What I Thought While on the Pot: Ebay

Ebay

I've been using Ebay for several years now and I've had over 200 successful transactions. I've only had 3 times where someone tried to rip me off. One of those times, I actually received the item in question a full 9 months later. I guess it had to be conceived and carried to term before it could be delivered. I mean...it wasn't a baby. It was just some cologne. Cologne for babies.
Ok so anyway. I recently bid on some jewelry on Ebay. It was a nice gold rope necklace. I got it for what I felt was a decent price. I paid immediately. I was sent an email the next day stating that it had been shipped. I'm like "koo". That was on July 1st. I figured I would receive it the next week. I didn't. On the 8th of July, I received a "delivery confirmation" notice from the person who sold me the item. I informed her that she could not have a delivery confirmation because I had not received the item. She argued with me in the next email stating that she would provide me with the delivery confirmation number so I could see myself that it had been delivered. I told her that I needed not to track down a package to tell for myself that indeed that package had not been delivered. I've simply only got to look around the room and notice the obvious lack of a package. I can in addition scan my recent memory for having received a package with jewelry and it would not be there. Perhaps my hereditary Alhzheimers has set in early as I am a mere 27 years old.
So, just like last time, I'm going to end up requesting my money back through Paypal. Last time, it took less than a week to get my money back.
I actually got the money back on the cologne too...even though I eventually received it. I feel so naughty.
