Yet another eBay gem

[bob]

So I see this listing today for King of Casino and Andre Panza (CIC) for $1.60 each.
Now, mind you, I fully expected for this not to work out, but for $3.20, it was worth the risk.
I do the BIN, pay immediately, and right away, I get refunded.

this message comes in:

Dear galam,
I just issued a refund.  A goverrat unlawfully accessed my Ebay account and editted the listing to read 115 items available at $1.60.  I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats. 

If you're upset or disapointed, you shouldn't be: You should have seen the obvious inconsistencies in the listing.  The description should have been a blatant clue to this auction not being true.  For example, having 115 available would be almost impossible, especially all in the same condition.  Another thing that should have tipped you off is that the description states there is only 2 cards available, while the quantity reads 115. 

If you have a problem with the refund or any of my explanation, contact customer service or open a Case with Ebay.  If you leave negative feedback, I'm going to have it removed as records will show it was editted from computers I do not use.

The description was VERY long and full of crap, but nowhere did I see "115 available".  The auction said "2 available", meaning BOTH games.
Anyway, now, eBay has this stuck in my shopping cart and still requesting payment.  I have sent him two more notes, but no response yet.



When I click the link to the auction in the shopping cart, it takes me to the relisted item for $12.40 each.
WTF?

goverrats?

Well I am stumped...if Google doesn't know the answer I give up.

[johnnymad]

They called Arnold the Governator when he was in office. Maybe this guy lives in a colony of rats or something and is pissed about their leader, the goverrat. But then he said there were more than one at the end. I am so confused.

[Medic_wheat]

People with MH issues shouldn't be allowed to sell things on ebay where they have to corresponde with the general public..



this is why I don't sell things on ebay.

I'm assuming he means that evil government Illuminati conspirators have a plan to hack into all Turbografx-16 eBay listings and artificially inflate prices by $10 per auction? Makes sense to me.

So you can see it to?


I am not alone.....

wake up and open your eyes people!


the truth is out there...

[bob]

Getting better, he finally got back to me...

Dear ridgewood_general_store_1,
these items are back in my "shopping cart" requesting the $3.20 payment again.

Dear galam,
I can't do it. How about $10 for the first one and $6 for the one you don't quite want as much. $16 plus shipping?

Dear ridgewood_general_store_1,
um...no thanks.  I'll just resend the $3.20 payment to satisfy the original listing again.
I'll probably send it later tonight, so I have enough time to leave feedback.  I think others need to be aware of how you do business.
Also, I'm not sure of what a "goverrat" is, but I hope you get them out of your computer soon.

THEN, he opens a case to cancel the transaction.  My response in the text box...

WTF is a goverrat?

Its a well known fact that the NSA hacks eBay listings all the time to suppress prices and keep honest people from making a decent living.

Galam... I feel for you man. You've exposed the ruse. I'd be watching out for black helicopters over my house tonight.

[Arjak]

"Goverrats" my ass! This is about The Search for More Money. He probably posted the listing, saw that he might be able to get more than that, and then you bought it before he could change the listing. Now he's trying to weasel out of the hole he dug himself.

[Punch]

I want to believe.

[johnnymad]

Tell him you are a goverrat and you'll come get him if he doesn't give you the games for that price.
