Share your on-line shopping horror stories here…
Have you been doing any on-line shopping? How has that been going for you? Has everything been satisfactory? Or, do you have some horror stories you would like to share?
I do. Here’s my horror story: I have been doing some shopping on eBay. I’m new to eBay so I don’t really know what I’m doing yet. I hear there are a lot of pitfalls to avoid there. Many of them are unforeseen. I have been buying some old books on eBay. There are some amazing books to be had there. I ordered a couple recently from different eBay sellers. The first book arrived and the second I opened the box I regretted it. The box smelled like an ashtray. Everything reeked of tobacco smoke. The box. The styrofoam packing. The bubble wrap. And the book. The beautiful, old, wretchedly stinky book. Yuck.
The second book arrived today. Same deal. Like opening an ashtray. Everything reeked. One seller was in Florida and the other was in Arizona. Of course their eBay listings neglected to mention their vile nicotine habits. Disgusting. These books are worthless to me. I cannot read them without feeling ill. They need fumigation.
So, what are your internet shopping horror stories? I know that you must have a few good ones by now. Please share them in the comments section. Happy shopping.
