Worst kind of jones?

[Raphael]

I don't know what's worse, jonesing for something that you ordered and are waiting for it to ship, or knowing that your item is sitting at the post office just down the street, waiting to be picked up. The Argyll jacket I won off Ebay 2 weeks ago arrived today, but I was in the shower when the postman came by. Now I have to wait until 1pm tomorrow to pick it up at the post office.

The 'so close and yet so far away feeling.' I hate that more than anything

I just returned from the post office. Well worth the wait! What a nice jacket, and it seems to be a perfect fit. I'm just letting it air out and warm up a bit, hopefully I'll have some pics later tonight.

your patience has been rewarded, the jacket sounds good. Glad ebay worked out, I've never had much success with it.

[Mr. Kilt]

Pics are up in the "show us your pics" forum.

Graham, I've been buying & selling on Ebay for almost 10 years now, and have only had one bad experience, and it was a minor one.

i have been doing fine on it for about 2 yrs... never a problem

Only problem I've ever had on eBay was with unrealistic buyers of my products.

I carry all sorts of stained glass supplies on my regular website and one eBay. Recently I had a guy buy a videotape on leaded glass construction. He got it, watched it, and then wanted to send it back and get a full refund.

I only have it clearly posted that I don't offer refunds or exchanges on videos. He could have opened it, copied it, and then tried to send it back?

Or one time I had a guy buy a soldering iron, and then threaten to give me negative feedback if I didn't let him keep the iron, refund his money, and give him some extra money to boot! Needless to say he got reported and his emails forwarded to eBay and he's no longer an eBay member.

But when it comes to purchases I've had great experiences.
