Another eBay saga; Seriously

Yes indeedy (Tery has a Facebook friend who begins every post with "So....," an in medias res kind of thing. I say it's a sign of deep-seated insecurity, wanting to make sure she's got people's attention before speaking, but let's see if it works for me

So Banksy is pretty cool. If sooo 2000's ;) But yeah, I like his political savvyness and weird admonishments.

I admire you for buying on e-Bay. I just would not have the courage or nerve for it. Especially if I'm buying more expensive items. The only thing I ever bought there was a korean hanafuda deck. I usually stick to Amazon if I need to buy something online. If I ever need anything on e-Bay I'll come to you, mkay? :D

Hey, give me a break -- we've never heard of him in America, and this documentary is a fairly recent release, so he isn't THAT ancient history. :P

eBay has its risks, but it also has a bigger selection than Amazon. And most purchases have buyer protection. I think once I had a problem with a cheap DVD I bought and they were unable to collect from the seller due to insufficient funds in their account or something, but that didn't break the bank for me. Hopefully in the case of my $189 they've added some more safeguards into the system.

And Amazon isn't foolproof either. I've also been scammed by a third-party seller on there. I remember not getting my money back and banding together with a bunch of other fellow victims to email Amazon about their seller vetting process (or lack thereof). Didn't get us anywhere, as I recall. Hopefully they've also improved their system.

Yes, I know. I was just teasing :)

Right, Amazon also has third-party sellers. I kind of forgot about that. I haven't bought a lot of stuff on either site, really.

If you need anything on eBay, let me know. Unless it's from Dupreeks508!

Thanks! I'll know who to come to if I'm ever in doubt about a lot :)
