Wah. Maybe it is my fault, but I have no idea how the hell did that happen.

You see, after I moved to Vancouver, apparently I forgot to change the address on eBay to my current address. I changed the one on PayPal immediately, tho.

Since I moved I have bought things on eBay and they have been shipped correctly to my current address. But for some really, REALLY fucked up reason, my most recent purchase was sent to my old address. I don't have any idea why, cuz last time when I bought things from eBay I also paid by Paypal, so was last last time, I don't know how in the world did the wrong shipping address pop up all of a sudden. I guess I am responsible for not checking, but if the last 10 transactions went without a problem I'd have think so would this be? I don't even know how did the old address come into play. Wtf.

Dammit. Now I have to wait again for god knows how long, and prolly have to pay extra shipping. Fuckeries. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I used to buy a few things from ebay here and there....I stopped after a while. But I still go on and check to see what kinds of deals on they have.

I have always gotten everything I purchased too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I bought my Collector's BraveHeart Claymore from ebay *damn near $20 shipping & handling*, a few comics, a few cards, a few collectors figures, a few of everything perhaps. Ebay is great if you're looking for hard to find stuff. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I do understand the shipping delays problems though......I paid with money order once, and it damn near took a month for me to get my stupid order. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Hope you get your package soon. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smilejap.gif

write a letter to your old home, telling them what happened, then ask whoever lives there to mail your stuff over to Vancouver. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Include a $30 check or something..

But you bought it right? You do love anything sonic related, and there was that suspiciouse brown package tucked away beside you PC when I came round last... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Back on topic.
I personally don't like Ebay as I don't trust it. (Well the people anyway)
If I want anything off there, I tend to get my good friend Matt to bid for it for me (He's comfortable with Ebay) so If anything goes wrong, I can blame him. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Haven't used eBay in a while, but I do remember that a few months before Final Fantasy Tactics was re-issued as a Greatest Hits, my little bro sold his original copy (along with some stupid FF:Spirits Within poster from E3) for upwards of $75.

Then a few months later, we bought it again for twenty dollars. Considering he bought the first copy for about thirty, he made out fairly well.

It was evil, I know. But it rocked. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

hmm..that sucks. I have had only good experience with ebay, but that will probably change some time in the future
