Phenotype
Composition Realization
It was interesting to watch some people the other day coming to the realization that a Rally was a Little with something else tacked on the end.
Somehow made me feel better about the way I think about challenge square dancing.
eBay Sux
Yes… some of you may love it… but eBay Sucks.
I bought (‘won’ in eBay parlance) my first item on eBay 2 months ago. Cost: $50, plus $16 shipping. I followed their recommendation and used PayPal (which also sucks) to pay. Unfortunately I paid without reading the fine print.
The seller never shipped me my item. It’s now off to eBay for dispute resolution. The downside? They charge $25 for the process. Bigger downside? They’re only considering the $50 as the price. Despite the fact that I paid for the $16 shipping at the same time, it somehow won’t be part of my refund.
What a scam. Had I paid by credit card, the credit card company would have nixed the charges no questions asked. Now, I’m out $41. From the way this has been handled from the outset, I think the nickle-and-dime scams are baked into their business model.
