So I’ve noticed that this site, which went from being a cesspool of intellectual conversation and debate…. to being a meager message board at best.

We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended due to the violation of our site policy below:

* Seller Non-performance - Not delivering an item for which payment was accepted or significantly misrepresenting an item by not meeting the terms and item description that are outlined in the listing.

Due to the suspension of this account, please be advised you are prohibited from using eBay in any way including registering a new account. Please note that any seller fees due to eBay will immediately become due and payable. EBay will charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method currently on file.

They go on further to say that I can be reinstated if I respond to feedback received… the problem is, a suspended user cannot receive feedback, leave feedback, or respond to feedback. Their help file suggests having buyers leave me positive feedback to get reinstated…

Let me explain why I’m sharing this information. EVERY TRANSACTION THEY LISTED AGAINST ME WAS NOT PAID FOR. So basically, what eBay is telling me, is that whether someone pays me or not, I am required to give them the item. Even though eBay has complaints on file from me against these buyers, and issued me a credit for my seller’s fees, I should still have given them the items they didn’t pay for.

I wonder if this tactic works elsewhere. I am going to Wal*Mart. I am going to ask for a TV for free. If they don’t give it to me, I will DEMAND that they close their doors.

It apparently works for eBay…

I am absolutely convinced that our mail-lady only comes once every three days. In the two months since we moved into our new apartment, I have only seen her twice. Oddly enough, both times she was parked near my building, sitting in her little mail truck, eating a sandwich. Not that I have ever been the greatest fan of mail carriers, but this is bullshit.

I know federal law requires that all mail be delivered by 6pm, but I am not sure if there is a law to prevent the carrier from waiting until a building has enough mail to make it worth her while to walk to our building… I’m sure there is. The problem is… how do I prove it?

The following is a Yellow Hobbit Rant. This is no different than the type of medium used by the aforementioned artist used on his radio show. The listener, or reader in this case is generally confused for the first 5 or 10 minutes, then as things progress in the rant, they SOMETIMES make sense. As such, it is highly recommended that you read the article this rant is targeted at (The Hot Corner with Bambi Lathong-Dong) before reading the actual rant.

In the words of Walter, one of Jeff Dunham’s characters, “GOOD GAWD!”

I was googling random words, and I came accross a website aimed at helping parents keep their sanity while dealing with being parents.

I came accross this horrid article that has more typos than an AOL Instant Message…

First of all, “Bambi,” you are a cunt. Please die.

I am one of those twisted individuals that inspect every bite of food before allowing it to enter my body. I do this with much regret, as I find myself consuming items that under normal laboratory conditions, would not be acceptable. I hate embarrassing good people even more than I hate eating bugs/hair. I generally choke down what they call ‘food’ even though I know otherwise. I am terribly afraid of contaminating my otherwise clean body with the filth of others. If I am going to eat dirt, I would at least like to know what sort of dirt my body will be attempting to process.

You know, if you look around the world, you’ll find insanity in the most unusual places.

Let’s take a look at retail for just a moment. Many companies pride themselves on “customer service.” They post banners, show their employees videos, even run ads on television and radio about how great their customer service is. What they essentially do is say “We give great customer service,” over and over again so much that some people actually believe it.
