and I have recieved yet another email. This is 100% true. I did not make this up: http://filmschool.bizland.com/PIC00057.jpgReally. That's the picture link he sent me. Isn't that hilarious? Oh, if you wanted to know, the person's eBay user ID is kriss_rundle@hotmail.com, which is also the email address that they use to contact me. More to come, I'm pretty sure of it. |
