Okay, after a recent post by General Zod, ("Why don't you just get them on Ebay?") I decided to stop farting around and just buy myself some Star Wars DVDs.
I registered on Ebay and Paypal, and before long, I was off and running. I had ordered about 200 bucks worth of random stuff, like the aforementioned SW DVDs, Darkness tickets, and more recently, a copy of the Criterion Edition Robocop, still in plastic.
Then, once I started getting confirmation e-mails from Ebay, I noticed something was amiss.
...To make a long story short, I'm up right now listening to Blue Oyster Cult and e-mailing every person I bought something from because fucking Ebay stole my old address from my Hotmail account, (without me entering it at all, and using a Hotmail "profile" function that isn't supposed to even exist anymore!) and had used it to kindly fill in my "preferred address" for me.
I don't know if these people will get these damned e-mails on time, much less at all.
If they do wind up at my old address, there is basically no chance of getting them back, since no one who lives there is even remotely close to being that honest.
FUCK ME RAW.
The moral? Don't deal with shady people trying to sell you items that are possibly illegal, because they might turn out to be perfectly nice people who do good business, and that will distract you from who you should really be watching, EBAY.
