Ebay love hate relationship

Ebay. I love it. I mean, I’ve had many GREAT experiences on there. But I’ve also had a couple bad ones… really it was just ONE bad one until a week ago… but they both come down to being my own stupid fault. I mean the most recent one… I overlooked one, yes ONE spot where there was a description, and bought the wrong product. It took over 8 days to get to me, and then was blatantly right there in bright big red letters, the description that I had overlooked in the seller’s description. Needless to say I gave horrible reviews, and then I did the wrong thing. I sent him an email, telling him I was upset with his description. Holy cow, he ripped me a new one AND continued to yell at me telling me I was stupid… well in response, I told him the attitude was not needed and our interactions were over. I’d take my mistake and move on. And he responded, yep, still complaining that it was me who had a bad attitude. The way this all happened, it was quite obvious that it was a male specimen. Which right now, makes me put another tally mark under their column on why they’re so horrible… But still this is not even close to my first run in with “EBAY” or what I was made to believe was ebay. O how I regret that quick decision and the loss of that much money… yeah, I was that dumb blonde naïve girl. But I’m not blonde, nor dumb, and I’d like to think that I’m not naïve… but maybe my thinking that all people are good hearted and aren’t evil, proves me to be very naïve. Either way I am down a lot of money and have a few more notches in my belt. What a way to start out living in a new city, in a new state, knowing no one and getting gypped (no offense to you gypsies out there – I admire you’re lifestyle) online!
