It's a good thing eBay doesn't use paper mail....

Let's just say it's been FOREVER. And this post isn't even about medical school...well, mostly. RANT: So, I'm buying a replacement part for my Sony PSP because it's been broken forever. I had purchased a new joystick in mid-January, but the previous seller hadn't shipped it and after some poking around other buyers of said replacement part haven't gotten theirs either. I don't get it. The seller has a 9X.X% rating and emailed me saying there was a problem, but I've sent an email message and an eBay message and still no responses. COMMUNICATION. Why work so hard to have good rating and then let it go to poo not responding??? So, I have to dispute that. Maybe that put me in a bad mood.

So, I ended up buying the part from another seller and I'm setup on Paypal and go ahead and pay and complete the transaction. RANT#2 I turn to my email and I have not one, not two, but FOUR emails.
a) from eBay saying congrats you've just won, pay up.... hey, thanks, it was a "buy it now" item and i'm still logged in completing my transaction
b) from paypal saying payment made! hey, thanks I know, but it is good to have a receipt.
c) from seller saying congrats you've just won, pay up! go it....see above.
d) from seller saying hey thanks for paying up. *exasperation*
it's a good thing eBay doesn't use paper mail....but really, there's a shortage of electrons too, isn't there????

p.s. i gotta go study GI.
