Captain Insano The Pokemon Master

Well...I guess the ebay buyer pretzdothack aka im_a_loli is the featured nutcase of the month.

He bid on some used Pokemon toys. Paid on the 23rd, started squawking on the 29th, opened a case the 1st. I checked my e-mail just before I was about to send the box...saw that payment had been stopped and sent him a mail saying that I don't send shit out without funds in hand and had he bothered to read my auction terms (detailing that my husband is fucked up from GBS and I have a toddler, so at times, shit is late) he'd have known to keep his pants on.

He then argues with me that because my terms are on my about me page and not on the auction itself then he doesn't have to abide by them. I tell him that, if he had bothered to click on "shipping and payment" or "refund policy" then it would have directed him to read my about me page for full terms.

He bitches that I should use a template on my auction. I counter with people don't want to sit there and read auction terms, they want an item description. If after they read that, they decide they want to bid they can click about me for the details and bid or not. Simple. Not to this asshole.

He tells me that I have his payment and to send out the item, I tell him, no I don't because he fuckin' froze it. I actually use the money people send me to send shit out, not my own money, and since his payment is on "hold" now I no longer have the fuckin' money to send his shit.

He tells me I am being petty. Hmm, yeah. Asshole, your "hold" shitcanned an entire bank transfer...one that contained your payment and several others. I had to scramble to return cans and use all my flea market money to cover it so that my mortgage check would not bounce. Not only that, 4 other people got their shit late because I had to wait an additional 2 days for the revised transfer to get to my account.

He finally gets his money refunded and I think "Good, I'm rid of that nutcase" He leaves me a negative...the only one I have gotten in 12 years of doing business on ebay...another domino in the chain effect he already set off. Then, when I relist the Pokemon, he e-mails me under a new username bitching about me not using templates and saying thanks for blocking him...now in order for him to know I blocked him, he had to have tried to bid...LOL.

This guy is starting to border on being a stalker. I shot off an e-mail basically telling him that his life must really be empty in order for him to be harassing me over used Pokemon and then after reiterating my auction terms that he hadn't bothered to follow, I told him to get a life.

Ugh, if you're too lazy to click a damned link then that's your problem not mine. I state twice in each auction where to go for my terms. That's how I roll. Deal with it.

You know damned well that if that link was to some porno site he'd have clicked on it right away to take a look. Maybe that's what I need to do from now on. Put "look at my porn".

About Me

I finally had a decent plan for catching up on my mortgage, I dropped a $280 check in the mail to start the ball rolling...then yesterday I log into paypal to find that they went and stopped a $43 transfer I was making because some frigging illiterate douchebag buyer filed a claim on something he had paid for only a week before.

I think the main problem with ebay buyers is that some of them don't think things through. They don't stop and think that these are individuals that they are buying from, not a fucking Wal-Mart Superstore, but hell, even places such as Amazon can take up to 2 weeks to send you something. I make sure that I spell it out in my about me page that I am caring for an ill man and a 2 year old, therefore I am frequently slowed down. I have never NOT sent an item. I did not get 100% positive feedback by being a deadbeat.

I think between Pete fucking with my support payments and this asshole inadvertently fucking with a bank transfer I felt it was the last straw. I was rather rude. I spelled it out for him in terms I thought his intelligence could handle no money = me no send item. Then I reiterated that the whole thing could have been avoided had he bothered to read my about me page. I am sure there is a mildly retarded response sitting in my ebay messages right now, but I am loathe to read it due to the violence it will incite.
