Something like this hapened to me on a UBid auction. I won a computer mother board that was suppose to support a 800 MHZ chip. Got the board and it only supported 500 MHZ. Contactacted the person and they said in no certian terms "Sorry about your luck". Well I contacted Paypal and got the same response your friend did. My next call was to the credit card company to dispute the payment to PayPal. Stopped payment to PayPal and told PayPal they could get their money back from the clown. It took me almost 6 months but the charge was removed from my credit card and the clown e-mailed me wanting the board back. I replied with sorry about your luck. Droped the board a few times on the floor put in the back of the pickup truck to carry it to the post office (Bounced it around good) Packed it up and sent it back. I know it never worked again. :mad :mad :rolleyes:

Yeah, but before it's here the 31 days are already over (most of the time) so you can only suspect something's wrong AFTER that and you're screwed basically.

Hope your stuff arrives in good order, looks like a nice hose.

Does not have to do with this Topic.
But why is this post a half mile wide?
I have run into this in here before. I have to use my slider to slide
all the way to the end of each line. Makes it really hard to read.
(Plus by the time I get all the way to the end on one line and go all the way back, I forgot what he was even saying!) :crazy:

It’s only on some posts, am I the only one having this problem?
:confused:

Normally that would be caused by a very large pic, a large stream of characters without spacing or a lot of images side by side. I don't see them here though, strange problem.

OK, I see now. It’s you Marck.
I have my pics turned off, and apparently you have 25
of some find of little faces in your posts, that when put
end to end makes an address half a mile long.
That answers my question, it’s not just me. :)
