Okay, I know, third post before getting work, sue me, I've got a lot on my mind and have been getting up earlier to take Nande out for her walk so P can sleep in a little bit more.
Anyway, I was just surfing some auctions on eBay and I have to post, have to.
Unless eBay does something to address the people who underprice auctions and then tack on a ridiculous shipping charge, they will continue to lose money by this backdoor cheating method.
One auction I was looking at wanted $15 to ship an iPod case. Said case weighed no more than a a few ounces and yet they wanted $15 to ship it. They would make at least $12 clear on the auction because eBay doesn't get a cut of the shipping charges, just the final selling price.
And it galls me no end that some stuff I'd ordered for my new cellphone had $5 shipping charges built into the auction and I could plainly see that they shipped the stuff for $.85, that's eighty five cents. They made more than $4 on the shipping charge scam side. It just bothers the hell out of me knowing that these people are gouging winning bidders on shipping without even the first regard for the fraud they are perpetrating.
Nowadays, I won't bid on any auction with stupid shipping fees or one those irritating "checkout" systems only to have me pay via PayPal in the end anyway. I will, on occasion, send an email to the idiots charging $15 to ship something that will cost them a dollar to ship but they never seem to write me back, I wonder why?
Totally Unrelated Fury News
Oh yeah, some moronic TV exec has greenlighted a show featuring OJ Fucking Simpson. Um yeah, I'm interested in nothing this woman hating double murderer has to say. The only thing I'm interested in seeing is his personal divine retribution for murdering his wife and Ron Goldman and for having the sheer unmitigated brass cajones to blame Nicole Simpson for her own death.
Hey OJ, die. Just got die, please. The world doesn't need or want you, just go crawl in a hole and die, you filthy and reprehensible excuse for a man. Die. Now.
[Update: I'd like to propose a general consensus name change for OJ Simpson to OJ Fuckin' Simpson because it flows better, describes him better and helps to remind the world that he's a loathsome character who I wouldn't bother to piss on if he were on fire.]
PS Lily's mom rocks!
